Do you find the argument Rachel Carson presents in Chapter II of Silent Spring persuasive? Use what you have learned about how authors develop arguments to write a one-paragraph evaluation of Carson’s argument. Keep in mind tools you have gathered for analysis, such as the Toulmin Model and your understanding of rhetorical strategies and elements.

Answer:

Rachel Carson presents a convincing argument. She uses facts, examples, and expert opinions to appeal to logos to support her claim that pesticides are extremely destructive and only partially effective. She organizes her argument logically, establishing the dangers of pesticides and, then, examining the misuse of these chemicals. As she approaches the end of the argument, she appeals to pathos by using loaded language and vivid imagery. She clearly outlines her contentions and puts forth the call to action: the public needs to inform themselves in order to make a decision about how to proceed.

Read the poem by Jamaal May



The boy decides soldiers can no longer be dead,

so he begins to dig.



Graves are shallow enough that, using only his hands,

he quickly finds a limb



buried without a corpse. He brushes dirt away,

slides the arm into a pocket of overalls.



Until all soldiers are found and placed

in seperate ziplock bags,



his fingers rake soil,

churn the dark earth. His brother



finds him afterwards filling a sink to rinse

the crevices and metal joints, worried



he bathes the plastic infantry too carefully.

As if they had families, As if they were men

authentic record containing it.

Which word is closest in meaning to the word "authentic"?

My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.

Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.

For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.
