As the quote implies the whole first paragraph is organized like a conversation. Tomson is describing to someone what he loves about this northern land; he is explaining what he is so passionate about. Because someone who doesn’t live in the North might not be able to experience the earth the way Tomson does, Tomson is allowing them to envision what he sees through this description. However, this conversation ends on a defensive note as indicated by the last lines of the essay. For instance he quotes a trusted visionary and says the land was borrowed.

The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that the reason the Lewis and Clark expedition succeed was because of the Natives.

They helped with guidance and proving them with the things they needed to succeed there expedition. Lewis and Clark expedition would have been lost without the guidance of the Shoshone’s. In a primary source Lewis writes, “We needed the Shoshones to procure horses from them in order to cross the immense mountains to the west.
Anthony Lane Roider Guns, Germs, and Steel Essay 2 A lesson on the spread of disease through animals would make a solid geography lesson based on Jared Diamond’s book. In Diamond’s book he focused a lot on the physical geography in the world that we live. He heavily researched mountain ranges and bodies of water that contributed to the development of some isolated civilizations. For example, Diamond had an argument that some continents that are easily traversable, like Europe, stimulated its development and encouraged trade among different people. In the Geography lesson, we would be able to study different continents features and be able to compare and contrast certain geographic features that make them unique and the features that could have lead to certain foods, germs, and “steel” that have developed there.
Their ventures through “the cold red of sunset behind winter hills, the flight of cloud-flocks over slopes of golden stubble, [and] the intensely blue shadows of hemlocks on sunlit snow” (Wharton 33) reveal to Frome that the cold landscape is not necessarily dark and unwelcoming. When he realized the landscape can still be perceived beautiful despite the damp cold, he began to regain hope of a better life. Whenever Mattie is beside Frome, the surroundings brighten in response to their emotional warmth. Even when Mattie is not beside him, during lumbering work, Frome attaches himself to Mattie, seeing her face in “part of the “sun’s red and the pure glitter on the snow” (Wharton 50) Because the landscape links the two, Mattie never truly leaves Frome. Mattie’s presence is manifested through the landscape: her voice is heard in a bird’s song, her vitality represented through the bright sunlight, her beauty found in a
Just like the barking dogs, it is hard not to shout for joy when you accomplish something great. After careful observation of nature, I realized the striking similarities between what I had seen and what I had felt. Nature it seems mimics life’s emotions. For example, the blanket of snow on a winter day chilled my heart and soul and reminded me of times when I felt lost and alone. However, time marches on and so too do the emotions of my life.
2. Thoreau’s writing is characterized by extensive use of metaphor. Choose several of these to analyze in detail. How well does metaphor contribute to clarifying Thoreau’s ideas? In the excerpt, “Why I Went to the Woods,” Henry David Thoreau reiterates his main argument, which states that it is essential for people to stop focusing on the trivial details of life.
Although the one thing I can't figure out about this poem is why Kooser says “skulls” of small talk, because skulls usually signify death or lose and the small talk for me was the best part of the whole experience. The next line is “On the prairies below us, the grass leans this way and that in discussion; words fly away like corn shucks over fields”. Now I interpreted this as just an extension of Kooser saying that the mountains listen to what you have to say
