Whitman is saying that the true way to understand nature is not scientific but intuitive and mystical. The poet can feel and understand the processes of nature when he is experiencing them, but listening to people lecture about them merely makes him "tired and sick."

Answer: Beauty and the Beast

Explanation:

While Snow White includes many components that illustrate the idea of beauty is more than skin deep, Beauty and the Beast most effectively demonstrates this because the Beast is a true prince in disguise. Snow White is always a beautiful woman, with a kind soul. The only time she struggles with seeing beneath the surface is when the Evil Queen poisons her, and even then, the queen isn't dressed or disguised beautifully. In Beauty and the Beast however, the hideous monster that Belle thinks she will never be able to fall in love with, turns out to not only be the handsome prince of her dreams, but also is a truly wonderful soul that she falls in love with on its own.

Answer:

Globe Trekker, one of the most successful TV shows of recent years, is a TV series featuring exciting documentaries about travelling around the world. A team of hosts called to travel to exotic places and provide viewers with a taste of life in that part of the world. The hosts interact with locals and take part in their daily lives, visit the sights, find out about the history and culture of the place and taste traditional cuisine. The show is addressed to tourists of all budgets. However, Ian Wright, one of the most popular hosts, says that you don't have to stay in costly hotels to enjoy a trip to a foreign country. Staying with local families is a great way to get additional information about the country you are visiting not to mention much cheaper than staying in a hotel. Globe Trekker has enjoyed popularity for more than fifteen years, and its hosts are likely to continue trekking the globe for many years.

Hope this helps!
