If I was the first to solve the poem and find the gold I would probably do what Forrest Fenn did and keep it a secret just because i never been a person seeking publicity.

  • Analysis Of The Trouble With Wilderness By William Cronon

    90 Words  | 1 Pages

    In his 1995 essay “The Trouble with Wilderness,” William Cronon declares that “the time has come to rethink wilderness” (69). From the practice of agriculture to masculine frontier fantasies, Cronon argues that Americans have historically defined wilderness as an “island,” separate from their polluted urban industrial homes (69). He traces the idea of wilderness throughout American history, asserting that the idea of untouched, pristine wilderness is a harmful fantasy. By idealizing wilderness from a distance, he argues that people justify the destruction of less sublime landscapes and aggravate environmental conflict.
