'Humans and Nature\r'

'How Religious imprint Connects with human beingss And Nature ?? Humans’ blood towards temperament is complicated. Phyllis Trible, a head know scholar, mentions in her paper A act in a Text : ecologic Soundings in the Book of jinx that â€Å"theological language is ecological language” (Trible 189). It suggests that widespread religion has a reflection on the relation carry between kind-hearteds’ whim and record. Besides, the two main char phone numberers, Arab and curse, from the movie Moby nib and the religious book The book of jinx, their dissimilar views of immortal are shown in their opp acent actions towards nature. ? In the movie Moby Dick, Ahab, the captain, is the emblem of the pioneers tip in the exploration of the great nature. He ch every digest(predicate)enges the mysterious nature solicitudelessly. Rather than praying to divinity for help when he encounters confronted and unexpected difficulties, he believes that he tooshie ove rcome alone those difficulties by himself and never ceases his expedition. In the movie, Pequod, the whaling enthrall, is caught in a terrible storm. The sails should be order deal for slowing move’s speed in a storm. Starbuck, one of clump member, wants to furl a sail, exactly Ahab refuses.Ahab asks all of his sailors to hold sails tightly. When Starbucks tries to furl down sails, Arab threats Starbuck to apprehension by using an arrow. Ahab firm continues battling with the nature to the end until finally his ship survives in bad weather. â€Å"Ahab called that Typhoon’s bold; stood toe to toe with it and punched away savings bank it hollared ‘quits’! ” (Bradbury 158). Through the whole strife with the storm, Ahab even mocks at what he encounters. â€Å"Oh, how the gods eff playing with us. What’s the point of the game, I wonder?Some quantify I’m on the very edge of knowing-and past they toss me back in the boxful† (Bradbury 158). In Ahab’s mind, he is struggle against graven image, and choosing to congeal his own allow higher up faith. Ahab believes himself above the natural world, and almost a god. This belief lends him world-beater and majesty that attain him battle with nature. ?? In the movie, Ahab’s perseverance on chasing the washrag heavyweight makes him act like a hero, however, his vengeance of behemoth also makes him overstep on the limitation of nature which leads him to the death.To Captain Ahab, the whale symbolizes the bad in the universe: â€Å"He is class of this wicked game that runs man from the birthplace and bullies him into the grave, Moby Dick is perversive ten times over, in a world where evil is common as sea-water” (Bradbury 90). So it is Ahab’s destiny to seize rid of it. In the last part of scenes, Ahab has no endangerment of go throughing Moby Dick, yet he engages in his suicide plan to stab at the whale: â€Å"To t he last I fence with thee! from hell’s heart I stab at thee! ; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee, though call forth whale! Thus! I smash up my spear! (BRADBURY 174). His plan to kill Moby Dick seals the tragic fate for himself and the mob of the Pequod. In the end the whale represents two noble peace and terrifying death. Besides, in the book, Ahab sees the graves of other sailors died in kill whales, and he gets predictions ab by his death from Fedallah. Those things not salutary happen accidentally to Ahab. In fact, it’s the fate already do by graven image try to stop Ahab’s actions of killing the whale. The whale is the gang of contradictions, a symbol of the universes wide and riddle of graven images boundless divine mogul, fate. ? beau ideal controls what we would occupy â€Å"fate” in the casting of the fortune. In The Book of hex, Jonah opposes to graven image’s will and flees away which results in a storm created by the God in his journey. Jonah gets on a ship to Tarshish, and he encounters the storm: â€Å"The Lord, however, hurled such uncultivated winds toward the sea that a powerful storm raged upon it; the ship expected itself to crack up” (1:4). The storm is so powerful that all the sailors start to pray to the God for help. and the Lord, God of Heaven, I morality-he who make the sea, and the dry rural area as well” (1”10). Even though Jonah runs away from the Lord and has no thought for the spiritual condition of his shipmates; his sustenance still brought them closer to God. However, the storm just gets worse. Jonah tells sailors in order to worship God, they plunder calm the sea by throwing him into the sea. â€Å"If you lift me and cast me overboard, the sea will calm its violent against you, for I personally acknowledge that this massive tempest raging against you is on my own account” (1:12).Jonah has no doubt that his rebellion against G od is the puzzle of the storm that threatened to sink the ship they are sailing upon. Hence, mans fear of unexpected natural power and therefore pray to God for help. ?? Contrary to how the unclouded whale drives Ahab crazy which result in Ahab’s death with the whale, the whale in The Book of Jonah changes Jonah’s attitudes toward God and saves him from his sin. God does not put Jonah into death immediately, instead, he sends out a fish. â€Å"The Lord directed a large fish to swallow Jonah.Jonah remained in the belly of the fish three long time and three nights” (2:1). Jonah is helpless in the fish’s belly and starts to regret and pray to God :â€Å" In my trouble, I appeal to the Lord; he answers me… as for me, voicing gratitude, I shall offer you sacrifices; I shall fulfill all that I plight” (2: 10). By singing the thanksgiving song, Jonah starts to be thankful to God and he realizes that he is still connecting with God. God as a m erciful and generous pulp in The Book of Jonah, he saves Jonah from the fish. The Lord spoke to the fish and made it wander Jonah upon dry visit” (2:11). From an ecological point of view, Phyllis Trible clams in her book â€Å" If the verb ‘swallow’ suggest that fish is a hostile purlieu for Jonah, the verb ‘vomit’suggests that the fish is a hostile environment for the fish… In a bulimic exercise the animal of the sea rejects homophile fodder” (Trible 190). This ecological danger recalls Jonah’s inner instincts to God: â€Å" even God brought up his life from the Pit, and to this God he rendered thanks” (Trible 190).In other words, The whale as well as considered to be â€Å"hostile environment”, represents the nature power that given by God. It suggests that adult male should ceaselessly keep their faith to the God, thence, God can rescue humans from the danger and grant their sins. ?? When humans are build ing the alliance with nature, if they are going against nature they cannot get the results they want, instead, if they working along with nature which can actually leads to peace. In the movies, even if Ahab orders his crew to chase Moby Dick again and again, the white whale does not surrender exactly appears to counterattack.It attacks the boats, wrecks the whaling ship and brings much pain to human beings. God’s power and form of justice are shown through nature. God warns human beings that if they still destroy nature unshakably, they will be buried by divine nature eventually. It is difficult for human beings relying on our own insufficient power to win the battle between nature and them. In contrast, Jonah suppose to preach God’s will to Nineveh, however, he is from the country which is defeated by Nieveh, thus he is reluctant to deliver God’s message.God puts Jonah into hostile environment and wants Jonah to learn about perimeter through Jonah’ s repent. Jonah realizes his sin and start to believe God again which results in later God saves his life. His confession to God adequately proves that his humans’ tolerance has persuaded him to give up his enmity. Human beings can get along well with nature and they can keep a harmonical relationship with nature. However, keeping the harmonious relationship must be establish on human beings’tolerance to nature.\r\n'
