Asleep “I don’t try to predict the future; I try to prevent it.” Ray Bradbury is an author of many works, of which include The Pedestrian, There Will Come Soft Rains, A Sound of Thunder, and The Veldt. In these texts, there is a theme of a futuristic reality where destruction is to occur which might not be that far off from our own. This is purposeful, Bradbury claims to use his writing as a message to the masses calling them to open their eyes to the direction our world is hurdling towards. These texts deal with warnings of losing touch with the natural world and other humans, devaluing life, an increase in disastrous irresponsibility, and the most prominent being the abuse of technological advancements.
For example, “the population of Dhaka, which was once the great center of cloth production, fell from several hundred thousand in 1760 to about 50,000 by the 1820s (Doc. 5).” Lalvani also asserts that the British “worked to preserve the environment and animals of India.” However, they did the opposite. The British used the Indian land to grow cash crops, such as indigo, cotton, or tobacco, which “totally degraded the farmland and made it unfit for growing other crops (Doc. 7).” This is important because the land that was once farmed for food crops could no longer be used for that purpose, so people had to rely on the

In his book, Population Bomb, he argued “through his life that there is an impending doom containing overpopulation and starvation”(Ehrlich 18). Let the facts show that the world has taken the right path toward sustaining life and sending us towards prosperity. In R. Engelman article “Population and Sustainability: Can We Avoid Limiting the Number of People” Engelman’s key argument was that “slowing the rise in human numbers is essential for the planet--but it doesn't require population control”(Engelman 49). Placing a cap on the population will force consequences as
Paul Pintarich, resentful of people’s superficial interests and critical of a digital society. Rejecting time as an excuse, implores people to read for worldly perseverance. With the cynical tone of a defeatist Pintarich writes, “So what does this have to do with my job as a book reviewer on a daily metropolitan newspaper? Nothing perhaps, because, as our advertising department polls reveal, most of you won’t have read this far anyway.” The hilarious and strongly rhetoric paragraph of a fictitious dialogue between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, both great authors of the so called “lost generation”, represents Pintarich’s contemptuous perspective on the changing times.
