In Erich Maria Remarque’s book, All Quiet on the Western Front, nature appears as a means of projecting the mood of the book. There are many instances of nature that affect Paul and how he thinks of war and how both nature and war have changed him. In chapter one for example, the mood is placed by how nature is being described. The first chapter has descriptions about how the flowers and butterflies were so beautiful even if it was a war zone. "The grasses sway their tall spears; the white butterflies flutter around and float on the warm wind of the late summer."
The colors definitely are symbolic for different things. The horse is blue that usually represents being spiritual. Marc’s works generally showed the animals as simple and spiritual which this work does with the blue coloring. The rainbow shows the beauty of the earth but also the rigid lines cutting through them can mean the broken way the earth was at the time he painted it. These rigid lines are much like the industrial cities that were developing and could be shown as society versus spirituality in the rainbow and blue horse.
John Steinbeck uses animal imagery to express and introduce characters, events and themes in 'Of Mice and Men.' Steinbeck also uses nature, to convey events and settings in a subtle way. In section one of 'Of mice and Men' Steinbeck uses various colours to help the reader visualise the clearing as a tranquil and peaceful place.

In addition, Steinbeck suggests that the clearing is full of sunlight: 'The water is warm too, for it slipped twinkling over the yellow sands.'
The ocean, with its rough waves, is pounding the shore, where some Indians are struggling to pull their canoes out of the violent water; in addition, dark clouds have already half covered the right sky, blocking the sun’s lights wherever they can reach. Albert has decided the right moment to illustrate his idea of nature’s changing. Just in one picture, I realize that nature can change from peaceful into angry only in a moment of the painting. According to my experience, the last moments before a storm coming are always the best since people usually feel sorry for what they’re going to loose when the violence comes – they’re going to loose the sunshine, the peaceful environment Although he
The Seafarer: A Rhetorical Analysis “The Seafarer” is a poem written during the period after Roman rule ended and the Anglo Saxons, a fierce warring people from Germanic tribes, migrated via sea and settled in Britain. The poem tells two stories from the point of view of the speaker who is an old, experienced seafarer.

You see this by the end of the story, by how the tone changes, and words that is used. Death is a terrible thing, but in the end death is a part of life and life a part of death. In the beginning of the story Thoreau creates a desperate setting that makes you feel for the despair the people are in. “On reaching Boston, we found that the Provincetown steamer, which should have got in the day before, had not yet arrived, on account of a violent storm; and, as we noticed in the streets a handbill headed, "Death! one hundred and forty-five lives lost at Cohasset," we decided to go by way of Cohasset.

I believe Arison’s decisions to avoid media most negatively affected customers who were looking for him for explanations
To some the theme of death can be seen as something gruesome and un-moral. To others, it can speak on a completely different level. It can mean something complex such as the piece has so much emotion that the pure idea that the artist is able to
