Morning Star Wings
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” The explorer stopped in his tracks as he looked over towards where the voice had come from. Sitting just a little off the path, or more of the slightly beaten down foliage that he was walking on, was an elderly woman.

    Emma Marris presents us with a new way of viewing nature in the first chapter of her book, “Rambunctious Garden”. She explains that the definition of nature depicted in our “glossy magazines” describing a place “somewhere distant, wild and free” is incorrect, as it “blinds us” from the truth (Marris 1). Marris argues that we must adjust this definition to also include the nature found in “the bees whizzing down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan” and “the butterfly bushes that grow alongside the urban river” as well as the nature found in “managed national parks” (Marris 2). She uses experiences gained during her time spent in the forests of Hawaii and in Australia’s Scotia Sanctuary as evidence to support her argument. Marris also makes the point…

    H. G. Wells is a visionary of his time, and even though his works are considered science fiction you can find within his writings how he addresses his fears for society. Wells expresses his thoughts while living in England at the end of the Victorian age, a time that has eagerly engaged in the industrial revolution, seen an increased population, followed a royal prince who leads the stories in the tabloids and was exposed to the published writings of his peers like Max Nordan, Degeneration.
