Pond

Walden Ponds is an extravagant documentary from a man named David Henry Thoreau. The book begins as a recollection Thoreau spent two years at the Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. His contrast of nature and machinery paved the way into a mix of birds chirping and railroads screeching. During his time at Walden Ponds, he realized the essence of nature was one of pure subsidy and relaxation. Often stretching his arm out into the lake whenever he went fishing, just to hear the sound and vibrato of the water trickling. The destruction of modern technology, the absence of nature from society, and the passing of seasons all contribute to the wonders Thoreau experienced at Walden Ponds. Thoreau was at his prime during the Industrial Revolution.…

enough to wake me from my sleep. I looked up only to see my RA, Big Kat as we call him, standing in my doorway. Before he spoke to me, he flipped back his long hair out of his face and said “Get your swimsuit on. It is time for the pond run.” Dazed and confused, I stumbled out of bed and somehow found my teal swimsuit. As I was getting ready, knots began to form in my stomach. Mostly due to the fact that what we were about to do involved running. This was a talent I did not possess because of my…

One of my favorite place to go is Gambino’s in Fairhope, Alabama. This little, Italian restaurant on the edge of the bay that has been there since I was a little girl. I always loved getting to dress up in my little, plastic high heels when I was four years old to go to dinner. The car ride to the restaurant is absolutely beautiful with the bay views on one side and the rustic, tiny downtown on the other. I always know we are close to being there when I see the neon light sign with Gambino’s on…

vegetarian and his love for animals made it insanely hard for him to see animals killed as well as having to kill them himself. Being stranded alone at sea was a huge ordeal for Pi, not to mention the ginormous storm that nearly killed him and Richard Parker. The supplies on the lifeboat was intended to last only a few days, therefore, they began to run out of food and could no longer fish due to the lack of energy. Around the end of his journey, Pi washes up among this Carnivores…

One pond can be much more productive than another due to location, organisms present, and balances or imbalances. Productive ponds rely on a variety of different factors that determine the overall productivity of the given ecosystem. The organisms that live in the pond will…

When, in the mid-1800s, Transcendentalism became prominent, so too did the subject of nature. It was believed that nature was a freeing force, a refuge for the human soul. It was in nature, that humans could discover their true selves. Henry David Thoreau in particular believed in the wonders of nature and would isolate himself at Walden Pond for two years of his life. More than a century later, Thomas Merton would pursue the idea of solitude and importance of nature from his hermitage in…

8 - 8 - 17 The Pond in Winter The opening of this chapter introduces another interesting though: that nature asks no questions, while we ask questions about it such as “what-how-when-where?” I have watched numerous debates where both scientific intellectuals and religious figures have spoken, and questions come up such as: “Why are humans on earth?” or “What is the purpose of life?” or “How does the universe regulate itself so perfectly?” After hearing people talking about this and getting…

I want to present two people, Henry David Thoreau and a vegan. Thoreau was an American Romantic who decided to go to the woods to live off the land, so he spent a year at Walden Pond hoeing beans and watching the water to show that anyone can sustain themselves on a small budget and nature while a vegan abstains from consuming any animal products. What do they have in common? Stereotypically, vegans are outspoken and obnoxious, and for some, Thoreau is annoying and irrelevant. Yet they share a…
