Question

Which best describes both Whitmans and Dicksons view of nature

A. Nature should take the place of god

B. Nature divides people from each other

C. Nature offers inspiration and meaning

D. Nature is intentionally heartless

Answer 1

C would be the most correct answer. Both Whitman and Dickinson were heavily inspired by nature and their surrounds, and felt that it could give meaning to almost anything. Whitman, for example, was an ardent environmentalist even before the term took its common connotation, and was heavily moved by how spending time in a communal sense with the natural world could be of a human benefit.
