A Commentary on the Travel Writing of Pierre Jean Grosley and Ramond de

A Commentary on the s comparabilityk Writing of Pierre Jean Grosley and Ramond de Carbonnires Each summer, for the past quintette years, I feel traveled to Savary Island, B.C. to repose my wearied spirit on the mountains, the ocean, and especi wholey on the absence of civilization and the regular amenities thereof. The island is divide the western half submits to residents who wish for large homes and tennis courts while the easterly half (Indian Point) supports those who want to escape from those very things. There are lone(prenominal) a handful of per human beingsent residents on the eastern half and they have built their homes and gardens with a respect and reverence for genius that is rarely gear up in the city, or Savary Shores (the western half). The visitors to the island fit, generally, into the same western and eastern categories all escaping the city, but only some willing to leave the city behind. It is a modern distinction between the tourist and the traveler. It i s impossible to engage with nature without engaging with the people on Savary Island. I have found that encounters with twain visitors and residents, negative or positive, have influenced my be of nature and, in discharge, knowledge of myself. Therefore, the effects of our Romantic Travelers encounters with people (tourists, travelers or native residents) on their experience of nature have interested me greatly. Pierre Jean Grosley and Ramond de Carbonnires travel makeup provides two perspectives (the tourist and the traveler) of both nature and its human inhabitants. How each man engages with the people he meets mirrors the way he engages with his natural surroundings. My desire to go in with the residents of Indian Point place my traveling experiences on par with de Carbonnires... ...gages with nature beyond his initial scientific attempts. He accesses nature, and in turn increases his knowledge of self by engaging with the people he encounters, specifically the shepherds o f the Pyrenees. I find I am able to relate my consume experiences on Savary Island with both of these travelers, although more so with Ramond de Carbonnires. Works Cited de Carbonnires, Ramond.
