Answer:

One main difference between Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and Winona LaDuke's "A Case for Waawaatesi" is that Silent Spring is a scientific warning about the effects of pesticides on the whole environment, while "A Case for Waawaatesi" is an emotional appeal to protect a specific part of the environment from energy development.
