Natalie Jones APES‚ 4th period 8/8/15 Silent Spring Work 1. Carson’s first chapter explains the title of her book. Why is it called “Silent Spring”? It’s called Silent Spring because the season of spring‚ usually filled with singing birds and playing children‚ has become still and quiet because the people of the town have somehow killed the wildlife and poisoned their environment.

On Thursday‚ April 21st‚ I had the opportunity to attend a jazz combos concert. I took it upon myself to attend this concert because of my interest for jazz and all that goes along with this genre of music.

Throughout this reaction I will give a few things I liked and disliked about these two groups of performers and specifically what intrigued me about
