Mother Nature

I enjoy all of my A-level subjects, and I want to continue with as many as possible, so I am applying for Natural Sciences. I am eager to study in more depth the areas that I have found interesting, as well as to explore new topics. For me, Human Biology currently stands out as the most exciting field, as I can see at first hand its applications and effects, and constant developments mean there is always something new to learn. It is this dynamic side of science which I want to be involved in.…

The themes of alienation and isolation complement and essentially go hand-in-hand with the role nature serves in Ernest Hemingway’s In Our Time, and more specifically in the realm of the short story “Big Two-Hearted River.” In several of the short stories concerning him, Nick Adams constantly retreats to nature to find a quiet place of reflection and self-examination, most commonly expressed in the act of fishing; these moments of isolation are those in which Hemingway pays great attention in…

Tanner M. Acquisto Professor C. Bartlett ENGL-203-504 12 October 2015 Moral Abandonment in Nature Tobais Wolff’s “Hunters in the Snow”, is a bleak story of three friends on a routine hunting trip in Spokane, Washington. Richardson and Lock’s ideas on enfreakment as “part of the collective norm" and the medical model of disability play a significant role in how the men treat each other as Wolff characterizes a trio of selfishly driven “friends” who really only care about their own well-being (R&L…

There is an infinite amount of ways to portray something through forms of art. Writing for example, is an extremely expressive way to put things into words. In both The Lorax, and ”Mirror of our Fate”, the same ideas of environmental issues are brought up. However, the writing styles vary. Writing is amazing due to the articulation which can be perceived through just about anything, in this case a children’s book, and an article by a professor of science. The standing cause of the issues in…

in many cases. Manifesting in the ‘right’ way to use resources preserves “stability, and beauty of the biotic community” (Leopold, 17). As ecology was a topic avoided in education, one can infer that the common attitudes of and thinking about the nature in Leopold’s era were uncertain. As a result from the scarce teaching and false labels of so called ‘academic’ ecological…

Adstringo (The binding) Through what is known of the life and its callings humans are bound in a continuous root. In knowing this, those who roamed the Earth knew to never let it consume them. In the highest of peaks sat a man. With folding skin that seemed to droop slowly down, and a face that spoke for his intelligence, for he had lived long past his prime and seen all that needed to be explained of this world. From his mouth, held a strange pipe of some sorts, through it a strange…

A hippo isn’t just a huge water mammal that lives in Africa, it’s also Greek for horse. Horses in the wild live in herds, but nowadays they rely on humans for their survival; this can change some of their characteristics. Horses have many different breeds, but they can have many different health problems. When horses live in the wild they live in large groups called herds for survival; but now the depend on people for their care (Emery, 2015). Horses need to be kept clean; such as their bodies…

Nature is a symbol of life all together. Storms symbolizes our bad days. Sunshine symbolizes our good days. Nature has its disasters and beauty, it has its good times and bad times, and it has its ups and downs, just as people do. There is a spiritual connection to God in nature not only in its beauty but in its creation too, because God created the heavens and the earth. But not all people feel that spiritual connection to God in nature, some people feel that connection in church, in their room…
