Question

In Wilderness Letter by Wallace Stegner, what's the main argument does he pretend to defend his position? and maybe another argument that he doesn't make, but could have made? For my diversity class question but I'm having hard time understand because english my second language, thank you

Answer 1

Wallace Stegner is saying that there is an ancestral and indivisible relation between mankind and nature, nature being a part of what defines us as human beings. This relation is so strong, that we have the power to sense the wilderness even we have never seen it. Destroying the wilderness is simply destroying an important part of ourselves. Without this part we can function and live normally.
