Refelct:
This week in class, we read and talked about an article called Polemic. The author, Edward Abby, rants about how we put roads through the natioanl parks attracting more motorized vehicles and how we should keep the vehicles out of the parks and use our bodies to get around them and see the parks instead. I agree with Abby because I have a personal connection that I can make to driving in a car through a national park.
I have been to Yellow Stone three times and each time we drive through it to our destination but we never stop and get out of the car. I like the outdoors and I think it's pretty, but being stuck in a car for hours just driving by endless stretches of trees is really boring and that is not how I want to spend my "vacation". I would rather be out there, smelling the leaves and feeling the breeze and sun on my skin. I agree with Abby and say that you really have an experience in nature when you are in it. It's not the same thing to see it at a distance.
