Nature is Speaking with the voice of Julia Roberts is a powerful message to the public about conserving our resources and taking care of the environment. The main message tells us that humans will die, nature will stay. I believe the message of the video is very empowering and important. It is very important to let humans know that we have limited resources and need to conserve them to the best we can to bert-care for our beautiful planet. The video was effective to the public with the synced images of nature, eerie music, and a powerful voice of Julia
Roberts.
The video is made up of 3 main components. There is Julia Roberts as the voice of Mother nature, eerie music and images and videos of some of the most beautiful parts of our planet.

The music builds through out the video to give a dramatic effect. Strings and percussion with an eerie sound give the viewer more feelings while watching the video. The music draws the viewer in with the eerie high-pitched strings and follows with a high build up with the percussion. This gives intensity to the effect of the video. The viewer now feels locked in to the video. Along with the music, Julia Roberts was portrayed as the voice of mother nature. Her voice was a good choice to use for several reasons. The voice sounds very powerful, she sounds direct, in charge and even threatening. She is monotone, sounds a little upset and authoritative. This voice is the focal point of the whole video. “Mother Nature” states, “I rule, you don’t. This is my planet, not yours. Clean up or die.” This really shows her feeling toward the viewers. She is …show more content…
Both videos are portraying the same message. This message is basically saying “Save the planet, or else.” Both videos use displays of different parts of the earth, with a voice as nature. The difference is that Henry Ford is “The Ocean,” and Julia Roberts is, “Mother Nature.” Both are speaking to humans and using threats and facts to scare the viewer to want to take better care of earth. Henry Ford threatens that he will cover the earth again with the ocean again like it was before. Julia Roberts threatens that she can starve us. She states, “I have fed species greater than you, and I have starved species greater than you.” Both are using the pathos effect. With the voices, they do differ in tone. Harrison was graveling and was more mincing/threatening. It was comparable to Bisidan, also known as god of the ocean. He sounded more so annoyed, rugged and monotone than Roberts was. Roberts was more of a powerful tone. Both of the two used the logos approach in stating that they are both wise because of how long they have been on the
Nature Writing is born out of love, appreciation, and wonder. It discovers its voice in the connection between man and the natural world (Harton). Conceivably the most American style of writing, it rejoices in America’s wilderness while it grieves America’s greed and exploitation of the environment (Johnson-Sheehan and Stewart). Nature Writing beckons us, with the intention of awakening our spirits. It stirs our souls, touches our hearts, and inspires our minds.
The music in this video appeals to the audience emotions. The purpose of having this fearful and overwhelming music is to cause the audience to feel scared or to actually pay attention to what is said. I am sure that if there was no music in this trailer the argument of the media would have been less effective. The music is changed when the trailer moves into to the decision that could change the cultures perspective towards women. The tone of the music changes to a more energetic and hopefully version. Now, that the audience is listening the provider adds captions and wording in the trailer. The choice of wording in the trailer is influencing the majority of the audience to feel guilt and hatred against the news media. The media is shown as the enemy which causes the audience to make a decision based on their feelings towards the media. Although, the trailer does mention women can make a change and the news media can be a positive influence if used by the proper people. The images that are shown can be hurtful and hard for some viewers to
In the novel “The Natural” written by Bernard Malamud Roy Hobbs is a man that is terrible with making good decisions for himself as well as learning from his mistakes. In the film version of the movie directed by Barry Levinson, the viewer is exposed to a Roy Hobbs that is the exact opposite. Movie Roy shows the viewer how a mature professional baseball player is supposed to handle himself and how to go about life. Overall the two differences in character are very profound and speak volume to the differences that movies and books have. Roy Hobbs is a different character in the book and in the movie and it shows by his decision making, rational responses and how he handles certain situations.
Man v. Nature is one of the overriding theme in many of Terrence Malick’s films. In movies such as Badlands and The Thin Red Line Malick uses the theme man v. nature. In the movie Badlands Malick has Kit and Holly living in the the middle of no where. Kit and Holly had to rely on nature to survive. In The Thin Red Line there are many shots that show the beauty of nature. The theme man v. nature is most evident when they are trying to take back
Many live attempting to decipher the riddle of life. What is life? What is the purpose? What makes? Even though we only seek happiness why can’t we ever seem to achieve it? When we do reach happiness why can’t we seem to grasp it and hold it for more than the few short hours that pass like seconds? The question we must answer first is “What makes happiness, true?”
