He did not simply preach that his parents were too materialistic, or state that he “won’t be as greedy” as he believes them to be. Instead, he lived by his anti-materialistic values completely, giving away all of his life savings to charity, and keeping as few possessions as he possibly could. While it could be argued that this following of principle is something to admire in McCandless, he placed these principles above the people around him.

Her poetry very much reflects this, and she advises the audience subtly in her writing that it is not society’s fault that she cannot live in the regular social world, but she just needs something that society doesn’t give her. She also wishes acceptance or tolerance from the world, wanting to ‘belong’ to a small degree, even though she cannot. Dickinson’s poem “this is my letter to the world” is her main body of work, being one of the only two poems that were published in her lifetime, and is one of the strongest poems that shows her connection with nature and her lack of belonging to the human world.

‘The glory invites me’ Discuss how feelings and ideas inspired by the natural world are explored in ‘The Glory’. In your answer, explore the effects of language, imagery and verse form, and consider how this poem relates to other poems by Thomas you have studied. Edward Thomas’ poem ‘The Glory’ is one about the beauty of nature, and the way he uses it to escape from other troubled parts of his life. In this poem, he depicts how nature helps him to find peace, though it is not unequivocal as it reminds him of how imperfect he is himself in comparison to nature, as well as his inability to capture its flawlessness. One way in which Thomas seems inspired by the natural world is through his contrast between the simplistic beauty of nature “sky and meadow and forest”, “untouched dew”, “new mown hay”, and the impossible complexity of expressing this beauty in words “I cannot bite the day to the core”.
