The literal purpose of the poem is to inspire the reader to be outside and enjoy nature, but the deeper purpose of the poem is to encourage the reader to be more optimistic/or look at the positive, when the speaker states that he is lonely he also mentions natures beauty and clarifies “a poet could not but be gay” because of his experience with nature. The speaker of “I wandered lonely as a cloud” is a lonesome person but has cheerful views; a deeper explanation of the speaker is that he is imaginative or creative because he
He portrays the swamp as a wildlife resort, where tourists would come and go to see a beautiful place. This fact is expressed in his careful and descriptive diction, such as, "wildlife refuge,""giant tupelo," and "bald cypress," which helps the reader understand that the Okefenokee Swamp is an amazing location, even though it has an informative textbook like tone. The author depicts the animals as just being there on the side minding their own business; mentioning only the harmless ones. He adds, “Alligators are also present,” as a casual reminder. This further implies that the author uses formal diction and an informative tone to disregard the evil lurking in the swamps by only giving facts that establish an illustration of a perfect swamp.
Emerson states that “[He has] enjoyed a perfect exhilaration in nature” (Ralph Waldo Emerson, Pg 2, Line 5). By using the first person perspective in the piece of work, Emerson shows that he has likes to live in the wild and separate from the man-made society. Projecting himself as a person with experience will influence the ethos and make it stronger. Due to the reason that it is a
Bass explains that before he integrated to the valley he rarely hunted, but when he moved there he could not help exploring the game that the forest sheltered. The charming rich forest seems to allure people to explore the resources within in it. The statistics and real life examples that Bass uses of his personal and villagers’ experiences are logic, because they are facts and not opinions. Aside from arguing that hunting can awaken a creative imagination, Bass is also arguing that hunting is a very enjoyable activity, and he is trying to emphasize to the readers that it can help one feel something that one has never felt before. Bass’s logic is that hunting can contribute to a creative imagination, and that it is an incredible experience that will make one feel something that one has never felt before.
His photographs of the landscape overwhelm the viewer with beauty and awe. They show that true power is natural. The exhibition, Natural Power, is to not only show the beauty of the landscape, but also its untamable nature; its power. Even though it is an exhibit about nature, it can also be looked at as a tribute to Ansel Adams, for without his conservation efforts, some of this beauty might have been overtaken by human expansion. Though he may not be alive, his vision and love lives on through his photography for us to appreciate, learn from, and enjoy.
All in all, “Nature” and “Fate” by Ralph Waldo Emerson share many similarities. However, “Nature” and “Fate” vary because of their portrayals of nature. In “Nature”, the outside forces are shown as very beautiful. For example, “ In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature” (186). However, the entire first paragraph of “Fate” talks about how “Nature is no sentimentalist-does not cosset or pamper us” (191).
These details help us understand Mr. Monet’s personality. I always believed he had an almost solitary seeking personality. My reason for thinking this is: ‘He spent most of his day inside the pump house by the river,’ (page 4) and ‘On his weekends and holidays he would visit the forested areas near the sugar factory,’ (page 5). Mr. Monet favored spending time with his wild-life friends on his holidays and weekends instead of friends. To me he seemed like a person who found comfort in solitary from humans and favored spending time with animals.
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.
Samantha Gill Short Paper Circle of Life: Nature Style Romantic Literature idolizes the natural elements of the world, otherwise known as nature. Most “Romantic” authors turn to nature for inspiration. In most works, the overall mood/tone can suddenly change because of such “beauty” nature displays. William Blake and William Wordsworth are authors whose poems have admired nature. In Songs of Innocence and Ode: Intimations of Immortality nature is used to add a double meaning to the story.
Camus was a French novelist, essayist and playwright, who received the 1957 Nobel Prize for literature. Camus was closely linked to his fellow existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre in the 1940s, but he broke with him over Sartre's support to Stalinist politics. Camus died at the age of forty-six in a car accident near Sens, France. Among his best-known novels are The Stranger (1942) and The Plague (1947). He also joined the Communist Party, but his interest in the works of Marx and Engels was rather shallow.
