The
theme of Synder’s poem “Control Burn” (P.19) is to protect the forest. The
Indians used to “burn out the brush every year” to help the trees and grasses
grow, but nowadays, humans as a whole do not pay much attention to the forests
anymore (19). Instead of setting small fires to help the forests grow, large
and harmful fires caused by heat and other wastes are destroying the forests.
In the poem “Bedrock”, Synder praises the
beauty of nature. He tries to remind us the fact that every aspect of nature
has its own beauty, even the bedrock. Earth has given us so much; we should all
start to learn to enjoy it and to love it.
Snyder’s poem “Tomorrow’s
Song” discusses the future of the US, the future of humans, and even the future
of the planet. It talks about what humans have done to earth. People need to
start taking actions to protect the environment. He suggests that we should use
less fossil fuel and start saving energy so that we would not destroy our own
future.
