She uses nature as a prominent theme in her essay to represent the thought of looking past the superficial obvious in order to go deeper to where the hidden beauty rests. Dillard wants the reader to realize in order to observe clearly you have to live in the moment and let go of the knowledge you think you know on the situation. Dillard uses the example of her “walking with a camera vs walking without one” (para.31) and how her own observations differed with each. When she walked with the camera she “read the light” (para.31), and when she didn’t “light printed” (para.31).

Amy Cuddy, a social psychologist speaks about how body language affects us and how other people see us. She has shown how confidence can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain. Social Scientist look how our body language reflects on our judgement. Those judgements predict really meaningful life outcomes such as, who we hire, who we promote or who we ask out on a date.

Rather than giving a long time for the witness to ponder, construct new descriptions of the perpetrator, and thus choose the one they believe seems the most suspicious, they should be given just a few seconds so they must rely on their intuition. This is the speeded confidence procedure, in which they also rate their confidence on the answer chosen.

Knowledge, something that’s necessary for every human being, whether it’s for survival or simply understanding something, is defined as the awareness or familiarity gained by the experiences and familiarity of a fact or situation.
