A Fable for Tomorrow
From Silent Spring
Rachel Carson
This text talks about a town
that use to be a very nice place. Lots of things go on here and everyone is
happy. There are animals and farms were prosperous. The story is how this happy
place all of a suddenly starts spiraling down. The birds no longer chirp
because they are all dead, farmers can no longer raise their animals because
they die soon after they are born, there are no bees to pollinate fruit trees
and once roadsides lined with vegetation are now lined with dead withered
plants. Her main point of telling this short story is to show how this can
start happening and there have been cases of it. She says “I know of no
community that has experienced all the misfortune I describe.” That being that
although these things don’t all happen in one place at one time, they have
happened in deferent places all over the world and especially out country.
There are places were the animals and plants are so unhealthy they start dying
and there are places were fruit and vegetation is harder to grow due to a bad
environment. She is also saying that when it is just one aspect we don’t notice
because we don’t think it directly affects us, but if we were to live in the
town she speaks of I think all of a sudden people would start to change.
