but every hour and season yields its tribute of delight; for every hour and change corresponds to and authorizes a different state of the mind, from breathless noon to grimmest midnight” (Emerson). The quote “an occult relation between man and the vegetable” (Emerson) allows the reader to understand how man and the vegetable are both living therefore connecting to each other. To conclude, one needs to stay connected with nature because it evokes one of the most important emotions: happiness. The passage by Ray Bradbury and the essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson can be analyzed in the following ways: how Montag’s journey into nature connects to the one described by Emerson, and how the man and vegetable relate. Stepping away from the screens truly allows one to realize how important it is to never forget to interact with nature.
