       In "Nature and the Environment" by Edward Abbey shows a relationship between an individual with nature/environment. It is about him living in a trailer in the middle of no where, its just him and the living animals around him at least that's what I believe. His relationship is very positive with the animals that surround him such as mice, rattlesnake, and also the two gopher snakes. Although he wants to get rid of the mice the rattlesnake he doesn't kill them since he is a humanist saying that, "I'd rather kill a man than a snake." He wants to get rid of the mice later because they attract rattlesnakes; but then he finds a gopher snake which are rivals with the rattlesnakes and the gopher snake can get rid of both so he keeps in sort of like a "pet." After the gopher disappears, he later comes back with a mate and the man sees them doing somewhat of a ritual dance. When the gopher snakes notice he is approaching them so they leave and he notices that he will never see them again, and let's them go in peace. This is very good in my opinion that he is very open minded, and actually somewhat understands nature, very beneficial indeed.
       In "our universe may be a giant hologram" by Brian Greene is over an idea that the world and what happens to us, is similar to what happens in another universe far from us. What happens to us is sort of a shadow that is happening in another universe, like many times before I have read in articles that we as humans don't have any control over our life's; so I think this is what Greene is also trying to
       Even though they are different to each other, both of the readings have some sort of bewilderment. In "Nature and the Environment" bewilderment is shown in how we humans don't know what animals are thinking/feeling because were not one of them. Just like they can't understand us, nor could we understand them. And this confuses us which is similar to bewilderment. In "our universe may be a giant hologram" bewilderment is being showed in this article is how we are lost in our own universe, we have to understand what is occurring in the other universe which like I said causes us to be lost.