Structurally speaking, both speeches are similar in almost every way, both recall a struggle of the past, both express the love both respective men share for America, and both advertise their respective presidential candidates. It’s the simple things that set these two speeches apart such as Obama referencing Abraham Lincoln and Schwarzenegger referencing his character in the movie “The Terminator”. Although both criticized, Obama was more implied and directed towards America in a subtle manner while Schwarzenegger was more direct to the other party, the democrats. Both had to deal with being racially different although it’s evident that being racially different was a more difficult task for Barack Obama due to being an African American. Both men in the end tried to impact the lives of their audience the same way their lives were impacted by America.
...rch has written great adventures into our journey, it may spell our doom as well. While this lesson is powerful in itself, there is another more powerful and more deeply embedded in the story’s flesh: that of nature’s ability to connect. Nature connects the elements that constitute the earth, it connects ecosystems and people and their environment. Most importantly, however, nature connects us with ourselves.
he concept of nature is elusive, and humans have never had a positive and unified way to name and interact with it. Since the colonizing of America, many leaders have had different definitions of nature, and have held different views on humans’ relationship with nature. These views have often led to destruction masked as “progress” (Marx 14). But not all definitions of nature are so destructive. Ursula Goodenough, a biology professor at Washington University in St. Louis, wrote The Sacred Depths of Nature to create a new religion based in the physical, chemical, and biological laws that govern the universe (Department of Biology). Goodenough’s treatment of “nature” illustrates her unique interpretation of the word. Goodenough understands the word nature to mean life, and life means biology. She uses this definition to inspire humans to care for the world we live in. And while she recognizes that humans can be separate, she also shows how much a part of nature we truly are. Recently, a proposition has been made to define First Nature as biophysical and Second Nature as the artificial (Marx 20).
“Harrison Bergeron” does a better job at presenting the shared theme of both works which is: equality can never be achieved. “Harrison Bergeron” goes into greater in depth with details than the film does.
When reading the two passages, I came to an understanding that they both spoke on justice. Richard Nixon touched on his political background and thoughts of remorse he feels for having to leave office. It states in passage one, “To leave office before my team is completed is abhorent to every instinct in my body.”(Nixon) This passage reflects on how he regretts his mistakes and owns up to them. While, Ford talks about how he’ll do what he can in his power to make this nation great. Ford had stated “There is an American tragedy in which we all have played a part. It could go on and on and, or someone must write the end to it. I have concluded that only I could do that, and if i can, I must.” (Ford) He puts the nation trust in his hand and gives a vow not to let anything tragic happen while he is president.
...ollution are depressing. Wetlands appear to be protected in the United States, but are still being destroyed by over development and pollution. I was a little shocked to see the amount of water the private water companies have bought rights to world-wide. I was even more shocked to learn the amount of water rights the private water companies had here in the United States. Many areas in the United States has outsourced our water to private companies already. Privatization is not just a problem abroad, it is also happening here at home. I believe the film would be a great tool to change people’s attitudes in the more developed nations that take water for granted. The visuals of people all over the world fighting for their basic right to something so simple, yet so paramount to living, such as water should make anyone take a second and think about what they are doing.
To understand the nature-society relationship means that humans must also understand the benefits as well as problems that arise within the formation of this relationship. Nature as an essence and natural limits are just two of the ways in which this relationship can be broken down in order to further get an understanding of the ways nature and society both shape one another. These concepts provide useful approaches in defining what nature is and how individuals perceive and treat

Over the past a hundred years, the people on this earth had been slowly killing nature. Nature is where they come from, and where all happiness truly exsists. Robert Frost was aware of this problem and wrote of nature in his poems to help people realize how important it is in their own lives. Slowly the people have tried to make an effort to save nature, and it is all because of the great experiences they have had with nature. Without nature there would be no peace, science, or beauty in the world. Today there is multiple people who work along with nature and have made a huge influence on how people will treat the earth in the future. Through all the hard work of people like Frost, and modern day people, the earth will be preserved for the future generations to experience nature in the ways of their ancestors.
The power of nature is all around us and can be found almost anywhere. One is able to study nature through experiencing it firsthand, looking at a picture, watching a movie, or even reading a familiar children’s story. I believe that by learning more about nature we can grow closer to God. Emerson states, “Nature is so pervaded in human life, that there is something of humanity in all, and in every particular” (Emerson 508). Like Emerson, I believe that humanity and nature were created by God and we can learn more about the Spirit of God by studying nature. I also see that nature has the power to influence our emotions and actions. I see evidence of this through various landscapes such as the desert, the beach, the mountains and the jungle. I thought about the vastness of the desert during a recent trip to the desert with my class. I think about nature and my love for it when I am scanning through my photo album and see pictures that capture me enjoying the mountains of Utah. When I watched the movie The Beach I was struck out how nature, specifically the beautiful beaches of Thailand, influenced the actions of every character in the movie. Of course it is hard to read a legendary story such as “Jungle Book” and not see what a powerful effect nature and its’ animals can have over humans.
