Book - Silent Spring
Author - Rachel Carson
Textual evidence -
"This town does not actually exist, but it might easily have a thousand counterparts in America or elsewhere in the world. I know of no community that has experienced all the misfortunes I describe. Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know."
Explanation:
Rachel Carson explains about a town with nature's beauty, where plants, animals, birds and human all lived in harmony. Suddenly due to some evil effects, everything changed. Humans, children died to strange sickness. Birds disappeared, hen did not lay eggs, apple trees bear no fruits, rivers and streams dried, fishes died. A white powder showed on the roofs sprayed by people which caused destruction.
Rachel Carson explains further that the town she describes does not actually exist to make the readers understand the effects of the chemicals and insecticides caused mass destruction due to extensive use causing the nature to perish slowly. She insisted on taking necessary steps to notice the changes before it becomes a dark reality.
what please make your answer clearer i cant understand
One way literature affected history was before the American Civil War. The book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe caused the start of the American Civil War. Slavery wasn't a big deal until Harriet wrote this book. Abraham Lincoln the 16th president, confronted Harriet about the book. He spoke to her about it and he realized that slavery has to be stopped. The south refused. The Civil War started.
Literature can lead up to conflict or hatred between others, It can cause wars, street fights, and arguments. Literature can give people the right or wrong idea. Positive literature puts people on track to the right side of things. Negative literature would throw them off to believe the wrong thing.
An example of literature affecting history is our current presidency. But, we're not gonna go into detail about that. :)
Hopefully i helped!
Answer:
hey. pls complete the question. what is the verse
Is there a story or article where this is used in? If not then I'd say hyperbole. "Ice storm of glass" is heavily exaggerated.
