HW#7 -- Nonfictive Nature

Please answer the following prompt in response to Virginia Woolf's "The Death of the Moth" (895-897).

How do you see nature? As benign, hostile, indifferent, restorative, or wondrous? An inspiration or an obstacle? In a poem entitled "The Tables Turned," William Wordsworth writes, "Come forth into the light of things / Let nature be your teacher." To what extent has nature been a teacher in your own life? Include in your response your own experiences and compare and contrast them to the perspectives expressed in Woolf's text. (Due 4/30)
