William Faulkner’s novella “The Bear” from his collection of works, Go Down Moses, is a symbolic exploration of the relationship between man and nature in the eyes of a young boy. The heart of the issue, the warped idea of the ownership of land, is revealed thought the clash of man and nature in a wild chase that ends only in blood and death. The prey is nature itself, represented by a bear, while the hunters are men, full of greed and destructive possessiveness, pursuing that which they do not understand. Ike’s idea of the bear, presented in section 1 of the novella, expresses the idea of symbolism in relation to the bear and to the hunters and what the battle between the two represents.

The reader can first determine Oliver’s appreciation for nature through her vivid and crystal clear imagery of the “great horned” through the night. With its “razor-tipped toes” and “hooked-beak,” Oliver’s descriptions of the great horned owl show her respect towards the owl, and in the same vein, nature.

The diction which is emphasized upon the story gives a clear picture of how everything happened in a sudden and fulfilling way. The man noticed that the snake “lay rigid” and had “suddenly arrested” and eventually watched him in calm watchfulness. The snake was placid and was not doing any violent action. The man, instead, decided to fulfill his duty concerning the community. The man describes seeing the snake as he looked like a “live wire” while his “tocsin sounded”.

The gasping creatures cautiously circle each other, searching for any weakness, hoping that their next blow will end this eternal battle for power. Their identities indistinguishable, both dripping with the excess of their efforts, fatally wounded from years of endless onslaughts, this is the tireless struggle between man and nature. For centuries, man and nature have come to a point where only one could survive, causing the two to become opposing forces and fight till the death. This idea of dominance between the two leading forces of earth inspires many works of literature and art such as Dr. Franklin’s Island, The Iliad, The Horse Tamers, and current events of attacks as well. Everything has been fought for in this world, from bustling cities to abundant forest, the world a battlefield of clashing ideas and opposing forces, forcing all to be a part of this great battle. The theme of man and nature clashing on the battlefield of life, constantly struggling for supreme dominance is most prominent in the novel “Dr. Franklin’s Island,” the epic poem “The Iliad,” the famous sculptures “The Horse Tamers,” and the current event involving a small child of Ottawa, Canada attacked by a pit-bull.

School is out! I ran and zipped through the back door into my safe haven. I leaned against the deciduous tree and watched as the graceful, draped foliage of this ornamental tree flow in the cool brisk air. I sat there for a bit taking in the scent of freshly mowed grass and wet dirt, then I jumped up with excitement. A sudden, small burst of movement caught my eye. I followed the movement and walked steadily, cautiously, and carefully so as not to startle the creature, much like a tiger stalking it’s prey. The creature moved it’s head slightly and flickered it’s tongue, tasting the air. I moved close, and imitating my idols, I quickly placed my thumb gently but firmly on the head of the snake and my index finger under it’s head and picked it

In addition to personification being shown in this poem so is the use of similes. The snake shows up suddenly and catches the speaker of guard “His

This was my first time hunting alone. I was on my own, on my four wheeler, rifle on my back, and backpack on the four wheeler rack. I was headed to a new spot, only a few miles from my home in Rockwood. My hopes weren’t very high seeing what had happened every other hunt I’d ever been on. I had arrived at the spot to park my four wheeler and start my trek to the field I wanted to hunt through the over grown forest and undergrowth and brush thickets of briars. As I walked through thicket after thicket my patience began to diminish. I thought to myself, “how much farther of a walk is this, if I’m even going the right direction”. I was starting to wish I hadn’t decided to go hunting that evening. Although I had my regrets, and doubts, I returned to the slow stalking and sneaky pace.

In the poems "Hunting Snake" by Judith Wright and "Pike" by Ted Hughes, both the poets explore the ideas of fear and unfamiliar encounters with predators in each of their own domains. Snakes are animals that place fear into many people although the poem "Hunting Snake" explores the beauty and admiration of an apex predator of the bush. Although a Pike is a fish, Ted Hughes still fears the predator. Using descriptive words to detail the predator, horrifying imagery and extended metaphors he describes a fearful creature.

Pivotal to their tribal heritage, the Pueblos value the natural world above all else. The native people feel a living connection with nature; in which the Pueblo find their complete peace through the “bare granite face of the mountain”, the “sacred tribal lake”, or “the deep turquoise lake of life” offering the ecocentric beings comfort (6-7). Waters’ novel The Man Who Killed the Deer opens with the nature calling a strong Pueblo Indian into the woods. The honorable character hears “Grandfather coyote” and “Grandfather Crow” call out to him, asking him to leave his home and come to the forest (17). By listening to the “heart of the mountains”, synonymous to the “heart of [his] body”, he saves a man’s life (17). Truly, “the deep pulse of the mountain” and “the pulse of his own blood […] beat together” as one (7). Palemon’s experience with nature sets the tone of the novel: the Pueblo value nature, tradition, and their tribe above all else. The ecocentrism in Pueblo Culture values balance in nature over any other relationship: if nature lies in peace, then life remains balanced. In The Man who Killed the Deer by Frank Waters, the author influences the reader to think like a Pueblo tribe member by using the Pueblo’s value of nature to describe the protagonist and his wife.
