Garrard writes “apocalypticism is inevitably bound up with imagination, because it has yet to come into being (86). Carson writes about a town that “does not actually exist” but “this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know” (3). Carson uses logos many times throughout the Silent Spring excerpt. In Part 2: The Obligation to Endure, many evolutionary and scientific facts are given to the reader in order to display the impacts of mankind on the environment. Carson writes “it took hundreds of millions of years to produce the life that now inhabits the earth” and that “time is the essential ingredient” needed in order to achieve balance on the earth, but “in the modern world there is no time” (6).

Therefore, the earth would be left unprotected for disastrous events. The Maya performed many ceremonies and rituals during these 5 days to ask the gods to return. The Haab calendar was longer than the Tzolk’in, but the Maya created the Calendar Round system by combining the two calendars in order to record even more time. By combining the 260 days and 360 days of the two calendars, the
If an eruption were to occur, a number of life-changing things would happen. Lava flow would burn everything in its path. Ash falls will cause suffocation; killing many. Along with the death of a good amount of people, the ash would block the sun causing us to experience massive climate changes, but not just for us; The whole world would experience it as well. Science is showing that the potential for an eruption of some of the earth’s biggest and deadliest volcanoes is very real and imminent.
Maya has predicted five big events. They are: the end of the Mayan civilization (the end of their own); the time of the emergence of the automobile and aircraft; the time if Big Devil (Hitler)’s birth and death and the time of the devastating wars taking-place (the first and second world wars). The first four have already realized. However, the last one is “The world will come to an end on December 21, 2012”.

How effective were world governments on communicating the disaster? Thirty years later, nuclear power is being used more than ever by mankind, with such an accident present in history are we safe from another meltdown knowing that humans will always commit errors? The direct cause of the accident came from reactor number four of the power plant when it went under several unauthorized tests which led to the explosion of the reactor resulting in a nuclear meltdown and the release of nuclear materials into the atmosphere (Leo.Maryann.De). This was the equivalent of four hundred times more pollution than the bomb of Hiroshima. In the thirty kilometer radius of the plant, a hundred and sixty one thousand people were evacuated due to the twenty five thousand square kilometers being heavily contaminated by nuclear radiation (Discovery Channel).
The brilliant swythyv proposed a few years ago that Nicholas Flamel had ruled as the "invisible king" of the wizarding world for nearly seven centuries. He left the Wizengamot in charge of managing most of its affairs. Dumbledore had so much political power in the WW mostly because he had Flamel's backing. Therefore, Flamel's death would explain why Dumbledore's political star fell so quickly after Harry's first year. So, if we go with her theory, it would seem that Flamel was definitely out of the picture by 1992.

After that she figured out why so many people in Utah, including her family were found with cancer. The author tells the readers what situation took place from January 27, 1951 through July 11, 1962. It was a well known story in the Desert West, “The Day we Bombed Utah,” these were the years that atomic testing happened in Nevada. The author explains how much has been written about “American nuclear tragedy.” “Public health was secondary to national security.” (892) Williams explains how many people tried to make some protests to the United States government telling them to stop nuclear testing, but all these attempts failed. The United States said that the nuclear testing or radiation was not the cause why so many women were getting breast cancer.
Today there are 5 official nations that have the weapon, and these are on the UN security council. There are also a handful of others who also have nuclear weapons.4 The threat and responsibility for nuclear weapons and nuclear war has been spread throughout the world. In May 2002 when our last surviving ANZAC died, World War One finished being a personal ordeal and became history.
