Many books have been written about the wilderness and the wilderness experience. Literary works devoted to describing the very nature of the wilderness and living in the wilderness allow readers to experience, through the author’s perspective the challenges and the satisfaction one feels when living off the land.

Following North, Heaney’s next collection of poetry was Field Work which largely documents his four years spent in Glanmore County Wicklow. The significance of this move is that it took him South of the border with the Republic of Ireland, a haven away from the sectarian violence of the North.

Both the film, High Noon, and the story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” share a very similar setting that affects the course of the stories. “Near a landmark of some kind-a tree or an outcropping of a rock-a man on a horseback awaits”(Foreman 288). This quote is trying to demonstrate how the closest object, feature of a landmark or town of Hadleyville is a tree, which goes to show how detached from society the setting of High Noon is. “His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau: it…

In his poetry, Auden uses Time to illustrate his emotions and his feelings about life and his society. According to him, Time represents a mysterious and unquestionable force that pulls humans ever since they are born. But Time remains a concept set up by humans, who still have a minimum of power to change the present and the future. In his poems, Auden often uses Time as a reminder of our human condition : there is an end to life, nothing will last forever. For exemple, in Lay your…

Loneliness and isolation are both factors of depression, ironically with this story in The Great Depression. In John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, set in The Great Depression, George and Lennie get a job at a ranch after previous failed attempts at other jobs due to Lennie’s childlike disorder. They start to get used to their jobs alongside with Crooks, Candy, and Curley and his wife. Lennie’s childlike disorder, however, caused him to accidentally murder Curley’s wife, which ultimately led to…

In “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, a variety of colorful characters are introduced. Lennie, a vital character from the beginning, is George’s childish complement. He’s known for having behavioral issues and being obsessed with the dreams of his rabbits. Candy is the swamper at the ranch they arrive at. He’s older, doesn’t have a right hand, and has a gnarled old dog that he is later forced to give up. He wishes to have his own life where he can choose his fate. Though it seems like Lennie…
