Spring

Rachel Carson had many great reasons for writing the book Silent Spring. The main theme of the book was to prove the effects of the careless spraying and dusting of people, crops, fields, and forests with harmful chemicals in the mid 1900s. This book was published in 1962, so a lot of the “new” advancements and findings are outdated as of 2015, however this book marks the important history of what happened when humans interfered with nature by using chemicals, and how that affected the…

Everybody can like their spring break, but I didn’t like my break. Because all I did was go to band practice, and say goodbye to my mom. Spring Break should be about resting from school. For example, the day after we got out of school, I started to have practice. Practice was four hours long, and the teacher didn’t feed us, Consequences, is that we didn’t have enough energy to play correctly. Not having enough energy affected our music, and we didn’t play the correct rhythms. As a result,…

because it can be neat and messy at the same time. Abstract art dates all the way back to the Renaissance and up to the middle of the 19th century. ‘’Air View of a Spring Nursery’’ by Alma Thomas makes me feel like a kid all over again, its colors pop off the canvas and makes me question the meaning of the piece. ‘’Air View of Spring Nursery’’ was painted in 1966 by Alma Thomas, she was born in Columbus, Georgia, and died in Washington, D.C. Alma Thomas developed her signature style—large,…

their own identity they must choose to the best way to express their feelings through art. Sometimes finding your own way can be dangerous and scary, but getting past those feelings can be rewarding. Breaking from the norm was exactly what the Rite of Spring and Les Demoiselles d’Avignon did. Ground breaking can be controversial and dangerous when it is perceived as disrespectful and degrading. I will show how these two pieces of work from Igor Stravinsky and Picasso did just that all the while…

A Place to go Over Spring Break If I were to go anywhere for spring break I would go to the place where I am actually going! I’m going to New York, in the Pocono Mountains where GWL (Great Wolf Lodge) is located. GWL is an indoor water park that has so many things you can do. It’s not just an indoor water park, it’s much, much, more. There is an Ice Cream shop, miniature bowling, miniature golf, a pizzeria, an all-you-can-eat buffet, an arcade, a 3D movie theater, and something called Magiquest.…

The book I will be reviewing is called ‘Silent Spring’ by Rachel Carson discussing the use of pesticides and why it’s so bad for not only plants but us too. Carson’s main goal is to tell us of the hidden dangers pesticides have on our ecosystem. Carson her main argument is that pesticides are way to lethal to be used and provides examples of how the use of pesticides can easily get out of hand and harm all living organisms. In the beginning of her book, Carson describes a town in the heart of…

to expose these hidden downsides. Two of the most prominent of these novels were “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair, a melancholy and empathetic commentary on the meat-packing industry, and the lives of those who were forced to work in it, and “Silent Springs” by Rachel Carson, which sought to expose the harmful nature of insecticides. Both of these writings utilize elements of speech such as ethos, pathos, and logos to convince their audience of the issues presented by these new aspects of society.…
