What Can I Do With My Dream? |

Pursuing English Literature has always been my dream. I knew I was in love with stories at the age of 8, when I first read Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory just within 4 hours! I always knew that one day, I would too want young readers like myself to broaden their abodes of imagination through tales woven by me.
I came across several reports where the power of science and engineering towards the development of a sustainable environment were emphasized. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the members' ambitions in line with their major. My purpose here, is to talk about the power of the written word and how literature can also be an effective tool in molding minds. My dream is to grow up to become a successful writer and environmental activist and advocate issues through my poems and stories for kids. I belief that a seed only grows into a beautiful flower when taken care of right from the roots. In the same way, citizens will grow up to be dedicated towards working for the environment only when brought face to face with today's environmental issues at a young age. I want to publish impactful works that will work deep into people's minds and motivate them to use their own abilities to make a change. Some of the works that have fulfilled the same are mentioned below- 1) Aldo Leopold?s "A Sandy County Almanac" manages to unintentionally replicate nature itself. It?s a series of essays that are superficially unconnected, but together they function like the web of life. Leopold showed a midcentury audience that conservation is essentially our success or failure at getting along with the natural world. 2) Silent Spring (1962) — loved both for its craft and its impact in ing Americans to the dangers of heedless pesticide uses, this landmark book and its author, Rachel Carson, are the subject of On a Farther Shore by Minnesota?s William Souder, published last September on Silent Spring?s 50th anniversary. 3) The End of Nature (1989) — still perhaps Bill McKibben?s most powerful and accessible work on how greenhouse gases are remaking the world. And while we?re on McKibben, a survey of classic American environmental writing that he edited for the Library of America came out in 2008 under the title American Earth. |
