  • Essay 1

    1806 Words  | 4 Pages

    In “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, the narrator attempts to understand the relationship between humans and nature and finds herself concluding that they are intertwined due to humans’ underlying need to take away from nature, whether through the act of poetic imagination or through the exploitation and contamination of nature. Bishop’s view of nature changes from one where it is an unknown, mysterious, and fearful presence that is antagonistic, to one that characterizes nature as being resilient when faced against harm and often victimized by people. Mary Oliver’s poem also titled “The Fish” offers a response to Bishop’s idea that people are harming nature, by providing another reason as to why people are harming nature, which is due to how people are unable to view nature as something that exists and goes beyond the purpose of serving human needs and offers a different interpretation of the relationship between man and nature. Oliver believes that nature serves as subsidence for humans, both physically and spiritually. Unlike Bishop who finds peace through understanding her role in nature’s plight and acceptance at the merging between the natural and human worlds, Oliver finds that through the literal act of consuming nature can she obtain a form of empowerment that allows her to become one with nature.

  • Helper And Help: The Definition Of Help Or Help

    1102 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Webster Dictionary defines help as, “to give assistance or support”, “to make more pleasant or bearable”, “to be of use to” or, “to change for the better”(MW, n.d.). However, I think that help is a much broader term than these definitions imply. Help is on a spectrum and can include anything from holding the door for a stranger, to donating a kidney for someone in need. I think that help can simply be defined as an action or doing that betters a situation for at least one of the subjects involved, although I do recognize that this includes a very wide variety of situations and circumstances. I like to think of help as a venn diagram, with three categories. A basic situation involving help includes a ‘helper’ and a ‘helpee’. On the right

We should all have compassion in our heart, understand another’s feelings or emotions. When I was shopping the other day, I saw a young lady helping an old man in a wheelchair to grab cereals from a shelf. She would gently describe all the boxes on the shelf. Then ask which one he would like. After the old man decided, the young lady grabbed the box and handed over to him. The old man took it over with his trembling hands, and he kept saying. "Thank you.” It was a heart-melting moment. She could have ignored the old man, but because of compassion. She lent a helping hand to him. We help elders to accomplish trivial things, such as opening the door and grabbing things they can’t reach. At the same time toddlers also treat other toddlers with compassion.
