a comparison of the texts we have studied thus far during this unit, Self and Nature.
Be sure to include as a part of your analysis of each piece the way that text addresses the title of this unit. What is that text saying about our “self” and its interaction with “nature”?
Answer the following questions:
What do these four pieces of writing have in common?
Which one did you prefer?
What role does the “self” play in the natural world?
Suggested set up for this:
-An introduction that discusses the unit in general.
-a paragraph about each text (I’m asking about five)
-Conclude by saying which text you prefer and why nature matters.
