Analyze Carson's piece using one of the rhetorical strategies: "Silent Spring"

Blog: Analyze Carson's piece using one of the rhetorical strategies listed on the worksheet.

Rachel Chris reflects a very important issue at her time. She fully succeeds in supporting her substance. The solid substance has a plethora of evidence and facts to connect them with the main subject. Chris used facts, numbers, and different regions as materials to reveal her knowledge about the subject, which is the DDT.

Using these evidence helps to create concrete examples to appeal logos. For instance, at the beginning of her text she limit he talking only on eagles, and she gave a lot of numbers about the inclining of the number of birds on the western coast of Florida. Then, she presents the same sort of situation in other birds. She also brings the same situation in different places in the word such as Belgium and England. All this evidence is to confirm her rightness toward the DDT and to show that we “Earth Citizens” all have same destiny and connected together.
