I am, as I write, sitting in the Juilliard computer lab, which is natural a place as any. I am also listening to Depeche Mode, which may seem like a diversion from the task at hand, but I don’t think so. Music is part of most of my visits to the computer lab, [...]

Every since I was born, the strongest force teaching me about nature has been America’s media. Articles, news stories, and T.V. shows have greatly impacted the way I think about nature. I grew up in Maryland, a place with many nature escapes, forests, and wildlife preserves. My exposure to these things has [...]

It is I, Gabriel, who cannot believe that he is blogging. In fact I was denying it so much that I even forgot to put my name on it. That all I wanted to say.

My experience when looking at Marx’s essay on America’s definition of “nature” was that I agreed and identified with some ideas, but other ideas were unfamiliar to me or just not what i’ve experienced in my life thus far. I fell down the middle road, as I do with a lot of 3- sided debates. I think [...]
I Can’t Believe I’m Blogging/Nature as a Verb

Marx writes of nature as a noun. A noun that relates, in some way, to this other noun known as God. The three ideologies that Marx boils the American concept of nature down to all revolve around the phenomenon itself being created and/or neglected by God. The Puritan idea of a hideous and desolate wilderness [...]

Whenever I have heard the word “nature,” I’d automatically think of trees, wild animals, bodies of water, etc. If you asked for another definition, I would define nature as how people act i.e. the human nature. I guess it wasn’t until this class that I had to sit down and specifically examine what “nature” is [...]
My Take on the ‘American Idea’ of nature!~!

I grew up believeing in God and that he was the Creator of all things, including Nature. Once I entered the public education system it was not uncommon for teachers to speak about “Mother Nature” and her having birthed all that surrounded me. I believed that, too! It is only now that I realize [...]

Nature, as an idea, didn’t feature significantly in my childhood, at least as I recall it. I gained whatever early associations I made with “nature” from walks my elementary classes occasionally took in the “school forest,” a parcel of land available to the district. My family also went for walks, but these seemed mundane [...]
