In Cold Blood Camp was very fun. But I just love reptiles. So when we did in cold blood I was in heaven. At in cold blood, we got to hold and pet these awesome animals. I learned so much about these animals. In fact, reptiles are one of the oldest species on the planet. I was so happy about it. I could barely keep my feet on the ground. I Love reptiles.

As a protector of nature and a relevant character on the history of this nation, Jimmy Carter decided to built an argument in order to persuade his audience that the Arctic National Wildlife Refugee should remain as itself, and not be used as another human tool in order to satisfy his ephemeral ambitions. The ex-president manages personal experiences as well as a great development of his ideas. Also, his persuasive written style is remarkable, which appeals to emotions without using an esoteric…

everyday realities and the underlying forces in nature. Through these two authors and the stories “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” and “The Blue Hotel,” we analyze the properties and representations of naturalistic writing and natural literary elements. Naturalism exists within each short story through a specific account of themes that comprise the literary style: the distinction of natural elements and their roles, the collaboration between man and nature by likeness, and the inevitable…

that the history that he discussed should be labeled as a history that shows the interdependent relationship between Chicago and the country. Cronon stated what nature was and how there were two types of natures, first nature, and second nature; first nature being “prehuman” and second nature was cities that were built on the first nature.

Nature is indifferent as well as uncaring. In the short story “The Open Boat” by Stephen Crane, we embark on the journey of four men, whose ship has crashed and are now adrift. They fight for survival throughout the whole story, trying to withstand nature. At the beginning of the story, they believe that nature will actually care for them, or at least an unnatural force will come and save them. They even begin to question the existence of God. In the end, they understand that nature does not…

“Natural” versus “Nature” Does natural still mean the same thing in America today? Caitlin Doughty, author of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, struggles with the idea of what is truly natural in present American society, because the word natural had been tarnished. Doughty takes us through her experiences as a crematory operator at Westwind Cremation & Burial. A topic woven throughout the text is the idea of “natural” versus “nature.” Doughty argues that our culture’s false use of the term natural, a…

horses for most of my childhood, and at one point, I even owned my own horse. I trained this horse, making us inseparable. Most weekends, I rode bright and early into the mountains, without returning until near dark. Being in the complete solitude of nature with my horse became a favorite pastime for me. Yet now, after moving and leaving my companion behind, I rarely experience that isolation and peace. However, despite feeling so secluded in the mountains, I remained surrounded by traces of…

In the wild outback of Peru during the 15th century of the Indian, lives Wildflower, a half-breed wolf who had a sense of pride and lived without a care in the world, only doing the right thing when it’s necessary. He is the son of Black Wolf, leader of the Sindarin tribe who had fur as dark as the night died tragically before Wildflower was born under mysterious circumstances and his mother Mahi, whose fur was white as the son raised her son all could before she died. As an adult, Wildflower…

Since that time, nature has often been mythologized on screen to such a degree that it is ascribed its own personality and motivations, and is alternately portrayed as a benevolent savior, as well as an antagonist of sorts. Nature is at once our protector and our tormentor, providing the sustenance we require to live, while at the same time assaulting us with powerful storms and virulent…
