The Sabbath Garden Analysis

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity”, these are the quotes of the famous German physicist Albert Einstein in relation to how the world has become overly reliant on technology. As a result, we have taken nature for granted while also ignoring the adverse effects of technology. The making of steam engine, the usage of fossil fuel and the creation of chlorofluorocarbon are all technologies which has benefited us greatly and are continuing to do so, but like everything on this earth there are always negatives to counter the positives This is the balance that we must find between nature and humans.

Corn, potatoes, tomatoes, these are all foods that are located and purchased from our local grocery stores on a daily basis but what we don’t know when we purchase these foods is if it’s just a regular vegetable or a genetically modified frankenfood. In “Playing God in the Garden” by Michael Pollan, Pollan heavily researches genetically altered food more specifically genetically modified potatoes. He focuses on what it is how it's grown what the F.D.A thinks of it, how it looks and compares and contrast it too other non-genetically modified potatoes. Pollan was growing his own genetically modified potatoes while researching the subject and at the end of his essay after doing all the research he decided against eating his genetically modified

In the excerpt, Death of a Moth, by Annie Dillard, she attempts to overcome her writer's block by getting away from it all and taking a trip into the Mountains of Virginia. While taking time off, she intends to spiritually find her true self again and get back on a successful track. Only by using concrete imagery, drawing a strong parallel, and meticulously selecting a certain word choice to create points of clarity, is she able to effectively convey her inner struggle.

The bird then returns to his former place in the cage, the speaker emphasizing the pain in the bird’s “old, old scars”, imparting that the bird has attempted to escape in this manner multiple times in the past. From the line in which the speaker says “And they pulse again with a keener sting,” which refers to the bird’s scars, the reader can assume that the “keener sting” is a fire in the bird’s wings fueled by determination to achieve freedom, and that the bird will continue attempting to escape relentlessly. The speaker states that he “knows why he beats his wing”, meaning that he knows the forces that can drive a creature to harm themselves in the process of trying to achieve something, and he has come in contact with those forces in his life.

Politics in the United States has been since the beginning of political existence, intricate and convoluted just as it appears in Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil written by John Berendt. This extract from the novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil cultivates awareness through its use of language and generic conventions in giving an insight into the stratification of feudal society of Savannah, Georgia, in the South of America during the 1980s. The two main representations of this extract is the division between black people and white people, as well as the hierarchy of status in which white people are born into and unable to escape from.

Garden of the Gods is a state park in Colorado Springs, Colorado. My children asked me how it came by its name and for any of you who may not understand the reasoning behind its uncommon name, I will explain. The Garden of the Gods consists of rock formations that are stunningly beautiful and graceful against the deep Colorado blue sky. If you picture the Garden of the Gods from the sky, such as how a god would see it from the heavens you will begin to understand why it is called by its unique name. The garden has countless trails through the rocks with panoramic views of breathtakingly beautiful scenery. You can walk through the rocks, on trails the park has marked out for you all year round. The trails go for miles and miles through the historic garden while some extend out to a green valley of grass that offers shade trees and endless dirt paths. This valley is off to one side of the rock formations so it offers a view of each rock separately. The park offers guided horseback rides where anyone from a novice to an accomplished rider can enjoy the park 's views and a slightly faster pace. Trained guides offer not only the phenomenal tour of the state park, but also insightful historic information that any tourist will find interesting. In addition to walking trails and horseback riding, the park is a dreamland for rock climbers. With easy starter rocks that even a child can climb, it is outdoor fun for the whole family. There are also rocks towering over the park that

When a bird is put into a cage, it feels trapped. Even if it wants to leave, it can’t. All of it’s decisions have already been made for them. When it tries to speak out, we shut it up. In the book Out of the Easy by Rupa Sepetys, Josie, the main character, was treated like a bird in a cage, trying to escape and always trying to seek help. The decisions her mom made impacted her more than the decisions Josie made for herself. Since her mom was labeled as a “whore” or “a prostitute”, Josie was thought of that as well. But Josie turned her situation around, she had a willingness and such strive to get out of her rusty cage, her miserable town; she didn’t let her past affect her future.

One of the 20th century’s most important and influential modernist poets was Hilda Doolittle, more commonly known as H.D. While other artists struggled to find a new mode of expression, H.D. found imagism and created intense poems delving into very specific depictions. In “Sheltered Garden,” H.D. employs intense imagery using nature in order to put forth an opinion or viewpoint, which is also highlighted by another poem titled, “Sea Rose.” By analyzing these two poems, one can more fully comprehend the modernist movement/mentality and how H.D. shaped her own form of poetry. In “Sheltered Garden,” the poet uses the image of a garden to not only push against society’s constraint of women, but also its imposed ideas of beauty, creating tension between the natural and the unnatural.

Though she is weak, she struggles. I whisper soothing words to her as I carry her through the woods; if only she could understand that no harm will come to her by my hand. When she goes still, my heart twists in my chest. She has not left this world, I realize, but is staring at me with an intensity that makes the heat of fire seem dull. This is the first day that I have ever held a life in my arms, and it shakes me. Her soul is laid bare before my eyes, and I wish to shelter it from the snowfall. She does not see this, and though my words may be futile, they carry weight.

I initially planned to do Peter Berger's The Sacred Canopy for today's final blog and Monday's presentation. Unfortunately, I just realized that certain parts of the chapter have been accidentally cut out by the manufacturer. Pages 318 and 320 in the reader do not include full sentences.
