Answer:
Silent Spring starts with a positive picture and ends with a negative picture, while "Save the Redwoods" starts with a negative picture and ends with a positive picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Silent Spring" is a book written by Rachel Carson. The book sheds the light on the harmful effects of chemical pesticides on agriculture. She opened her book by describing an idyllic nature that is filled with beautiful plants, fish, animals, wildflowers, etc. The writer then slowly moves towards how these fields and towns are being destroyed by using harmful chemical pesticides.
"Save the Redwoods", on the other hand, is an essay written by John Muir. The essayy talks about saving the King of Forest 'Redwoods.' His essay began with the news of trees being cut down. Then, he goes on to explain the importance of saving the redwood trees and ends his essay with a good news that the Government has passed the bill of acquiring Calaveras giants, which will ensure the preservation of Redwood trees.
Thus the correct answer is the first option.
