We’ve got to take cotton quick before the land dies. Then we’ll sell the land. Lots of families in the East would like to own a piece of land.” (Steinbeck, 33) This quote proves that the Joads and other families abused the land. They do not care because the said other families from the east will come and buy the land. “Grandpa killed Indians, Pa killed snakes for the land.” (34) Another Quote that proves Americans acquired the land and did not respect it.

Celina Bongar Mrs. Wenger AP English Language C-10 19 September 2011 Unppeal to Reserve Nature In the passage of Silent Springs, Rachel Carson aims to raise public awareness about the dangers of pesticides with the goal of bringing about safer and more environment-friendly pest-management practices. The first part of the article describes the effects of parathion as an “universal killer”, which not only educated the annoying birds but also unintentionally affected other forms of wildlife. The immediate effects of the chemicals were devastating as well as their long term effects on the farmers who were exposed to these pesticides. The author provided the readers with examples of incidents that occurred in Indiana and California
Underwood simply figured it was a sin to kill cripples, be they standing, sitting, or escaping. He likened Tom’s death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children…” (241). Tom’s comparison to a song or mockingbird was best conveyed in the novel by the previous quote, which refers back to Atticus’s earlier quote. Atticus’s quote is best clarified by Miss Maudie, who states that mockingbirds not only have no detriment to people, that they create music for people (a benefit). Tom Robinson died a mockingbird because not only did he not
Carson also uses evocative language when she refers to the use of the parathion to kill birds as a war waged on these birds (Lines 45-46). This expression is used to open the reader’s eyes to the fact that the parathion is no longer being used as a preventative measure, but is rather used to attack bird populations. War is a concept that most people are averse to, and do not want, contributing to Carson’s attempt to denounce the use of it. Through the use of this metaphor ad word choice, Carson is able to convince people not to use it as well.

An example of this is when Romero states, “… I go about the country listening to the cries of the people, their pain from much violence” (Romero). This example shows and tells us that the unnecessary violence will not make the endless suffering stop. Romero uses the form of appeal of anecdotes, which are pathos, in order to appeal to the feeling and emotion of the people. Another example of this is when he says, “In La Laguna, the attackers killed a married couple… their little children…and 11 more peasants” (Romero).this example shows that they are not only killing innocent citizens, they are also killing children and families. Romero uses anecdotes to describe the scenes he lived through to help the listener understand that life in El Salvador has gotten very difficult to handle.
The Mockingbirds of Maycomb In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, a resident of Maycomb referred to as Ms. Maudie made the statement that killing a mockingbird is wrong because “ ‘mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy…that’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird’ ” (90). Most simply put, Ms. Maudie is saying that it is wrong to kill an innocent creature that cannot protect itself, yet alone harm others. This statement found itself as the theme of the overall novel and moreover as a lesson to society as a whole. The characters in the novel that personify this so called “mockingbird” would Tom Robinson, an African-American man wrongly accused of rape, and Arthur “Boo” Radley, a grown man who was shunned by society and then locked within his own home upon his father’s wishes. Both of these static characters possess innocence in terms of wrongdoings and have only performed helpful deeds for those they came into contact with.
