Mark Twain's Jurassic Park

Over the past years, technological advancements have made people think that they can manipulate everything. However, no matter what they do, does mother nature still over power them? In the novel Tangerine, the residents of Tangerine County get affected by natural causes no matter the efforts to resist them. Edward Bloor uses the motif of nature’s power to shows that even though men think they can overpower nature, it actually overpowers them.

In his essay, “The Lowest Animal”, Mark Twain attempts to prove a pessimistic opinion of his. He compares humans to animals, and explains how contrary to widespread belief, humans are a lower animal to other species. While he makes some valid points about greed, selfishness, and violence, he misses the overall picture of human nature. I firmly believe that the human race is made of not only civilized, but caring human beings. If humans were as abominable as Twain attempts to make us out to be, we would not have countries, communities, or any other caring and loving, individual connections. We would also have countless amounts of prisons, prisoners, high mortality rates due to violence, and lower life-spans. Twain writes from a subjective point of view, allowing his opinions of

Overall I found Freakonomics interesting and very cool because some of the topics they touched on and how they linked them back together. I also liked the depth the authors went into like the baby names breaking down all the life choices a child could make just because his or her name is a little different then the kid sitting next to them in class. The authors also covered bunch of different scenarios throughout the book and the different incentives that might have lead them to breaking a law of or working harder in school. When I think of the book as a whole I feel like I just had a lesson at school but one with more interesting topics and ideas on how to fix the crazy problem or topic. The authors also make you feel more involved putting

The statement that can best be made about the purpose of The Lowest Animal by Mark Twain is that he believes that mankind is immoral, vulgar, wasteful, vengeful, discriminatory; cruel, greed, and obscene. This is because he has a moral sense and conscience despite this, doesn’t make our decisions right and properly. However, contrast with Mark Twain’s thesis; I think human beings are not that all bad and not the lowest animal, but perhaps not the highest animal either.

Throughout “Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude” by Ross Gay, Gay shows how nature controls emotional responses, forces and other higher or more powerful things. Furthermore, nature brings about unnatural aspects causing greater control of forces in nature, and outside of the natural realm. Many cycles revolve around nature, producing a circle, or cycle, of life that changes depending on different things. Even more, nature can interact with man-made things in ways that disrupt it. Gay portrays nature as a commanding force, something that’s located everywhere. Also, it shows how the nature forces have consequential reactions, resulting in everything being controlled by nature. Ultimately, this shows how Gay portrays nature as a controlling

Although man can easily report their findings, it is not possible for humans to control nature without

Nature is a powerful force. It is one the only thing in this world that we can not control. Nature has the

“Nature, with equal mind, Sees all her sons at play, Sees man control the wind, The wind sweep man away.” is a powerful quote from a poem by Matthew Arnold. It speaks greatly of the back and forth conflict between that of man and nature. As such, it is known that the practice of attempting to control nature has been ubiquitous throughout the time of mankind. In modern day, and within futuristic fiction stories, such as The Giver by Lois Lowry, this principle still holds true. the In the current era, great strides have been made to conquer the unpredictability of the world around us. As society gets closer and closer to their goal, a question gets begged to be asked; is this really for the greater good? It becomes apparent that though in

“The Lowest Animal” is Mark Twain’s way of criticizing Darwinism, saying humans did not adapt and become better versions of other animals, the animals are the better versions of us. Twain’s words have rotated my perspective 360 degrees, because he is absolutely right, I just never thought about things as deep as he does until I read “The Lowest Animal”. Human beings are cavalier, ungrateful, and narcissistic beings only thinking for themselves. If they are fortunate to have money, they waste it on things they won’t need or will never use, instead of using it to help others in need.

The trouble with the earth today is that humans have become too smart; so smart that they question everything they once took for granted, and being unable to explain it, discount it as unreal. Science, the very thing that has catapulted us into our present state of 'greatness,' is also the human evil that has isolated us from everything we

The idea that even nature is being controlled shows that the governments are abusing their power and are being so controlling that even nature cannot overcome the pure strength and brutality that their

In the movie “Avatar” there are a lot of references about nature and how some human beings are willing to protect it but also destroy it. Avatar takes location in another planet close to earth where wildlife is rich, the “sky people” as interpreted by the na’vi is an organization of men and women that are willing to destroy everything on it's path just to obtain a certain rock. And sometimes we destroy our planet like them not big things but by everyday use, like pollution, accumulation of garbage, and forest destruction Ecosystems are kept alive by the flow of energy that is obtained by cycling energy from external sources. Like in pandora every living thing like animal, trees, plants, and moving organisms all have a “link” that connects them to the planet. We call it “just” a forest but to them is more than that, is a place to live, learn, and to enjoy.

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, man tries to tamper with nature. This is an enormous mistake, because his experiences prove that man should respect the omnipotent power of nature so man can be happy. Man should respect nature because if man goes beyond his limits, then nature lets man creates all types of consequences for himself which proves Shelley’s point to respect nature’s powers.When people look at nature, they are automatically healed just by its looks. This is a much more powerful force than anything man is capable of doing, thus nature is all powerful. Nature is constant, unlike man who is constantly changing, which shows that nature is always in control.

     As I mentioned before our environment has a great effect on our nature. For example a theory claimed that, the first humans
