Week 2 Chapter One


I really enjoyed reading this chapter I found Rachel Carson so interesting I went on to read more about her on the Internet and hope to read Silent Spring in its entirety. The fact that she was able to take her expertise of Marine Biology and instead of bombarding people with a lot in your face scientific fact she used her book as a story to draw the reader in and then in small increments told those ideas by translating the scientific facts into words that most people could understand.


Another fact in the reading I found amazing was there were others who had done writings on the very same problem and they did not get recognized or in this case listened to, proves to me that it is the way you present your facts that will get the readers attention and get you points across.


In this case she took a very personal view of a problem defined what was the cause and presented solution.
