Question

50 POINTS!!! Do you think the opening of Silent Spring would be effective if Rachel Carson began to discuss pesticides as the cause of the blight? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

“Silent Spring” presents a view of nature compromised by synthetic pesticides, especially DDT. Once these pesticides entered the biosphere, they not only killed bugs but also made their way up the food chain to threaten bird and fish populations and could eventually sicken children. Using this evidence Carson should have began to discuss that the pesticides would be as the cause of the blight. Carson proved through scientific experiments and theory's. This would be very effective.
