Justin Ferry 5

In Making Nature Sacred,
"John Gatta argues that the religious import of American environmental literature has yet to be fully recognized or understood."

I like that quote because I personally believe that the whole American society is that way. There will never be a time that the we fully understand the religious significance in how we view places and anything we come across. When writing about wilderness we do not explain the views of the evidence but from our own personal views and the views of other people. This book also discusses how literature takes us through the feeling of a sacred place and helps us reminisce about certain times. I have experienced that exact feeling through this book as well.
