The Beauty of Nature - Jamie
In “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” by Annie Dillard we are painted an extraordinary scene of nature. Her descriptive chose of words she uses keeps the reader in tact as the sail through the article. Dillard describes nature that surrounds her at Tinker and Carvin’s creeks. Her most descriptive part of the article that caught my attention was her meeting with a frog. The frog was very small, but the way she portrayed the frog with its collapsing skull to her comparison of it to a football kept me locked the whole time while reading. Dillard continues to illustrate the nature around her.

As for now, the tree had to settle on the dull, grey snowy days in March. It had to be content with the fluttering snow and wait paitently for the bright, shining sunbeams from the sun.
