The texts have elements of physical journeys (getting from point a-b) and inner journeys which is a journey within us. City of beasts is a text about a young boy named Alex who is forced into an adventure with his Grandmother into the Amazon rainforest.

He talked about how we truly won’t be free until we change the narrative. He spoke about how we must do what is uncomfortable and inconvenient to us to create change‚ to change this narrative of social and racial injustice that we see in America.

These lines are taken from the Robert Frost’s famous poem ‘Stopping By Woods On A Snowing Evening’. Collectively‚ postmodern society has bumbled its way into a seriously secular mentality.

Robert Frost is generally viewed as a poet of nature‚ content to describe milkweed and apple-picking. In fact‚ much of his fame is based solely on his status as a "folk philosopher."

Writing Assignment 1 – Leopold 1 It was not until recently that I have become passionate about my future as a community planner. One of the issues I intend to address as a planner is environmental injustice‚ the disproportionate placement of minority groups in highly-polluted and environmentally degraded areas. Another issue of utmost importance to me is how to protect native species from habitat loss – and ultimately extinction – as humanity advances. These issues are seemingly disparate; how
