Jessica Rodriguez: Reaction to "A Fable for Tomorrow" by Rachel Carson(Blog # 14)

In A Fable for Tomorrow, our Earth is pictured as a place that once held the beauty of nature and as days go by; this beauty alters into as an epidemic that no one could escape. After scrutinizing through this essay, I was made to believe that the reason as to why nature itself is diminishing in its beauty and life is because we humans are the cause of these unfortunate events. The author begins by contemplating on the past where beauty was all a person could see in nature. "Great ferns and wildflowers delighted the traveler's eye through much of the year", however, with much facilitation due to the usage of technology and our new ways of preventing the preservation of our green Earth, such "ferns" and "wildflowers" cease reproducing due to harmful chemicals that people use inflicting harm on nature.
