The speaker recalls an adventure he had as boy where he strolls through the woods, a “heart aimless as rifle, boy blankness of mood” (3). The simile emphasizes the innocence of youth and the idea that children find satisfaction in simply exploring without any intention of finding a specific location. As the boy continues to wander he passes a gorge with “foam white on/wet stone, stone wet-black, white water tumbling” (7-8) The alliteration provides a rhythm that imitates the flow of the stream as it trickles through the rocks which increases the vividity of the image of the gorge.

For years, man and nature have coexisted in harmony, but in recent years, man and nature have become increasingly disconnected, as air conditioning, GMO’s, and other innovations have been made to combat the natural way of life. Some people, such as Christopher McCandless, wish to be one with nature again.

He finally begins to see the importance of these emotional connections, that have been limiting him and have made him emotionally blind to what he can truly experience by opening himself up.

Again, Orwell skillfully delivers every single notes of pain to the readers, using remarkable physical description, to juxtapose the language with inhumanity of the “murder” of the elephant.

I no longer eat alone — if the imaginary friend was considered a human entity— for lunch, but with actual friends in parallel space. This time, the leap of faith I was inspired by my friend made me become an astronaut to explore the other side of the moon as the world would put it; the side I had been all this time feeling too overwhelmed and afraid to embrace. The denial of a greater self I am entitled to have, and the very lies of the Serpent which made me believe it was my personality issue that opened the Pandora’s box to many emotional wreckage and unparalleled measure of neuroticism.
