1. He drew the contrasts between death and rebirth when he explained that the contact which the new generation of children have with nature is dying. He explained that there is a possibility of a rebirth of wonder and joy where man can begin his meaningful interaction with nature.
Evidence from the text:
My sons may yet experience what author Bill McKibben has called "the end of nature," the final sadness of a world where there is no escaping man. But there is another possibility: not the end of nature, but the rebirth of wonder and even joy.
2. He drew a contrast between being broken and healing when he explained that the bond between the young and nature was broke. He also explained that nature did have a therapeutic effect as seen from some studies. Making it a point to heal the bond between the young people and nature would be beneficial to all.
Evidence from the text:
Yet, at the very moment that the bond is breaking between the young and the natural world, a growing body of research links our mental, physical, and spiritual health directly to our association with nature—in positive ways.
Reducing that deficit—healing the broken bond between our young and nature—is in our self-interest, not only because aesthetics or justice demands it, but also because our mental, physical, and spiritual health depends upon it.

Answer:
There are many common themes, forms, and poetic devices associated with poetry written during the first half of the century. Regionalism, Imagism, Modernism, and the Harlem Renaissance Movement were all very influential and greatly impacted the kind of poetry written at this time. Many poets focused on what they knew of the people and events/situations around them. In his poetry, Robert Frost focused on life in rural New England. Carl Sandburg wrote poetry about Chicago. Poets like T.E. Hulme were influenced by Imagism. Modernism was another movement that influenced a lot of the work produced at this time. Modernists focused on “making it new”. Meaning they aimed to avoid imitating other poets' ideas and expressions. The Harlem Renaissance was another influential movement. Artists, writers, and musicians in Harlem began to work together, expressing their ideas on racial identity, oppression, and equality (among other things) through their respective art forms. During this time, throughout all of the movements, themes of identity and the modern world challenging people's understanding of it. Another common theme was writing local, many writers during this era really focused on creating characters and settings representative of a specific region. With Modernist poetry making up a large number of the work produced during this era, forms and poetic devices tended to be less traditional and more experimental. Often, poets of this time used metaphors, repetition, and personification to create powerful works. Many Modernist poets were straying from traditional forms and experimenting with more modern forms, (such as free verse), and “making it new”. They aimed to be authentic and to make their work their own which meant seeing poetry that was quite different from traditional works. Some poets, however, such as Robert Frost, preferred to stay true to more traditional forms (like iambic pentameter). Poets like Robert Frost, whose work was still representative of Regionalism and Realism, continued to write with more regular meter and rhyme and avoid branching out to free verse and more experimental forms. And some poets simply didn’t adhere to or prefer any specific form, like Carl Sandburg. Sandburg once said, “If it jells into free verse, all right. If it jells into rhyme, all right.”
