5-6 page essay
For your first paper, you will explore the definition of nature (or, if you prefer, wilderness).
Consider what nature means. What are the characteristics of nature? How does nature look, feel, sound, smell, taste? What is nature similar to? What is nature dissimilar to? What distinguishes nature and makes it unique? What does it mean for something to be considered nature or a part of nature?
Consider also what nature might mean to others. How can you make a case that your definition is the most accurate? How would you respond to those who disagree with you?
Be sure that your paper has a clear thesis statement that you support throughout the body paragraphs.
