  • Symbolism In Fahrenheit 451

    506 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, there are many themes, symbols, and motifs that are found throughout the novel. For my journal response, I have chosen to discuss nature as a prevalent symbol in the book. The main character, Montag, lives in a society where technology is overwhelmingly popular, and nature is regarded as an unpredictable variable that should be avoided. Technology is used to repress the citizens, but the oppression is disguised as entertainment, like the TV parlour. On the opposite end of the spectrum, nature is viewed as boring and dull, but it is a way to escape the brainwashing that technology brings. People who enjoy nature are deemed insane and are forced to go into therapy. Clarisse says “My psychiatrist wants to know why I go out and hike around in the forests and watch the birds and collect butterflies,” (Bradbury 23) which shows she is a threat to the control that the government has put upon the people by enjoying nature.

It seems as though he believes that people who are unwilling to enjoy nature as is don’t deserve to experience it at all. He’s indirectly conveying the idea that humans who destroy nature are destroying themselves, as nature is only a mechanism that aids the society. In Desert Solitaire Abbey reminds the audience, of any age and year of the significance of the wild, enlightening and cautioning the human population into consciousness and liability through the use of isolation as material to ponder upon and presenting judgments to aid sheltering of the nature he

  • Barry Lopez's Essay A Literature Of Place

    587 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the essay, A Literature of Place, Barry Lopez discusses the topic of the influence of nature. Lopez believes that “nature is critical to the development of a sense of morality and human identity.” A sunny day typically has a positive set off for your day, but it does much more than what you may be aware of. Lopez stated that the geography of your surroundings can influence many different aspects of your life, such as your imagination. By being aware of your surroundings and taking in everything that is around you, he describes how you will create a special relationship with the nature that you're surrounded by. And through that relationship you will feel a sense of belonging instead of feeling unwanted. A sense of belonging can get you

    We all live among the beauties of nature and beauties of nature live in us. The flowers, trees, and bushes present itself with a soft beautiful light at the turn of dawn and birds sing as the sunrise opens up another beginning to our lives. As presented, both the animate and inanimate objects of nature offer new scenes like a film on the screen. Nature is, thus, an integral part of our lives and its beauty is indeed the greatest gifts of God to mankind. But even while we appreciate the blessings nature allotted us, we forget that we are devastating its treasures and consequently denying our future generation the same pleasure of enjoying nature in all its abundance and variety. With Avatar, James Cameron has delivered a fast-paced fantasy adventure that weaves together a bundle of powerful themes that are so crucial to the modern world that it extends beyond the fictional realm.

  • There’s A Hair In My Dirt

    Walking throughout the campus there is so much beauty. The trees, bushes, plants and flowers are all so amazing and enjoyable to look at. What we do not realize is that they are not there to give us pleasure, either in appearance or smell; they are here for the same reason we are: TO LIVE!!! Everyday of our lives we look at nature as if it were ours, but is it really “ours” or are we its? Every flower, sweet smell and ravishing greenery you see around you is nature’s “nature.” Our mental tendency to think that nature is there to bring us joy has much to do with our egotistical thinking. We think we are the best. Well, did you ever sit down and think that all the species alive today on this earth have made it this far, and we are just spring chickens. Some of these creatures have been around longer than we have; so, who’s the “best” now?

  • The Importance Of Urban Landscape

    1079 Words  | 3 Pages

    An urban landscape will always have a reason as to why it was assembled. Throughout time, each and every individual that has encountered a place will grow a significant memory and particular feeling to it. In the book, Cultural Geographies: An Introduction by John Horton and Peter Kraftl, has acknowledged that “Landscapes make us feel, act, or speak in a particular way - they do particular things to us when we look at them.” In many ways, this statement is true. If someone goes to a camping site and start reminiscing all their childhood memories, they begin to get emotional, saddened, or happy. It does not matter if it is a good or bad memory, the landscape is in control of them at that moment. Although there are so many urban landscapes that
