Indigenous people and wilderness

The indigenous people think that wilderness is all around them. They do chants and dances to escape their reality. This is part of their wilderness. They also believe that the nature around them is apart of them. The wild is in their soul and they live their lives in the wilderness. They also use wilderness in their stories to teach a lesson about why they should cherish nature and what nature has done for them.

Wilderness and Religion

To some you may find that your wilderness may be to read scripture to escape the world and go into your widerness. Others may find Religion as a widerness in a sense that it is foreign to them and they do not know it. Most would day that wilderness was created by religion. The wild and the state of mind, since humans were created by God. Religion is also a place you can go such as a church and a state of mind in the sense that you are religious and have faith in your mind. People find their wilderness and calming place in religion and focusing on it, others find it scary and think of it as a wild thing to them. an unknown place to go.

Wilderness in Owl Creek Bridge

Wilderness is shown in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bride" many times. One of the first times you see it in the story is the setting of the story. It takes place in the woods on a bridge which is right above a river. He uses the river to represent his live which I think also represents the widerness he has in his life. He show the river as flowing and passing him by, which in the same way is how he is seeing his life as it is at the end. He sees him life passing by him. Just like wilderness can be a place, it can also be a state of mind. A place in your mide where you go to escape. Peyton does this by instead of thinking of his death he escapes the reality of it and goes to another state of mind by thinking of his family and memories.
