In the captivity of Mary Rowlandson she sees the wilderness as unwanted. She was taken against her will and dragged through the wilderness with the natives. When you are doing something that you didn't want to do you tend to find yourself not liking what you are doing. Mary cannot find the beauty in the wilderness because it is done against her will. All she sees in being taken against her will is the negativity. Any person doing something against their will would find it hard to think of positive things.
Sylvia on the other hand took full advantage of the wilderness. She is very open to it and positive about it. She looks at it as beauty and something to imbrace where Mary did not. Mary found it to be a struggle to be there because it was against her will. Sylvia openly goes into the wilderness. She looks to it as a friend and something to welcome into her life. Sylvia lives for the wild, and if given the choice I think she may even live in the wild. Maybe, besides being alone, Sylvia would have enjoyed, and been open to being in captivity.
