I really enjoyed reading this book, even though I hardly read books like this. This was a lot different because of the way Carson describes the vivid aspects of nature through the rustic American Town. Rachel really informs us about how harmful pesticide is and how it can effect the environment, even though it is to control the insect population. This book was like a public announcement informing us what could happen to our environment if we keep living the way we do. If we want to change this environment needs to be done with extreme caution if we want to avoid damaging the systems that support us, according to Carson. I was really intrigued of how she broke down the certain effect of pesticides and really telling us the truth of how manufactures don’t inform customers of how deadly it is. Carson really tells it how it is and shows no shame in doing so. This book was a big eye opener for me because I had no idea that this stuff is happening.
