Ms. Walker's essay entitled "Everything is a human being" is beautifully written. She portrays her passionate relationship with the earth well by personifying trees, snakes, and the earth itself. She brings in outside opinions to strengthen her own. I am particularly moved by how she gives the earth a voice. It speaks to and rejects her as part of the Wasichu that have poisoned its body and children. She makes a point of relating the Wasichu to the Native Americans. I believe at one point she uses such powerful language as the Native people 'made love' to the land where the Wasichu 'raped it'. No matter her opinion, or mine, she certainly has an eloquent and powerful way of presenting her argument that doesn't leave much room for debate.
