What started with confusion ended with sadness. Although facing reality hurts, Earth is our only home and we have done so much damage to it that if we continue the same path we could be living in a ticking time bomb. I am “pro-nature,” an unofficial term that I do not know if people use but I like to think of it as the love and protection of mother nature. I really enjoyed this reading because Timothy Treadwell cared for and defended wildlife and anyone that protects vegetation or wildlife I admire, also because unlike many readings this reading evokes many emotions as your eyes move through the lines. At the beginning of the reading, I was troubled by Treadwell's decision to walk away from everything and move to someplace remote, someplace

Shooting the Wild

...A ratio of more than one in ten people are on antidepressants in America and The World Health Organization predicts depression will be the second greatest cause of ill health globally by 2020. It is also predicted that billion* dollars is the amount of money the animal film industry will make in year*. What do these two have in common? Studies have shown that people become happier participating in nature and animal conservation activities. In Chris Palmer “Shooting in the Wild: An insiders Account Of Making Movies In The Animal Kingdom” Palmer reveals the business of creating a wildlife film to convey a conservation message and some of the darker tactics used in deceiving the public to emotionally be inclined to take action. This study will take a close look at how two documentaries “Arctic Tale” and “Grizzly Man” relate to conveying a message to save the animals and how it contributes to depression in humans and how they differ between their methods of practice.

Describe The Differences Between Herzog And Treadwell

...To me, it seems that Herzog has a lot of respect for Treadwell and what he did. I think that Herzog acknowledges that his methods weren’t perfect, but, he does so in a respectful way. I think that Herzog saw Treadwell as someone who was determined and someone who did have pure intentions. I do think that Herzog also let the footage mostly speak for itself, only adding commentary when he saw fit. He interviewed Treadwell’s parents and individuals who disagreed with what Treadwell did, and I see this as being one of the ways that he tells viewers that there are two sides to the story. He met with experts about the hunting of bears. This was another piece of information that allowed viewers to decide if the bears did need someone watching over...
