She describes the balance of nature of the soil, of the earth’s waters, and of the organisms of the earth. Then she informs the reader of the ways chemical poisons upset that balance and thereby kill life. Where as in "If I Forget Thee, Oh Earth, Marvin's father tells Marvin the story of earth's destruction, which he has

This is quite evident when the creation story of Shinto is examined the land is actually a gift from the water showing that in order for the land to be successful you must use resources from the water. Japan has encountered many earthquakes through history and the legend of the earthquake is on that shows the belief in nature around the Shinto people. It was once said that a giant cat fish would start earthquakes under Japan; proving that the people of the Shinto people are truly dependant on the sea and the creatures in it. Livings depend on the so death is blamed on
The characters are developed to the point that they still exist in the world of melodrama but are wholly believable, which lends itself perfectly to the fantastical elements of the film and helps bring those elements down to earth to make them seem a natural part of the proceedings. Caro's screenplay (based on a novel by Witi Ihimaera) tells a specific and simple story and—like all the best storytellers—brings out the universal human themes in its fiber. The film's prologue introduces us to a Maori family. Tradition tells of Paikea, who arrived in New Zealand on the back of a whale over a thousand years ago, and the Maori are his descendents. The first-born son of the chief in each generation is the successor to leadership.
In the epic poetry of Homer we see the divine intervention of Gods in human affairs. The ancient Greek gods not only squabbled with the people but also amongst themselves. The Gods also displayed very human characteristics or jealously and choosing favorites. In Homer’s the Iliad, Apollo the son of Zeus having been angered by the capture of Chryses daughter was infuriated by the Greeks thus favoring the Trojans in war, intervening, and reaping havoc. “He settled down some way from the ships and shot an arrow, with a terrifying twang from his silver bow… day and night, packed funeral pyres burned” (RAEH 29).
At some point in life humans will realize the reality of death, and they will want to find a way to escape it. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, Enkidu dies leaving Gilgamesh shaken and scared. Gilgamesh says, "For Enkidu, I loved him dearly, together we endured all kinds of hardship on his account, for the common lot of man has taken him" (p98). He fears that he will have the same fate as Enkidu and die. He decides to embark on a journey to find Utnapishtim, who survived a terrible flood and is the only mortal to gain immortality.
In the second stanza the poet continues to show how nature’s wonderful creatures are destroyed by war. She moves from the land to the air, but the birds have been grounded- an unnatural and life threatening state for the cormorants which are covered with oil . One device she continually uses is to link a gentle-sounding word with a destructive one. For instance, the metaphorical phrase‘in his funeral silk’ evokes the image of death which we associate with war. Silk, normally associated with a sensual, slippery fabric is here the deadly (to the bird) oil slick.
