1) O'brians writing is greatly connected to nature, in this story he goes into depth about the environment that he lived in, he is very in tuned with the environment and knew what he was doing with the land that he had to raise his heard. he also took on a role of a minor environmentalist, because of his intuition, and his preservation of his land to better his herd.
2) i feel that O'brian relates to his environment by connecting the reader with place, i feel that in this book he does a great job with distracting the reader from reality and furthers him or her into his world of farming.
3) my suggestion is that as a reader at times he seemed hypocritical, he at times came across that way when it came to him criticizing other farmers he always wanted to do things his way and no others he passed on the idea to me that he felt as though he was always right.

wilderness experiences
living in Jamaica i grew up on the country side, i lived in the hills of Jamaica surrounded but sugar cane coconut trees orange mango any type of fruit you can imagine i was surrounded by, this is the type of wilderness i loved. a place where to go on adventures you would have to chop your way threw the bushes with a machete and could take a break and enjoy the lush fruits that could be picked along the way. these are my fondest memories of being in nature and enduring its elements.
