hat when you die your soul becomes recycled through nature (the ants on his lips) to see that life goes on. When going into the woods to run away he reveals that he is a coward and thus has found out that he has not lived his life at all. Yet, throughout the book, Henry goes through several different phases in his life. These phases signify the "German Confederacy" and his unorganized life. This attitude of nature reveals that it has a common trait between the three other works.In conclusion, nature, in man's eyes, comes in many forms and sizes. Nature could be viewed many ways in the eyes' of man. The view that I agree with the most is the note of Bryant. He believed that when one man dies, his body is precipitated along with his soul, in nature. I tend to believe that when a man dies he takes a part in the life of nature. Works CitedBryant, William.
