You have read three texts that explore the relationship between humans and nature. The three texts are:
. a passage from Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, by Annie Dillard
. a passage from Walden; or Life, in the Woods, by Henry David Thoreau
. a passage from "Nature" by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau have had a profound impact
on the genre of nature writing in the United States and have influenced
contemporary writers such as Annie Dillard.
Write an essay in which you analyze how the central ideas in Dillard's writing
have been informed by ideas in the passage from Thoreau's memoir Walden
and Emerson's essay "Nature." Support your analysis by using specific
details, ideas, or examples from each of the texts.
