Abbey's Paradise
After reading the Author’s Introduction and the first three chapters of Desert Solitaire, why do you think Edward Abbey decided to take the job as a park ranger at Arches National Monument near Moab, Utah, about twenty miles away from the nearest human? What evidence does Abbey leave with the reader as to why he does not view this job as lonely but instead he views it as lovely? Which side would you be on: lovely or lonely?
Your responses should be approximately 50-words in length. Be sure to use textual evidence when appropriate. Going over the suggested word count or under that word count is acceptable as long as your response is detailed and direct. Be sure to read the “Scoring Rubric” before posting your response. Also, review your responses for correctness before posting.
Respond often and in a timely manner. It is okay to post a response and then check back days later to see if anyone has responded to you or asked you a question. You will be able to (and expected to) respond to this post throughout the course of the summer.
