In the book Silent Spring, the author describes the sudden change of a beautiful village at the beginning of a fable, and tells in detail the great and irreversible harm to the environment caused by the widespread use of pesticides represented by DDT with the unique vivid brushwork of female writers.
From land to sea, from sea to sky, the harm of chemical pesticides is exposed.
Moreover, Carson hit the nail on the head and pointed out that the deep root of environmental problems lies in human arrogance and ignorance of nature. Therefore, she called on people to correct their attitude towards nature and rethink the development path of human society.
