    “You should never regret anything in life. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience” (Unknown, n.d.). This quote symbolizes how everything in life can be cherished and turned into an experience. The only way people learn is through experience, which makes life better and wonderful. In Elie Wiesel’s (2006) novel Night and the movie “Life is Beautiful” (2000), there are two completely different perspectives on life in the worst of times. Both the book and the movie show life during the Holocaust and how it has impacted father and son relationships. Each story shows how the fathers and sons are impacted through two different types of experiences spent in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. In the memoir Night and the…

    Rachel Carson wrote the book, Silent Spring, to introduce the issues with pesticides. Carson’s main argument in the chapter, The Obligation to Endure, is that pesticides do not put an end to the insect problems. Pesticides are human’s invention to bring an end to pest issues. However, pesticides not only have limited success, but also worsen the situation. Pesticides kill the insects, but insects grow to be immune to the chemicals. Hence, scientists have to make stronger and more harmful pesticides to deal with the pests. On the other hand, the massively used pesticides spread from crops and insects to animals than to human. Carson also pointed out that humans are the culprits of modern insect problem. Due to the changes on the ecology system…
