Silent springs by rachel carson analysis

Carson extensively discusses the organisms that are found on earth, the water on earth and finally how soil balances on nature. In the reaction essay down here, I will discuss the Silent Springs book as a result of various reasons. The reasons include the book having information that highlights how mass use of pesticides harms the environment. Furthermore, the book also discusses on a wide basis on how the activities that human beings practice affect the environment. The book, Silent Springs, is such a worthy reading material that should continually be discussed by all people if they are to know what quantities of pesticides they are to use. They have immense power not merely to poison but to enter into the most vital processes of the body and change them in deadly ways” (Carson 63).

With the influx of different types of pesticides in the market, then it means that the mortality rates will also rise. The rise in the mortality rates will be due to an increase in the number of people who will be poisoned by the pesticides upon coming in contact with them. Also, the disfiguring of the processes of the body from the normal one into deadly ones will also contribute to the increase of mortality rates. Before I read the Silent Springs book, I was only aware that pesticides can act as a poison but little did I know that the pesticides also have the potential of adjusting body processes. Furthermore, the book’s statement that the fate of the pesticides lies with the people is a very important one.
