Today's Forum - Sept. 7th
My thoughts concerning today's forum simply reaffirm what I had discussed in my previous blog post about the themes in Turtle Island. One of my classmates discussed a poem that he read that spoke of roadkill and how that kind of shocked me, but I would assume that's essentially what the author was going for. But the bigger theme that the poem is going for is how we have intruded upon the habitat of the wildlife around us. That was the poem that we discussed that stuck with me the most.

I can thoroughly relate to Logan's sentiments about "The Dead by the Side of the Road", as it was a poem that strongly resonated with me. Gary Snyder clearly displays how humanity has abused the environment, resulting in an extremely unhealthy relationship with nature. This poem depicts just how dire the animal's plight is, along with mankind's casual disregard for wildlife as a whole.
