Book Name: As in the Heart, So in the Earth by Pierre Rabhi

The book is organized by beginning with Rabhi going to a place where culture and the village's unity is most important. This helps the auhor employ how important the Earth's soil since what the people grow in their highly depends on what they can grow and having the patience to survive in a village when they can go to the "new world" where technology is nowhere near unavailable. The author uses first person point of view in his fictional tale in which he addresses the importance of soil and the community to emphasize what the modern world has done. What the modern world has done is split the communication with the people and earth.

Book Name: As in the Heart, So in the Earth by Pierre Rabhi

The tone of this writer (to me) is a tone that makes you sense its sincerity about the topic that he is speaking of. This tone suits those who search for a convincing concept and even those who just want to learn something new about the earth we live in. This book is organized by speaking about the author's journey to a society in which technology is rarely seen. I think the book eventually speaks of what the author has learned from these people and the place they live in causing an impact on his life the way he thinks about certain issues. The author manipulates the book by explaining what he goes through and what he feels; causing an impact in how you may think about the situation and be concerned.

Book Name: As in the Heart, So in the Earth by Pierre Rabhi

I think this author's argument is to protect the earth's nature by speaking of when people lived in harmony with the planet and discoursed with the land. When I first analyzed what the author was trying to convey, I was amazed at how well he was able to make me feel how most of the "new world" in which are all a part of, is very ignorant when it comes to seeing how special earth and its components really are what it can to for us and the planet. When reading the story, I felt as if I was being taken back in time where there wasn't any new technology to interfere with communicating well and confidently with one another. As I read what the Rabhi was experiencing, I felt ass if this place he was describing was nonexistent since I have never seen or experienced this myself.

Book Name: As in the Heart, So in the Earth by Pierre Rabhi

Pierre Rabhi has the potential and experience to gain the reader's credibility because this author is not only a very unique writer, but an environmentalist as well and most importantly, a farmer himself. I think that what may bias the author's argument is the fact that there is many views when it comes to speaking about agriculture. Many believe that it is perfectly fine to genetically modify fruits and vegetables (etc.), just as long as they taste good and are not poisonous. Others know better and are against this. They know that these crops are more pesticide rather than the crop itself. This is what Rahbi is trying to convey. Also, that this is not only ruining the crops' origins, but the culture behind the growing crops.
