This can be seen with the repetition of words like ‘the’ and ‘and’. It shows the beauty of nature in abundance. She over-exaggerates by using words like ‘gold’ to describe nature. She grew up in Tuscany and all the elements of nature in England couldn’t possibly be foreign to Aurora Leigh. Many other poems are also constantly dwelling on the theme of nature.

People need connections with others, but these connections are not always what brings them to their absolute highest level of happiness. Chris proceeded to record his personal thoughts in his journal, further proving to the reader the point that personal connections are not essential to happiness. “I now walk out and live amongst the wild. Take care, it was great knowing you.” (69), Chris wrote on a card sent to two generous people, Jan and Bob Burres. How briefly this sentence was written and how easily the “good-bye” was said to the couple that took him in and gave him supplies, Chris had displayed that his desire to be on his own was greater than his desire for theirs or anyone’s, friendship.
He “ranged freely over music, literature, art, and other subjects,” but could not agree with what was taking place at Coney Island. Critics like him who had visited the island could not deny the fun environment, but felt that when people arrived a Coney Island, they lost their mind and moral values. Not only were they concerned about human character; they were also concerned about the economy as a whole. Coney Island was changing America “from a ‘pain economy,’ where scarcity of resources demanded a struggle for subsistence, to a ‘pleasure economy,’ in which abundance was potentially available to all” (Kasson 90). People would avoid sin to be sure not to be punished by unemployment and bad economic standings, but without this fear, it was unknown what citizens of the United States would start acting like.

How do you find information and articles on such an individual? The booklet The Bottle King was very helpful. Reading about his life and the history of the mansion at first seemed boring, but after I realized just how much he had accomplished in his life and how the mansion came to be, it became more interesting.

Montag touches the river to be sure it is real and not an illusion being projected by technology, just like everything else in his life is. By Montag getting in touch with nature he is able to appreciate its beauty, elegance, and power, which many people in his society don’t care about or notice because the technology takes over their life 24/7 and they don’t have the time to enjoy the simpler more beautiful things in
Nationalism has been one of the most prominent political ideologies of the modern world that impacted the world's development in the 19th and 20th centuries. It caused revolutions, rebellions, establishment of new nations, the growth of new empires and movements of resistance against foreign rule.
