Huckleberries Henry David Thoreeau Analysis
Huckleberries, by Henry David Thoreau, in the story he talks about working with huckleberries and getting everything paid for, for example, clothes and his schooling. He got it all paid for by picking huckleberries. In huckleberries he expresses how people are putting up signs and warning pickers away from their huckleberry fields and have to go to the store just to buy them, when you should be able to just go anywhere and pick some. The country life shouldn’t have private huckleberry fields onto their property according to Thoreau. We exclude people from gathering the fruits that make us healthy and filled with delight. We give berries to the wrong hands of people who don’t take care and enjoy, but other less just letting them rot on a bush and don’t treasure them the right way. In conclusion, our towns need more people who can see the true beauty of nature itself. …show more content…
In this story, Abby discusses how the national park tends to hire people only to make the visitors happy but not being considerate to the park itself. He also expresses how the beauty of nature people are just ruining it, for example, like abbey mentions, the Fremont river was beautiful and people could go there to do hiking and many other different things but instead they decided to just put a highway through the middle of it. In conclusion, Abby believed that people should comprehend nature more in a different way and enjoy what nature has to offer.

    Never has a man left the embrace of nature once he found himself enamored by it; this infatuation is found in both John Muir’s and Aldo Leopold’s writing, a sense of wanting to protect this deity they call Mother Nature, a moral and ethical responsibility which every human being has to this Mother. Both John Muir and Aldo Leopold recount their almost romantic encounter with Mother Nature in their books Our National Parks and A Sand County Almanac, respectively. However, in both books it is notable that each man carries instilled in the very fiber of their being a sense of dissatisfaction toward the process of mechanization and industrialization; processes which unfortunately…

    Galway Kinnell’s poem “Blackberry Eating” (rpt. in Greg Johnson and Thomas R. Arp, Perrine’s Literature: Structure, Sound, and Sense, 12th ed. [Boston: Wadsworth, 2015] 890-891) makes me think of my childhood with blackberries. Blackberries are my favorite berries and love the time of the year for them. As the poem says “I love to go out in late September among fat, overripe, icy, black blackberries…” (890), this is the best time of the year. Blackberries bring many memories with my grandparents: picking the blackberries, eating the blackberries, and making jelly and cobbler out of blackberries.…

    “Berries” by Robin Kimmerer is a very detailed and very poetic way of writing. This writing starts with fruit, but the more you read the more meaning you find behind the name of these berries. This writing was a well thought out writing that while you read it all of the words start connecting and it starts making sense but at the beginning you feel like you are reading gibberish. This summary is about the true meaning of the word “Berries” and how you would never know how differently you could look at berries after reading this story. This writing was very interesting to read because it helped me realize the little things in life.…

    Is your life perfect? Probably not we all have our demons we all have our faults but that is what unifies us. We are on a journey to become a better person all the time. Just like in the novels Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Therefore the journey by both protagonists in the novels The adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Underground to Canada differ, the style of writting used in both texts are complete opposites. They share similairties such as the setting used for both books and the fact both novels end on a positive note. Both authors succeded in conveying the readers attention to the central themes of the books: perserverance, moral awakening and finding your freedom. In this…

    One particular piece of assumptive data that jumped out of me was Hardin’s prediction that India’s population would increase from what it was in his time, “600 million”, to “1.2 billion in a mere 28 years.” Today, 37 years later, India’s population is estimated around that number. This gave me pause because, while it didn’t increase quite as fast Hardin claimed, it was close enough that it proves the population numbers he was working with and the predictions he made were fairly accurate. I do not know the extent to which Hardin was right, and how much we should trust his solution to overpopulation, but I do know based on this evidence along with the clarity of his logic and the completeness of his argument that it certainly should not be dismissed without giving what it proposes careful consideration. The reaction of my class, then, in rejecting it immediately was ill advised, and if that is at all an indicator of the habits of people in general, it can be a very dangerous thing; what Hardin claims will be a result of ignoring his advice is the suffering of our posterity and, eventually, the demise of our race and ruin of our environment. As a concerned member of an overly sensitive society, I want to urge with this essay that we consider all proposal given from every source with any sort of…

