How does "Buffalo for the Broken Heart" fit into the larger "nature writing" canon?
The book fits in because of all the land use he writes about. He writes a lot about the scenery around his land and what lives on the land. He also writes about what he has to do to maintain it which is very much like what my group is doing for the Casey Project. We are trying to figure out how to restore then maintain a prairie and he is working on maintaining his land for his animals.
How does O'Brien relate to his environment?
He relates to his enviroment by living on the ranch and being around it all of the time. He likes to see the wilderness that lives around him. An example would be the falcon, he really likes the bird and uses it throughout the book. He would also rotate the cows early in the book to keep the land as fresh as it could be.
If you were to make one suggestion to O'Brien, regarding his land use, what would it be?
I don't have a suggestion because I have never lived on a ranch so I think that he would know what he is doing more than I would.
