Essay plan

For this essay I am planning on using a story/journal layout, similar to what we read early this week. It is also going to follow a similar plot in which I adventure into nature on a backpacking journey to connect with the Earth. I was not able to come to a firm conclusion of which of these fine three authors reflect me personally the best so in my story I am going to skip around a bit, touching back on each of these writers main ideas. Of course I plan to also reflect on the balance of society and nature and how being a conformist is like being a soulless mass of matter. During my trek through nature I will be sure to incorporate quotations from the texts that I feel are both interesting to me and necessary in the situation. Placing what I have said altogether, basically I am writing a journal based upon a fake senario in my life in which I backpack into nature trying to find inner peace, while reflecting upon the lessons that Emerson, Whitman and Thoreau have taught us.
