Q#2 : What specific details stay in your mind? Why? How do these small details lead to larger ideas?
Steingraber establishes her agenda early in this piece. She exposes the truth of bioaccumulation and the unfortunate end recipients of this chemical buildup, children. Specific details she uses to support her claim include examples of technology development and how these developments often lead to disaster, years later. She also includes details of her environment, proving that the scary truth of hidden chemicals are not visible on the surface until it is to late. These small details lead to larger ideas as she wraps up the piece with a stirring notion. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and everything we put into our earth eventually comes back to destroy our future.
