A Fable for Tomorrow

“A Fable for Tomorrow”, by Rachel Carson was a story that brought many controversial topics among people. In her essay, Rachel describes a perfect American town that seems to be at peace. In this town everything is in harmony and everything is prosperous. The story mentions that after some time everything changes. An evil spirit had overcome the town and horrible things were happening. Rachel ends her essay by saying that all the catastrophes that she had mentioned had not happened in that city, but that it was a combination of disasters that were occurring in different cities all over the world. This essay can be related to the world we live in today, and how we live in it. We are responsible for awful events that have happened in the world. We are the cause for millions of deaths due to illnesses. Thousand of people die daily due to the fact that they have nothing to eat. In a way we are causing this beautiful and prosperous world we live in to disintegrate. We should all try to keep our world in peace like that perfect town that Rachel Carson describes in her essay.
