Analysis Essay “There is a growing trend toward aerial applications of such deathly poisons as parathion to “control” concentrations of birds distasteful to farmers.” As it is mentioned in the passage “Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson farmers are killing animals by poisoning the areas in which they live.

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 dehumanization of another group allows unthinkable crimes to be committed; neither party is benefited by this separation. The Rational Optimist explains the gains of working together while, The Grapes of Wrath and District 9 show us that the dehumanization of others only hinders progress and hurts those involved.

However, the context inevitably shapes the values of the composer and is reflected in the way those values are presented to us. From examining 'Frankenstein' it is certainly true that Shelley has established "a deeper understanding of disruption and identity". 'Disruption' is symbolically portrayed through humankind’s relationship with nature and is exemplified through the disruption of natural order while 'identity' refers to the characteristics of humanity itself that become blurred in the text. Established in a time of great scientific advancement, ‘Frankenstein’ encapsulates the thirst for human advancement through science and the unchecked nature of these attempts through the disastrous effects of creating life. In essence, Shelley is indicating to the readers that challenging God and unchecked scientific progression brings disaster and hardship.
Carson postulates: “Man can hardly recognize the devils of his own creation” (Carson 800), and thus is not honestly examining the long term effect of environmental change. In the excitement to control insects, chemical companies have caused small towns and farming communities to become guinea pigs for experiments involving pesticides. “The Flight of Rachel Carson” continues the theme of chemical effects upon birds of prey by opening with Geoffrey Norman’s observations concerning the disappearance of osprey, bald eagles, and brown pelicans. He develops an analogy of their plight to the life and struggle of Rachel Carson to stop the use of DDT. Just as the birds struggled against a hostile environment, Carson combated angry chemical industrialists and governmental agencies whose philosophies and purposes collided with her own.
There is a saying, “Money is the root of all evil.” This is true if the money is obtained through ill-gotten ways. What happened to Tom Walker is symbolic of what can happen to any human consumed by greed. He or she will lose their soul to the obsession.

Money and material things do not truly satisfy a person's life or make a person happy.
They were evil and so were their motives. Their behaviour in recent times was disgusting and although this judgement of the heavens that makes us tremble, touches us not with pity. It was ironic in the end that they turned out to be the cause of each other’s death. All I ever wanted to do was bring peace to a divided kingdom and try to make the best out of the situation my family created. How far the eyes may pierce I cannot tell.
The short story,’ The Lottery" is written by Shirley Jackson. The story brings out the barbaric ritual of stoning to death of innocent women by way of lottery.
