For my Forces of Nature essay‚ I’m choosing "Of Wolves and Men" by Barry Holstun Lopez.

The use of vivid descriptive details‚ or imagery‚ is utilized by authors to help readers visualize the scene. “Of Wolves and Men” by Barry Holstun Lopez uses this literary device to describe life from a wolf’s perspective.
