Carson reading

For Sept. 29, typed, double-spaced, printed out:

Read the additional material from Rachel Carson.

1. Note her metaphors, similes, and choice of adjectives. What words and phrases especially stand out? Why does she use these particular words and phrases? How would you describe her tone?

2. How does Chapter 2 differ from Chapter 1 (which is in your book)? Although I gave you only a portion of Chapter 3, how does it appear to differ in content from the previous chapters?

3. What does Carson mean by "the obligation to endure"?

4. What obligations do you have?
