I definitely agree with your observation that Dillard’s writing is a strange combination of mundane and more outlandish facts and thoughts. Her stream-of consciousness form of writing is very unusual, especially […]

It’s interesting that you notice a sort of disparity between what you know to be true and what you imagine to be. At the end here, you say you were pretending, which indicates that at some level you already knew […]

I was a HUGE fan of Bill McKibben and how he portrays nature in his writing. He addresses the many impacts that the human race has on nature. He has no problem blaming himself and the human race as a whole for a […]

I like how you make a personal connection with McKibben, you have a great little description of your backyard. You could have used the quote in the end about how the world inside is the same as outside earlier in […]

Me gusta los gatos mucho. porque son muy graciosos y pequeñoes. Pero, a veces, los gatos pueden grow muy grande por qué no les gusta hacer ejercicios. No tengo ningunos gatos en mi casa, pero mis amigos tienen a […]

Although Edward Abbey may not always depict the use of nature in ways that others would like, his honesty about the areas that he deems ‘not as natural as before’ intrigued me. In the beginning of Desert […]

My Wikipedia article is on the Common Alternative Revolutionary Force, the disarmed political party that is FARC. The notes I received on my proposed edits were to add more sections and background perhaps, as well […]

I never thought of Dillard’s writing style in this way! This is spot on with how I feel about writing papers sometimes. I find myself structuring content and approach around how many words or pages I need to meet, […]

I will take Fish’s advice to include a history about Cobra Mansa’s history that gives insight on his influencers. Although the article includes the names of those who have influenced Mestre Cobra, the article is […]

The advice I received was too elaborate more on the information I was adding and use sources that were relevant to the information I wished too add. As well as adding a section on the origin of Macumba, and […]

My peer reviewer mentioned a few things about my sources which I think are incredibly important. Dr. Holt noted that two of my sources are not very scholarly though they have interesting information. My peer […]

I like your piece about Dillard’s book. I agree that her use of language is masterful, and it certainly sucks the reader into the book. I think it is good you have cited a specific example from the novel in order […]

Learning points
The feedback I received on my wikipedia talk page was extremely helpful. My evaluators made recommendations that I make my intended changes and plans clear from the onset. Initially, I had gone […]

I’d thank to thank my peer reviewer for their feedback. I only had one peer review and many of their comments were about my writing style. I will improve my grammar and sentence phrasing to make it easy to read. A […]

Hey Emma,
To answer your question: so far I’m not sure if Abbey’s writing style will affect my own. I’d have to say that I haven’t read enough yet to really know. The opening moments in “Desert Solitaire” are […]
Emma commented on the post, To Walk Alone, on the site The Nature of Nature 2017 8 years, 10 months ago

Your writing style is beautiful! I especially loved the way you describe waking up, it gave me an image in my head if waking up cold on a grey morning. I was wondering how Abbey’s writing effects your own. Do you […]

I agree with your comments about industrial tourism. I realize that it would be best to experience the national parks on bikes or just by walking through them, but I also see how that can be unreasonable. When I […]

Although I only received one peer review edit, the opinion was quite helpful. Joseph stated that my plans were very descriptive. He also agreed with me that there were a few examples of plagiarism already on the […]

First, I want to thank my peer reviewer! I really appreciate you taking the time to read my ideas on improving the article and giving me feedback for it. The person who reviewed my ideas of improvement ag […]

The additions that I will make to my Wikipedia article are central around the success of the brand, Havaianas. As a result, both of my peer reviewers suggested that it may be difficult to remain neutral when […]
