What I Lived For Analysis

For as long as humans have existed, we have evolved significantly thanks to nature and the wild. According to Darwin’s theory Survival of the Fittest, is based on how we've evolved in nature to become the people we are today. In a span of five hundred million years, it seems reasonable to believe we have grown in numerous ways, such as intelligence and shape, through survival. It’s hard to imagine four billion years ago particles of this earth collided together randomly to form proteins and DNA molecules, which somehow grew into single-cell life forms. Nature will always be a vital part of human existence, so it would make sense that it is still very beneficial to human’s well being. I believe that nature is everything that was put on this

The author mentions, “ I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and to see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discovered I had not lived,”(Thoreau) This quote transmits a very powerful message; he wanted to live with nature and to seek what it had to teach. He realizes that living in a modern and crowded life was not adequate for him and suggested perhaps living with nature would allow him to his content. Thoreau goes into the woods to live because he wants a simpler life. He will be closer to nature and the woods will allow him to genuinely live his life, he didn't have to worry the modern fast paced life and has more time for self-discovery. I truly admire his mentality about living away from the city and giving the simpler life a chance because it demonstrated respect and trust towards nature. Thoreau commits his time towards nature to seek the value of life, wisdom, and beauty that it is filled with. I cannot relate to the author and his mentality towards nature, however, this quote has really opened my eyes on a deeper level. Every year, when my family went camping, I opted not to go because I am afraid of the woods and exploring the different sides connected to nature. However, this

The modernized world’s view on the environment is very different from that of the natives. For instance, the white man takes any piece of land just like any other “one portion of land is the same to him as the next.”( Seattle ) On the contrary, the native people differentiate every piece of land for its purpose and have respect for nature. In fact, the white man has built cities in the name of modernization, hence pollution to the environment. In my point of view, the author has a firm argument, which I concur with in regards to the antagonizing views of the white man and the native people. The climate change in the world all over has been brought about by industrialization. It has had a negative impact on wildlife to the extent that some parts of the world have become uninhabitable for some species. In some cases, wildlife, such as lions, has begun to lose their natural fur. For instance, the lions in the Kenya have lost the fur around their neck due to the drastic climatic changes in their respective geographical areas. I believe humankind is complimented by wildlife since this is in line with God’s purpose of creation. In addition, a man was given the responsibility to take care of wildlife and treat it with respect. It would be very disheartening to lose the beauty
