The novel begins with a rich description of the setting. Steinbeck uses descriptive language to indicate that the area is a place of rest. The specific colors, foliage, and animals that are mentioned create a respite, even for those boys and men from the ranches who beat a path to the water. For example, Steinbeck uses the following images to suggest that this place is a place of comfort and that the Salinas River is a sanctuary. Examples: • “The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool” (p.1).

''I could pet it with my thumb while we walk along; said Lennie''. This quotes explains the way in which Lennie loves stroking soft things and Steinbeck uses simimle to compare Curleys wifes hair and a mouse. He does this without thinking about the consequences. Lennie is a character who doesn't think properly most of the time. ''I dont need no nice food with ketchup''.
Although the island turned Jack into a natural predator, Simon has become peaceful with nature and inherited the natural beauty of the Island. William Golding goes into detailed perspective of the nature around Simon and how “Tall trunks bore unexpected pale flowers all the way up to the dark canopy where life went on clamorously.” Later in the chapter Simon finds himself in the wilderness. While there, Simon was calm and enjoyed the solitude of his surroundings; "He came at last to a place where more sunshine fell" This shows the natural, peaceful, holy, beauty that Simon finds within the island and how he may be an outcast by the other boys, he remains independently true to his inner self.

When Ralph Waldo Emerson observed nature, he states that, “nothing can befall him in life, no disgrace or calamity, when he is observing nature.” He is speaking of almost being absorbed into nature and becoming a part of it. Emerson appreciated the beauty of nature and explored it for an explanation of his identity by becoming spiritual. Nature teaches us the beauty in everything, by helping us appreciate every simple thing in life such as a shell or an acorn, it can help us embrace life and live it to the fullest. Nature is also medicinal and restores a serene tone and replaces emotions of rage with an eternal calm. Emerson once also stated that, “for nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure.” This quote expresses the importance of individuality in transcendentalism and not being influence by anything or anybody to make decisions.
The figures of speech used, for example ‘Fluttering and dancing in the breeze”... “Tossing their heads in sprightly dance”... “Out-did the sparkling waves in glee”... bring pleasurable images to ones mind of our natural environment and in this case dancing daffodils. This poem is purely one of pleasure and the poet feels no discontent with the natural environment he is witnessing. The pleasure shown in the poem ‘William Street’ by Kenneth Slessor reveals to us as a reader, that what one person may see as pleasurable another might not. It also shows us that the environment doesn’t necessarily have to be natural but it can be man-made. Slessor clearly gets his point across that for him the environment of William Street is one of pleasure.

The Lamb’s simple AABB structure gives it a song or lullaby tune, which adds to its innocent and free flowing nature. Another example of this is the poem’s two stanzas, which also adds an element of free flowing nature in the poem. The Lamb is written as a conversation between the speaker, a child, and the lamb. The rhyming of the poem is quite happy and sweet, with words such as ‘delight,’ ‘bright’ and ‘rejoice.’ The structure of this simple and happy poem represents what Blake wishes the world was like in his time, even though he knew that was impossible. On the other hand, The Tyger’s form, with is six quatrains is much more rigid and structured.
