The Wendell Berry piece was interesting. It seems that he was angry about something and that he wanted to get a message out. He wanted to tell people to change their actions and it seemed like his goal was to get people to be more friendly to the environment. The way it was written is poetic and while it helped drive the point, it also made it confusing sometimes with the language.
Knowing our Place is about just that, knowing our place. Barbara talks about the little hollow she lives and how she is known by everyone, a place she can be in nature, and a place she can be in peace. Her message is that we should protect nature for all the good things it brings us. She claims that we need wild places. I agree with that statement and I believe we shouldn't forget about how much nature effects our lives. The title fits perfectly as we should know our place in the world.
