The significance of the context and the different stylistic features of the story aid the purpose of the story. Firstly the title of the story gives away the audience and to a certain extent the purpose of the story. “Animals of the Amazon forest” states that the story will include Animals and the Amazon rainforest thus solidifying what the purpose and the audience are. In the first paragraph, the author uses the repetition of animals and creatures throughout the paragraph. This gives the image and the purpose of the story and it links to the title.

The first in book was Environmental Interpretation: A Practical Guide for People with Big Ideas and Small Budgets in 1993 and the second recently in 2013, Interpretation: Making a Difference on Purpose (Thematic Interpretation, n.d). Quoted from Sam Hams own book ‘environmental interpretation’ his meaning of interpretation is “A communication process in which one person translates a language he or she speaks very well into terms and ideas that other people can understand. It is an educational method that aims to reveal meanings and relationships through the use of original objects, by firsthand experiences, and by illustrative media, rather than simply to communicate factual information (Ham, 1992). Freeman Tilden was the first person to lay out the theories and principals for heritage interpretation. This was done in his book ‘interpreting our heritage’, which was
Anthropologists such as Sherry Ortner, Susanne Langer, and Clifford Geertz have studied various cultures and come up with unique theories, definitions, and sub-definitions of symbols. Each author’s work presents his or her own explanation of symbolism and how symbols and signs can be clearly defined into separate categories. In Ortner’s piece entitled “On Key Symbols”, she defines certain symbols as being “key” and divides them into two separate categories, with further sub-categories. Langer’s essay entitled “The Logic of Signs and Symbols” highlights the difference between signs and symbols, and that symbols are the vehicles for the conceptualization of objects. Geertz offers a similar, more general picture of symbolism, stressing that symbols are the driving force for understanding world order.
Anthony Giddens sees the world from a political, sociological, and pro- environmental view. Many of his theories or thoughts about society deal with each view in a variety of ways. His theory of structuration deals with all levels of activity from micro to macro that is more than random acts of interactions and encounters. Structuration is the intermixing of human agency and social structure. Giddens believes that both human agency and social structure are interconnected and work with each other to form Structuration.

Symbolic-interaction is how humans take in their surroundings and change it into meanings of the world.
He uses atone appropriate to his audience, employs the use of any number of persuasive techniques, and divides his main argument into three concise and well-explained sections. Emerson’s first point of argument is the necessity of learning from nature. In this section of his oration, he upholds that in order to “Know thyself,” one must “Study nature.” According to Emerson, it is to nature--to the wind, to the grass, to flowers and trees--that one compares himself, and is thus able to discover attributes about himself. It is this comparison that Emerson uses to effectively persuade his point. Throughout this section, he emphasizes the similarity between the soul and nature; nature’s laws are similar to the actions of a thinker.
