Bumblebee, Body Of The Snake Summary

Improved Essays
Heart of the Bumblebee, Body of the Snake The first settlers of this planet were filled with pride. Like a bumblebee, they searched for new ideas. At first so pure, humans would work from sun up to sun down. These men would have never imagined a world so selfish for it’s needs and desires. A world so enriched in their own desires that they would forget about all of the loved ones who worked together to create such a fine soul. These men created an unending cycle of thankfulness towards the Earth and the recourses it naturally provides. But like all good things, man forgot about the plentifulness of Earth’s offerings. Like a snake taking its legs for granted, the humans of today forget all that the Earth has to offer. Greed controls man into taking …show more content…
Snakes begin to take over the earth like the sun arising on a new day. They seek for something more. Snakes feed off of the bumblebee. Luring them into their ways, trying to get them to feed from the apple. One by one, each bumblebee slowly becomes a snake. God hath condemned any bumblebee who were to take from what was not theirs, by taking what isn’t his. Once God sees a bumblebee converting its ways to that of a snake he unleashes his anger. First God captures the bumblebee and imprisons him. He then the bumblebee undergoes miseries that were unimaginably miserable that many would consider horrible witchcraft. As the bumblebee takes and takes from the Earth; God plucks, bites, tears, and cuts each and every limb and wing the bumblebee possesses. Once the bumblebee begins to crawl around, searching for other bumblebees to take from, God stretches the bee into inconceivable lengths.

    In the book of Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, we discover that humans feel as though they were created to conquer and rule the world and every species in it.

    Humans, as they are today, have existed for a mere 50,000 years, while the Earth is around 4.54 billion years old. Why, then, have humans disregarded the planet they live on and have chosen to send it to ruin by means of pollution, climate change, and mining deep below the surface? Because of mankind’s actions of destruction, the Earth has awakened from a tranquil slumber and sought restitution towards humanity for disturbing its once-peaceful state. In Auscultation, Steven Church is presenting the idea that, unbeknownst to most, Earth’s human inhabitants are what animate the prodigious planet and drive it to take on a life of its own. By conveying the tales of miners being held prisoner by Earth due to cataclysmic drilling accidents, Church is drawing parallels between humans and…

    In the reading, “The Environmental Issue from Hell” the author portrays some of the dangers of global warming, such as how it affects the polar bears in the Arctic, how SUV’s are a big part of the problem and how we can influence change to people by switching to solar power and possibly change the politics that affect global warming greatly.

    One of the emerging values recognized by human beings is the concern for our environments and the living creatures that we share them with, but what would happen if human beings stopped caring for their planet and completely disregarded any other living creature outside of the human race? Expert biologist, Jeff Corwin, discusses this idea in his article “The Sixth Extinction,” published by the Los Angeles Times. He argues in his article that while there have been preventative programs put into place, human beings are actively destroying our planet and slowly killing off hundreds of species with every deforestation project, landfill, and black-market trade. For his article, Corwin uses real life experiences to strengthen his credibility. In addition to his easy-to-understand writing style, Corwin also pulls his audience into the root of his essay by providing shocking facts that give readers an insight as to what could happen if they continue to disregard their planet and the other living species that reside there.…

    Lorax Pros And Cons

    • 865 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Humans tend to take their resources for advantage and use them only to the benefit of themselves; which more times than not, leads to the depletion or extinction of said resource. Dr.Seuss’ The Lorax is a great fictional example of this issue. A non-fictional example would be Easter Island. In both cases, humans have completely exhausted at least one resource becausethey’ve used it to benefit their own lives. These resources have been used up solely because humans are only in it for themselves, they are either oblivious to what they’re doing or they refuse to believe it’s harmful, and if humans do realize that what they’re doing is harmful, the only solution requires them to sacrifice something important to them; which is unlikely to happen given the…

    The reading for this week comes from William Cronon’s book Uncommon Ground. Throughout the passage, Cronon argues that our modern view of wilderness is paradoxically flawed, but due to the historical effects of the sublime and the frontier that emerged at the end of the 19th century, the adoration of wilderness has become ingrained in our culture. These ideologies have imprinted man-made moral values and cultural symbols on wilderness. Cronon asserts that this romanticism of nature currently underpins actual environmental concerns. He concludes reading stating that a middle ground where humanity and nature intersect must be found in order to create a better world.…

    Epicureanism’s view that life is merely to enjoy pleasures, runs contradictory to my views of the purpose of life. Taking what life has to offer, without giving anything in return, seems counter intuitive to human nature. The purpose of life is to contribute in such a way as to make this world a better place, improve one’s moral goodness, and help others along the way. To begin, to live one’s life purely with selfish motives in mind, is to take without giving back, using up all the earth’s resources without replenishing them. Can you imagine the results of our planet had our predecessors consumed everything in their path without a thought of future generations?…
