  2. Silent Spring • Book Summary: The book Silent Spring is about what pesticide does to the environment. It not only looks at an aspect of it being bad for the wildlife, but it looks at the bigger picture that without something we see as insignificant, not even life, itself, can go on. For example, it talks about how there are bees that were killed by pesticide and it wasn’t just the bees that were suffering it said that without them the apple tree’s blossoms could not be pollinated making them fruitless. So, the main reason for this story was to say that pesticide not only kill pests, but it kills larger forms of lifeas well.
