    The Colombian Exchange impacted both the Americas and Europe in various ways that are still apparent hundreds of years later. “America Before Columbus” provides a closer look at the events and people who shaped the American landscape.

    While the reading passage enumerates the three types of damage often cited by the critics of the "Let It Burn Policy," the professor in the lecture effectively refutes the validity of each of these arguments by redirecting attention to the long term benefits that resulted from the recovery process. The first serious damage cited by the critics is the loss of vegetation. There was significant loss of trees and other vegetation in the park as some one-third of Yellowstone national park was engulfed by the fire. It would have been understandably shocking for people to witness the charred remains of trees and ashes left on the landscape. The professor, however, points out that vegetation did, indeed, return to the area, and more significantly, new forms of botanical…

    Pre-Columbian Period Pre-Columbian Colombia, was host to a broad range of indigenous peoples, with a population size ranging from 850,000 to four million – according to historian estimates. Additionally, these indigenous populations had varying levels of civilization: on one end of the spectrum, there existed hunter-gatherer groups living in the tropical rain forest, and on the other advanced groups such as the Tairona and Muisca, living at high altitudes. In between, there were several organized indigenous groups called chiefdoms, that were frequently at war with each other and supposedly practiced cannibalism. The Tairona, one of the two more advanced civilized groups, inhabited the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and had complex societies, with chiefdom hierarchies, stone road systems, advanced agricultural (composed of irrigational and terrace systems), well established trading systems, and artifact production.…

    Shepherd Krech argues that the Indian’s practices lacked scientific reasoning and their methods of wildland management were based merely on necessity and inner beliefs rather than an aim towards conservation ideals. Additionally, based on empirical evidence of ecosystem degradation, he questions the value of fire as a management tool and undermines the Native Americans’ ecological impact on the ecosystem. On the other hand, Kat Anderson argues that Indians cared about the land rather than managing it. They worked together with nature by utilizing sustainable harvesting and gathering strategies along with the use of fire for subsistence to create a cycle that allowed for landscape use and its regeneration. Although Indians did not have scientific understanding of ecosystem dynamics nor previous experience on landscape management practices, I still find Kat Anderson’s argument…

    The symbolism of fire can represent knowledge, awareness, rebirth, and destruction. The use of fire was first questioned when Guy Montag first met Clarisse McClellen and she brought up a new thought for what the purpose of fire could be used for; "Is it true that long ago firemen put fires out instead of going to start them?"(8). Guy Montag could only help but laugh thinking to himself how silly that idea could be but later questioning the possibility because all he knew was fire was meant for the destruction of books but couldn 't think of…
