Blog #14: Muir #2

I thought this excerpt’s interest was in its description. This was surely one of the more descriptive pieces I’ve read. I loved how Muir describes the Grasshopper and Fly just as much as he describes the Bear. And I have had encounters with bears and can tell you that seeing one in the wild is scary, magnificent, and so much more terrifying that you would ever expect. However, Muir decides that the Grasshopper is more impressive and a better representation of the land. I can agree with him there as well. Sometimes it is the little things that define a place for us. Some of the more common things can mean the most.
