Taylor begins the story in awe of the woods and nature. There is a little sadness as she looks at the tree, knowing she will "never see this tree whole", since it has been split by lightning. In the middle, Taylor's exploration is focused on the bird; she is frightened of the bird and its beak that could "rip the nose off" her face, but concerned about it and interested as well. At the end, she becomes lost and afraid, because she doesn't know where she is.
In "Walden; or Life in the Woods" Henry David Thoreau tells us about what is like to live a simple life in the woods. His nearest neighbor is a mile away and there is no house is visible from where he lives. He lives far away from society but feels no melancholy "There can be no very black melancholy to him who lives in the midst of Nature and has his senses still." He doesn't feel lonely or oppressed by solitude, moreover, he feels Nature's friendship and support. When he is asked if he is lonely he is tempted to reply that the whole earth is a point in space, and in the Milky Way. What we really need, is not to be near many men but to live close to the source of our lives. “How vast and profound is the influence of the subtile powers of Heaven and of Earth!”
