                Today in classroom or should I say outside the classroom we adventured out to the world of nature. Our objective was to write about how nature makes us feel and how romance is the focus of emotion not logic. From the 18^th century into the mid-19^th romance was the prominent in literature. As an example of the difference between the two Mr. Rivers compared the PSAT’s as logic and Walt Whitman who wrote “Leaves in the Grass” in 1855, a piece that was written from the heart not the brain. For our assignment I wrote: When I was immersed in the nature which we call the football field I noticed how the changed leaves were painted across the hillside, or how the warm sun filled my heart with false hope of summer dreams. The fall breeze carries you back in time to one of those moments where you are running and nothing can stop you. the Autumn air reminds me that the end is near. For all the plants and flowers that my parents planted in the spring will be now lost to the first frost.

It hard to believe that a hundred years ago people where consumed by the beauty that is nature instead of being tec. Crazed zombies who don’t appreciate much that isn’t inside their phones.  As time has turned the format of righting has evolved from romance to more of a logic based narrative which is devoid of the passion of the heart.
