Wilson, argues that the organisms which compose nature “run the world precisely as we would wish it to be run, because humanity evolved within living communities and our bodily functions are finely adjusted to the idiosyncratic environment already create.” This sentence highlights the sophistic nature of exemptionalism, which purports that we are above nature and thus not bound by its laws. I will further address the fallacies of this view later in this eassy. Wilson goes on to argue

Phillis Wheatley, Harriet Jacobs, and Harriet Wilson have all made valuable contributions in the forms of poetry, narrative, and fiction to the early stages of a growing literary tradition.

narrators, and telling two different stories can be found to have similar textual qualities. This instance can be shown between A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson by Mary Rowlandson herself and Our Nig by Harriet E. Wilson. The stories depict the great suffering of two individuals who express similar qualities in their writings; the qualities being that each piece is a captivity narrative, there is a struggle with faith, and a silenced sexual subtext. The first

show a negative pride that limits the before mentioned characters associated with a lower class. Through their writing, Harriet E. Wilson and Fanny Fern exhibit a myriad of levels of pride exemplified by various characters, in their books, Our Nig or, Sketches from the Life of a Free Black and Ruth Hall: A Domestic Tale of the Present Time, respectively. In Harriet E. Wilson’s book, Our Nig, there are two opposing types of pride that are present throughout the book. The positive character of Frado

Harriet Wilson’s novel Our Nig, follows the life of Frado, a young mulatto girl in the household of a white family in New England. She is abandoned to this family at the age of six because her mother could not afford to care for her and resented her and the hardships to which her birth had contributed. The mistress of the household to which Frado is left is a cruel and spiteful woman, especially towards blacks. When Frado is left in the care of the Bellmont residence as a young girl, she has no idea

The Diversity of Life written by, Edward O. Wilson tells the reader his experience in the Amazon River Basin and the eruption of the Krakatau. Wilson decided to introduce his book with these events to show that nature recovers from natural disasters that may occur in an environment. Both of his experiences displays that although nature becomes violent, resilience is seen within organisms, not only animals, but plants and bacteria. These disasters create species that can adjust and adapt to the nature

Throughout human existence, questions have arisen concerning the nature of good and evil. Many scientist, philosophers, and theologians have been intrigued by these questions. Through Augustine’s Confessions and E. O. Wilson’s In Search of Nature, one is accessible to two distinct perspectives concerning the nature of good and evil.      Augustine sets up an argument in his Confession that attempts to define evil. God is the author of everything. Augustine says, “nothing

Wilson, believe that human behavior, as well as non-human behavior, can be partly explained as the outcome of natural selection. E. O. Wilson, the author of Sociobiology: the New Synthesis, popularized the term "sociobiology" as an attempt to explain the evolutionary mechanics behind social behaviors such as altruism,

The explanations based on crime and control of the same make sense and differences in the correlations, despite the perspectives on the school of thoughts. The famous O. J. Simpson murder case is one of the many examples that can be used to drive the literature sense into perspective. The case was a trial held with the suspect being responsible for his ex-wife’s death, as well as her
