In "The Ancient People" there was a great amount of detail used to describe the Panther Canon. The fact that Collette spent such a great amount of time detailing the appearance of the Canon almost makes the reader feel as thought they're actually there. Such vivid imagery as this reminded me of the art produced by artists like Kahlo, Carr and O'Keefe. Collette really seemed to connect to the scene she was trying to created in her description of the land. Her ability to connect with nature and provide such extensive narrative reaffirms that women have some sort of special with nature and the mothering and nurturing characteristics that come with it. Even in her description the land is given a very gracious and almost regal image.
