Analysis Of Jenny Allen's Essay 'Trouble With Nature'

In Jenny Allen's essay "The Trouble With Nature" she informs the reader that nature is not all fun in games but can be dangerous when it enters your own home. She has also wrote this essay to entertain you on how nature can be found in some places you would never have even thought of.

In her beginning paragraph she states "A lot of people who live in the city like to visit the country to get close to nature" (Allen 1). This quote shows how she is stating a fact that most humans use but for a lot of them it is not true. For city folks they don't really know what true nature is because they don't necessarily have it in their own home as the outdoor folks do. That's technically what she is implying in her statement. My opinion is

claified when she states "Then, once they are in the country, tehy find that they needn't go outdoors to get close to nature" (Allen 1). This proves what i said before, once they go outside of their comfort zone they do not want to be connected with nature because nature itself invades humans boundaries.
Jenny had only one purpose to write this essay and it was to inform and entertain people that nature doesn't respect human boundaries and will do anything to make itself more comfortable.

In her last two paragraphs she explains how even going up to your room and laying in your bed should be a comforting feeling but instead sometimes you are staring at the ceiling and see something else. "While they are staring at the ceiling, they notice that the spider webs now have something suspended in them-small brown balls the size of peas. These, they realize, are egg sacs filled with thousands upon thousands of tiny spiders yet to be born" (Allen 12). This long quote explains how even in your room nature could be with you, city people don't often have this to worry about but when they do they are terrified and take back their statement of wanting to be connected with nature. She also says at the very end "Mother Nature at her most sublime" (Allen 13). This indicates that nature is here to inspire great awe in the minds of humans today and will forever do it. Jenny uses a lot of imagery to inform and entertain the readers about how dangerous and comical nature can be. She shows this in some of my quotes that I reinstated up

above.
Jenny not only wanted to tell us humans about the fantastic mother nature but she wanted to inform us that nature is not all fun and games but can be dangerous when it could be entering your home.
