She does this successfully‚ making the relationship

Alaska is so cold that one would need a fire breathing dragon just to warm one up. Alaska makes it difficult to explore and settle because one would have to walk on foot‚ climb steep‚ slippery mountains‚ and cold temperature and constant snow. It is so hard to travel because the snow is so deep and it snows a lot. Do you get tired on a small walk‚ well in Alaska there are no cars or helicopters to explore with.

Transcendentalists took the teachings of the Romanticists to the next level. They not only worshiped nature as God
