The Themes Continue

Gary Synder is concerned for the future, and that is evident in his poems located towards the end of Turtle Island. In the sections such as "For the Children" Gary discusses his ideas for change in the future for the children. He has all of this ideas for the future to benefit the lives of the children and hopefully they can live a more sustainable life so hopefully in time their children can also continue a sustainable life. Multiple poems from this section all revolve around the same theme. Gary Snyder clearly discusses his ideas for the future, but continues to discuss that this is for the children, hoping that we would change so that the next generation and our children can live in a healthy environment and lifestyle. If we don't things could go badly and lifestyle would change as resources deplete and everything falls apart.
