An Okefenokee Life

After reading about the Okefenokee Swamp, i found that it's environment seems similar to earth and humans in general. For example, in both passages the author puts an emphasis on the variety of life found in the swamp. From the lush, "dense vegetation" to "diverse and abundant wildlife", humanity relates with it's vast amount of cultures and races. With the plants, they represent the peaceful beautiful side of people in general. Humans are attractive,despite out flaws, and we hold an exotic beauty. But, just like the swamp's animal wildlife, there is always a lurking danger. The alligator is always near. Just like these animals, we "feed off of each other". Humans hurt one  and other on a continuous basis, and cause genuine physical and emotional pain. Humans have the capability of becoming some form of a "hellish zoo". There are some aspects of people that initiate a this zoo. Adolf Hitler is an example of one these "hellish" creatures. Just like the alligator, he is lurking danger in society, waiting to attack and enforce evil opinions. On the other hand, I feel like each passage provides different outlooks on like. The first seems much more beneficial, considering it's positive tone and descriptions. Looking at life in a positive light, despite it's many negative aspects, creates happiness. Passage 2 seems to sulk over the tragic features in the swamp, and that supports it being a "hellish zoo". But, that is no way to look at an abundant platform of life. In a way, i feel like this story encourages different outlooks, and shows the impact each can have.
