Bambi

My friends and I watched Bambi yesterday afternoon, and I couldn't help but link it to AmCon and the topics we've been discussing lately. We have placed a large emphasis on the natural landscape and how it has impacted us as Americans. We have also analyzed how the country is important to our nation. The scenery in Bambi is absolutely beautiful and stirs in its viewers a desire to take a walk in the woods. The idea of simplicity and relaxation is so attractive to American citizens. It is not uncommon to wish to live in the countryside, without a worry, like Bambi. Still, we understand that there are jobs to do, people to help, and progress to make. I think that we should take more time to appreciate the natural landscape at St. Olaf and elsewhere and remember that is has greatly impacted the formation of the United States and the people who here.
