Reading

Ellen Meloy, “The Flora and Fauna of Las Vegas” (240–249)
William Wordsworth, “The World Is Too Much with Us” (355–356)

Notes

We will discuss the essay requirements, if you have any questions!

To get an idea of the kind of landscapes that Meloy would regularly encounter, check out the DNR sites for Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks. You might also be interested in a picture of the Grand Canyon:
