In early summer 1948 David Hayden was an innocent 12 year old child. David had a stable, happy life with a tight and loving family. He simply enjoyed being a young boy; he loved the wildness of nature where he was at his happiest. “Out of town I could simply be, I could feel my self” (p.24). David loved to be on his grandfather’s ranch where he could be with his horse, Nutty.
Their styles are different, yet they aim for the same things, they are both skilled and versatile writers. Whitman’s poem is quite patriotic and inspirational. This specific poem begins as Whitman hears his country singing, in “varied carols” or multiple voices, in a proud tone. A carpenter, mechanics, boatman, mason, shoemaker, and wood cutter each are in their work place as they express the joy the experience while living in a free country. Walt writes of all people working in fields of their choices, working during the day time and enjoying one another’s company in the dark hours.
There are many aspects between the monster and Victor, but in many ways, are different. The monster enjoys these same pleasures of nature while he is in his emotional exile. He chose to stay in the wilderness while becoming acquainted with humans. The wilderness around him “was enough to maintain his spirits, even through the persecution.” Just as it did for Victor, nature is able to hold the monster together through his struggles. This relationship for nature is shared most ardently between these two.
The audience is able to make connections with the text through the use of visual techniques which open the reader to the composers’ point of view. In this case, the courting days of the young men in Joe Wilson’s Courtship and the hard life that a woman has in the Australian outback bush. In the orientation of Joe Wilson’s Courtship, Lawson uses second person perspective. The narrator directly speaks to the reader. “There are many times in this world when a healthy boy is happy”.

‘The Everyday Man’, composed by Michael Leunig, suggests that even the ordinary, everyday, mundane journeys require us to have courage and perseverance to complete them day after day in our everyday journey of and through life. The poem, ‘Journey: the North Coast’, by Robert Gray, takes the responder with him on the journey through his colourful and descriptive way of writing. We observe the composers interesting experiences through vivid imagery, and are awed by the beauty of nature. “One night in the Sahara” gives us the experience of shared humanity whilst on a journey of self discovery. It reinforces the fact that we are all different yet have purpose and are equally important.
Although the general tone of the poem is negative at first – where the persona feels he has to “drag his body behind” (1st stanza) – as his journey progresses and as he begins to find remnants of his childhood in Darwin, it becomes one of happiness. The free-verse structure allows the composer to express his thoughts about the journey much easier as he is not restricted by the rhyme or to a certain number of syllables per line – just as the persona is not restricted to one place, he travels the world and is limitless.
It is symbolic as it is the answer (the key) to all of Billy’s problems and it is metaphorically unlocking the door to Billy’s future.As a result of Old Bill and Billy’s unlikely friendship there are many occasions for laughter, something that has been missing from their lives for some time. This laughter conveys the image of happiness and friendship: ‘I laughed long and loud’; and ‘two hobos laughing, laughing the morning away (p130) suggest Billy and Old Bill enjoy each other’s company and that the laughter is a therapeutic aid, part of their transformation from an ‘earlier self’. The words sunshine, sun and light are also often repeated.“The river is a symbol of ease, grace and fluidity; as expressed by its meandering form. Often times it is used to represent the calm beauty of nature.”How does Caitlin first describe Billy? Where does Billy remember feeling the most accepted?
The rare beauty of the usually dead landscape reflects the passion in the man’s heart; his burning emotion survives the coldest of surroundings. In Ethan Frome, author Edith Wharton reflects both continuous hardship and brief joy with changes in the landscape that affect Frome’s outlook. Through this, Wharton reveals that victims of pain and dejection may endure further adversity if they can hold onto their hope. Edith Wharton parallels Frome’s enduring love for Mattie Silver with small glimpses of nature’s survival within the
Victor best explains this through a quote “Clerval called forth the better feelings of my heart: he again taught me to the aspect of nature and the cheerful faces of Children (56)”. Victor takes in what Henry has to say, but his understanding of this is far greater then the natural world. The beauty in nature to him is that it can be altered and improved to the ways of his likings, or destroyed with the simplest of things. Victor’s understanding of nature and its course through life exceeds his understanding of any other human knowledge. He does not take it for what it is, but for what it can be.
