Journal--Silent Spring

Silent Spring, a term was supposed to represent the season it could just as easily represent a natural environment where the sounds of life, but now is no longer exists caused by the people’s activities. Rachel Carson changed the way I thought about the environment’s movement today. At beginning, a Fable for Tomorrow is a fictional tale that reflects many true stories of how people have made a tragedy of their environment themselves by chemical pesticides. Just like her said “No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.” By gathering scientific evidence detailing, she makes me know that “a shadow of death” caused by the chemical pesticides people always use to protect their farm. It calls us action to protect our surroundings before we destroyed them. Nature has its inherent system, we use advanced high-tech (like chemical pesticides) means to support this system, rather than excessive destruction of this natural system.
