“Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.”(EO Wilson, biologist, researcher, naturalist and author.) Nature is a great teacher when give it a chance. Nature is calming and relaxing. It teaches us life lessons and skills that we can't develop in the city. By nature, you can see beauty in the ugliest things on this planet. Nature has a way of changing your psychological thoughts. The ideas of nature as a healer and teacher are shown in As You Like It by William Shakespeare, "Living like Weasels" by Annie Dillard, Walden by Henry David Thoreau, and "Urban Renewal" by Major Jackson. In Shakespeare's As You Like It, the court is filled with exile, hatred, jealousy and she turns not so much to learn to live but openly to forget about it. She described that the visual communication between her and the weasel was so strong that "If you and I looked at each other that way, our skulls would crack and fall on our shoulders." (Dillard 2). He believes that the weasel's wild behavior can be a lesson on how we humans should live our lives that leads us to understand the true meaning of freedom. Annie Dillard states that “The weasel lives in necessity and we live in choice.” he's saying that we are slaves to ideas, to the mind, we think too much about the future. We are not truly free like the weasel, what separates us is that we are faithful to its instincts. Dillard suggests that we act like a weasel and work towards “perfect freedom” (Dillard 2) and hold on to our dreams like a weasel bites its prey. It includes a story of how the weasel's dried skull clung to the eagle even after it died. His thoughts and mindset are similar to As You Like It because they both discuss how nature can be a teacher. The weasel thought of Dillard as looking for what you want. He states that “I think it would be well, and proper,/ to seize your one need and not let it go… until your Shakespeare, Dillard, Thoreau, avoided the city to find the solution to their problems. In Major Jackson's “Urban Renewal XIII” he gives you an idea of ​​why they didn't find the answer in the city. Major Jackson stated that his grandfather has been watching the city for “Forty years from a three-story building, / watched the neighborhood, – post-war marble steps, a cleaned Pontiac frontier along the sidewalk, fading into a hood. .." (Jackson 9-12). The city is full of distractions, violence and chaos and you will not be able to find any solution to your problems. Despite all the chaos happening in the neighborhood, his grandfather finds peace in gardening. Jackson says, “He pulls out a heaven of kale and shakes the root earth that cracks like a shadow lost in time. Tomato vines wind in a patch of herbs, far from the maddening caravan of fistfights, horseback riding, drunks,...” (Jackson 23-26). This is another example of how nature can bring peace to a person even in the most urban areas. Mother Nature gave every author a way out, whether it was a place of escape, of knowledge, of love, or the meaning of
