In my paper for modern poetry I argued that in Robert Frost's poetry nature is indifferent to human beings. I have somewhat changed my view on that because yesterday a friend from high school got into a terrible car accident but she was uninjured. According to the newspaper article, her car ran off the side of the road, avoided a head-on collision with a pile of boulders, then plunged down a 40-foot embankment in Snowmass Canyon. A thick stand of trees prevented the car from continuing to the river. I could just be making it up but I think that the trees may have saved her life from the river. I know it was just the placing of the trees but still. she was lucky that they were there. Even though at times nature seems indifferent to human beings, sometimes it does things that shows that it cares about us.
