Emerson has contributed significantly to the amount of knowledge in various forms. I

acknowledge that nature has a direct contribution to the growth and existence of men, whereby

the best way to interpret nature is by analysis of the connection between man and the

environment in addition to various perceptions by each individual. Man has to genuinely

understand all the concepts of nature from the past, present, and contemporary issues, such that"

there are new lands, new men, and new thoughts.”. the aspect opines to the fact that there is no

major relevance of rigidity to the past where there are chances of reviewing new ideas in the

contemporary nature.

Nature entails the spirits. They include wisdom, love, power, and reigns to the present

since spirit is the driving force of nature. The character Emerson creates has a different opinion

on the relationship between man, nature, and spirit. I approve that the character has a major

comprehension, a better consciousness, and a relevant connection between community and

nature (Otten, 2020). Purposefully the character is a mind opener as he acts upon his thoughts,

and the others remain different according to their thoughts. Man becomes a tool to help

individuals understand the simple meaning of nature.

Emerson agrees with Plato's ideas on the closure of humankind to nature. Man has to

depend on nature in a pastoral manner, whereby It grew different after colonial rule. Nature is

man's godmother since it still entails beliefs and religion. For instance, the pagans opine that an

organized environment is being close to god since nature and god nature are related.
