1. How does the "Buffalo for the Broken Heart" fit into the larger "nature writing" canon? O'Brien portrayed his experienced with the buffaloes as part of nature. He enjoyed watching nature as it goes. For example, just watching the buffaloes wallow through the mud and enjoying their bath. In another chapter he was watching and paying attention to an eagle trying to catch its pray. In context of the class Dan O'Brien represent Buffalo for the Broken heart as a series of experience of racing and observing the buffaloes habits.
2. How does O'Brien relate to his environment?
As the "cowboy" of his land he portrays himself as a tough man and the kind of person no never cares about the nature of the buffaloes and through observing nature he found happiness just watching the buffaloes habits and nature.
3. If you were to make one suggestion to O'Brien, regarding his land use what wold it be?
Half prairie half ranch (American buffaloes viewing and classroom). I think it would be nice to keep the buffaloes but maybe more as wild animals then add a prairie for additional natural effect.
