Something else about Silko's poem is that it shows how Westerners view other societies. Like I said before, we see the world as something we can conquer and own because we have removed ourselves from the natural world. We "see no life", we "fear the world" and will "destroy what [we] fear", and we "will take this world from ocean to ocean." While many other cultures embrace the natural world, we try to control it.
