Edward Abbey shows a great respect for nature‚ elevating it perhaps above men in his essay "The Serpents of Paradise". He does this on many levels and in several ways. His writing shows awe for nature in his very descriptions. The joy he takes in nature shows itself also in the powerful imagery he uses. It is a very raw and emotive feeling he projects‚ while at the same time in a rational scientific light. His love for the natural world and his elevation of it is powerful and stunning. The writer’s

It was a sort of Indian Cinderella and it was told to me by my grandmother who knew I enjoyed the tales that never seemed to find their way into their own cinematic retelling.
