This story presents nature as interwoven with life and meaning, not separate from humans. In "The Trouble with Wilderness," Cronon criticizes the Western view that nature must be untouched and distant to be "pure." Like King, he describes how the idea of wilderness being apart from us is a cultural myth. This story of the turtle models this, as a singular world, unmoving, something that Cronon says we must recover in order to live sustainably.

This angers me. Even though she was doing a "man's job", she wasn't given the same title or pay. This shows how stories about gender and race have limited people, but also provide fuel for people to fight back. Stories like this is why we have rights for equal treatment now.

This line resonates with me, and probably a lot of other people. The author describes wanting to escape from his life as a teenager because he felt out of place and poor. This description of wanting to go to Pluto is a way for him to imagine a different life and how he copes with his situation by imagination.

This is probably one of the most important lines in this paper. The author is telling us that stories shape who we are, what we believe, and how we live. In other words, stories don't just describe the world, they create it.

This line is funny but also deep. The question has no real answer, but the idea keeps going and going. It shows us how Indigenous stories don't always work the same way as scientific ones. They focus more on connection and wonder rather than trying to prove something.
