Compare Traveling To North America Essay

It’s the same routine over and over. Traveling constantly, shining a light everywhere

I go for everyone to see. They go on their happy way while I do the same thing over

and over, day after day. But it is what I am meant to do, travel around the world and

see countless places and people with endless possibilities. I have so much space

around me to move and a perfect view of the world that keeps growing every

second. Around and around, seeing the same things that end up changing.

First my day starts above the Pacific Ocean, the world’s largest ocean basin

with miles and miles of water going in every direction. As I travel East, I come across

North America; it contains Canada and my favorite country, America. What a

stunning sight it is to see, over 300 million

Although I witness endless interactions allover the world, I always look

forward to enjoying vast and amazingly undisturbed landscapes as I travel past

Africa.

I’m halfway around the world, just North of Africa I see Europe. Stunningly

scenic and with over 50 countries I relish the landmarks that many people travel

thousands of miles to witness. From the delicate ruins of Greece, to the Eiffel tower

of Paris, the cobblestone streets of Italy and the intricate architecture all over

England. I see so many beautiful landmarks all over Europe and envy the people

who have the opportunities to visit them, see the culture up close and be apart of the

lifestyle; so many people get to learn the stories behind how the world and all that

inhabits it came to be as it is, meanwhile I remain curious. But I remind myself to

appreciate the things I can do; I can watch, I may not know how things came to be

but I observe it as it happens. As I provide light to everything, its easy for me to

forget that without light I wouldn’t be able to see all the things I see everyday and it

all could be much different if I

    Do you ever wonder why things turn out the way they do: why the colors of the leaves change when the season turns from summer to fall, or why someone can be treated so awfully, yet still continue to love that person with all their heart ? “The sense of wonder speaks of our hunger to be moved, to be engaged and impassioned with the world and take pleasure in it, attuned to it and fascinated by it” (7 Ways to Spark Your Sense of Wonder).

    I don't think I'll ever forget myself as I was just then; my legs sprawled up on the picnic table and back arched to try and conform to the rigid wooden chair that would never be comfortable. My eyes were shut, and my sigh was soft. My chest hurt, but not in a broken-hearted kind of way. It was actually physical, but I tried to ignore it. I felt like crying for no reason, but I didn't.…

    The beauty of the world and the universe is something that is hard to grasp for most people because of the magnitude of how riveting the beauty is. “In the Forest of Gombe” an essay written by Jane Goodall, describes how she was experiencing many different types of beauty from within the forest. The essay describes how we as humans look through many different lenses while we are searching for the meaning of the world.

    In the article, "In Praise of Margins" by Ian Frazier, he states how "marginal people or places or activities are the ones that don't quite work out"(Frazier 7). On the other hand, however, Frazier also claims that "marginal places are the blue­sky research zones of the outdoors"(Frazier 7). By having marginal places to go to, one can have a place to escape from the real world to do activities that do not really account for any economical values. Simply doing activities like throwing rocks, shooting frogs, making forts, and climbing trees seem to have no purpose whatsoever to most people, but to Frazier these activities were valuable. These activities were valuable to Frazier because he did not have to feel the pressure of society to actually have…
