Snyder's Themes
After reading multiple of Snyder's poems I still feel his main theme is that we should respect everything. Snyder's poems depict every day objects in a new light. He uses articulate imagery to draw the reader into his poems. The poems then depict the tree or dead animal as something much more than that. The poems make this objects come to life and show the real life value behind these creatures. Snyder wants the human race to understand we are not the only living things out there. We must learn to value and cherish everything or else we will eventually self-destruct.

I agree through the usage of imagery Synder takes a everyday scene and causes the reader to become more observant and aware of it. With these eye opening describtions, comes awarness of actions by humans that shows unconcern or no respect to animals and resources.