    Nature is a place full of mystery waiting to be discovered. The outdoors contains the sky with countless starts at night and the bright sun in the mornings. Nature is filled with crystal watered lakes and lashing waves of blue seas. The green leaves on the trees wonder in the natural world. Three authors by the name Annie Dillard, Mark Twain, and Eudora Welty write about how their interaction with nature and how it influences their character and outlook on life.…

    Sweetgrass Basket

    The cover photograph for this issue of Southeastern Geographer places you on the roadside of Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant South Carolina. In the midst of suburban neighborhoods, shopping malls, and commuter traffic, African American men and women sell baskets made from sweetgrass, bulrush, palmetto fronds, and pine needles. These baskets have become a popular symbol in Charleston’s historical tourism industry because of their connection to West African coiled basketry, rice processing on lowcountry plantations, and their association with Gullah-Geechee culture (Rosengarten et al. 2008). Despite this importance, the craft has been undermined by development patterns that restrict access to raw materials, disrupt African American communities, and displace roadside basket stands (Proceedings 1988; Halfacre et al. 2010). The craft has persisted, however, which illustrates that land use and livelihood changes can be co-produced by a host of different social relationships (McCusker and Carr 2006). In this case, negotiations between the basket making community, government officials, and residents have created a variety of formal and informal agreements that save, as…

    Muir and Abbey

    • 1014 Words
    • 3 Pages

    It is difficult to find writers more passionate about the natural environment than John Muir and Edward Abbey. Both Muir in a section from his book A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf and Abbey in a chapter titled Polemic: Industrial Tourism and the National Parks channel anger and frustration at the environmental policies of their time into literature that argues fervently for preservation of national parks and other areas of wilderness. In Hetch Hetchy Valley, Muir reverently describes in vivid detail the beautiful landscape of a river valley in Yosemite called the Hetch Hetchy Valley, condemning anyone who supports a government plan to dam the Hetch Hetchy River and flood the valley. In a famous quote Muir says, “no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man” (Muir 112). Abbey employs a highly sarcastic and satirical tone to outline the consequences of further expansion of roads and highways into national parks. He aims to incite anger with sharp language and insults to draw the reader in emotionally. “This is a courageous view, admirable in its simplicity and power… It is also quite insane” (Abbey 422). Both pieces easily stand alone, but when looked at together they suggest even more strongly that it is deceptive and dishonest to advertise industrialization of wilderness as any kind of favorable progress for society. This “progress” does not actually benefit anyone. Those who proclaim this as their reason for supporting industrial development are more likely motivated by the short-term economic benefits they will receive.…

    In her story “Being Country” Bobby Ann Mason writes about how it’s like to grow up country. The author describes how her mom uses the land to its full potential, including home grown food and all homemade clothes. Life on the farm was different than life of the town folk in many ways. For example, she had three wardrobes of clothes, school clothes, everyday clothes and Sunday clothes. Sunday dinners after church were lots of food plus dessert, served on the same plate so another one wasn’t dirtied. Although living on the farm depended on the forces of nature, Mason felt inferior to the town’s people. Mason thought that in town was where it was all happening. They had magazines, radio stores and restaurants with not the everyday food. Mason believed that it’s okay to leave home and strive for something better. Mason made a difference to herself and others in her essay because she had goals and dreams. She had ambitions to want a better life.…

    Nature enables one to be prone to seeing both the good and bad of the world and allows them to change as a result. In Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain demonstrates how many different characters are able to be influenced into having more open views of things. Some of these characters include Huck, who sees a change in his belief in racism, Jim who sees a difference in his values, and Tom, who sees a change in his attitude. Although nature can influence people in a bad way, it ultimately allows one to see both the good and bad within themselves; therefore, people should look for change in themselves within nature.…
