Wolves by Jean Baptiste Oudry, man is fighting nature. The conquest of wilderness was man’s greatest concern and they believed that civilizing the new world meant illuminating darkness, organizing chaos, and transforming evil into good. They constantly referred to the wilderness in military terms describing it as “an enemy which had to be conquered, subdued, and vanquished by a pioneer army” (Nash 101). It became essential to gain control over nature. Even though biblical stories do not define…

may be music to one’s ears, and the smell of nature may allow the feeling of relaxation to take over one’s body. With the sounds, smells, and sights of nature all around, in the moment of letting nature settle into the mind, everything in the world may become at peace. When a relationship is opened up with nature, one could open up a better relationship with themselves, and expand their mind. Wordsworth and Muir both express their relationship with nature through visualization techniques,…

Nature can change the way you think of life. Walden and Call of the Wild are both about nature. Both books explore journeys into wilderness and what you can find. Walden shows how you can find what is important in live, and Call of the Wild shows how you can find your true self. Henry David Thoreau is unlike the characters in Call of the Wild in their self reliance, their view of possessions, and their reasons for going to the wilderness. Henry David Thoreau believes that isolation is the best…

In today’s time, society has branded any part of the globe that is not part of civilization to be part of the “wilderness.” From mainstream media, to the use of the wilderness in books, it has been described as “barren wastelands” or even “dangerous forests.” As a result, the wilderness is mostly associated with trees, forests, or even open landscapes where various species of animals and plants build their habitats. While some of these descriptive factors may not be true, the wilderness is…

The beauty of nature appears almost everywhere, but sometimes people miss it.

to express the embodied consciousness of nature inside of the human. Despite the fact that there is always an invisible boundary between human and nature, we often view ourselves apart from nature. Yet as humans, we sometimes unconsciously adapt with the environment around us, and the sense of adaptation inverts into an interaction with our surrounding (nature). Through this interaction, we will discover that as human we are already natural and part of nature. Eventually, we will come to a…

He claims that the entire strength of the argument that Paley proposes is based on the strength of his analogy from man-made complex objects to the complexity and purpose of occurrences within nature. It is a large jump to assume that just because we deem a watch as a complex set of parts that work together for a common goal and has a designer, and the universe is similar regarding having parts that work together, that it must have a designer…

power of nature is awe-inspiring. As seasons switch, leaves change, wind blows, and temperature slowly drops. Mountain ranges that stretch for miles upon miles seem infinite in comparison to the cities and towns built around them. Oceans, which hold countless gallons of water, ebb and flow in the tide.
