    Many people who live in urban environments are fascinated about the wilderness through television, but never take a step outside to interact with the nature surrounding them. People who alienate themselves from nature, are unaware that the loss of direct contact is one of the greatest causes of ecological crisis. One lesson that Robert Pyle has mentioned in his book The Thunder Tree is that our culture lacks the intimacy with the living world. If we do not have direct contact with nature we lose the importance it holds because we allow ourselves to only imagine what it is like to have direct contact with nature. This lesson is important to Pyle because this mass disaffection in our culture is foreshadowing apathy for the condition of earth. This lesson is important to me personally because I now have a deeper understanding of nature and it helped change my perspective of what I thought was my environment.…

    WALL-E directed by Andrew Stanton and produced by Pixar in 2008, is an animated science fiction movie, . What is so unique and very intresting about this movie is that you understand everything with just the images only and with so few dialogues, you can still be captivated and feel very strong emotions while watching WALL-E. I believe that this movie has a strong mix of science fiction and a love story the relationship between the two robots is just as important as the general plot. This film takes from a genre that came long before sci-fi movies, its silent films. When both of the robots are on the screen, there isn't really any dialogue, its mostly the pictures and the actions of the robots telling the story.…
