When Paul Farmer was still in college he had left a fraternity because he felt he could not belong to an all-white party (Kidder, ch. 5).

We can meditate for a moment a day and ultimately change our mindset and decide not to give in to the toxicity around us. Can this be achieved with a constantly buzzing iPhone, a television that’s blaring the latest reality show, and unhealthy pollutants surrounding us? I don’t believe so and this distraction is the premise for the importance of nature.

As a mature writer, Rodriguez knows that the best way to connect with his audience is through the one day responsible for some of their greatest childhood memories -- Christmas.

Ever since its creation, the United States of America has given people the opportunity to speak and practice their own philosophies and religion. As a prime example, transcendentalism is a philosophical and literary movement that gained followers during 1836-1860 that encouraged social reform, self-transformation, and people to rise above their immediate experiences. Developed by Ralph Waldo Emerson and lived by Henry David Thoreau, the essence of transcendentalism was to live life with simplicity and to elevate intuition and imagination over logical reasoning.

However, he also presents the impossibility of replicating certain aspects of human life with the cold and calculated ways already established at a machine’s core.
