Molding
of the World
In Lane’s book,
Jose Ortega y Gasset believe where you’re from molds you into the person you
are. Lane’s interpretation of it is, “By
this he implied that place not only has a way of molding personality, but it
serves also as an anchor of human existence.”(Lane 20). I can completely agree with this because
people that grew up in the same areas have very similar values and tendencies. The reason for this is because the landscape
is able to connect to the soul and become part of it. This explains why certain landscapes can be
an anchor to people because it is part of their soul and leaves a part of it
when they leave.
