Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. For as long as man has been upon this earth, he has fought a never-ending battle against his most significant rival: nature. Interestingly, however, is the extent to which nature is both friend and foe to the human species, lending its harvests for food, its animals for clothing and its trees for shelter, while at the same time letting man know in no uncertain terms that his presence is forever monitored and dealt with accordingly. Literature has expounded upon these seemingly contrasting elements of the relationship between man and nature, clearly illustrating how people often forget their inherent inability to rise up and challenge nature's great powers. Stephen Crane's The Open Boat and Bret Harte's The Outcasts Of Poker Flat describe the obvious imbalance between what man believes he can confront and ultimately overcome and what the bitter truth of reality says he can accomplish when up against the oftentimes unrelenting aspect of nature.
