The Connection Between Rachel Carson's "A Fable for Tomorrow", Thoreau's "Walden" and Emerson's "Nature"

Time is such an essential concept in today's world, yet the source from which its importance arose has given birth to its misuse. How do we really use this short amount of time that has been provided to us on earth? The modern world has shaped our way of life, which is highly criticized by many thinkers. In her essay "A Fable for Tomorrow", Rachel Carson describes the effects of "man's attempt to control nature" …

…that the time frame we are given on earth is terribly misused. The declarations made by Carson on the future of nature illustrate the consequences of this same pace of life and use of time. If men could truly stop and see the world for the world itself, Carson's warnings would die away. In nature, men would discover that they are apart of something greater then themselves, something which should not be tamed by them.
