Rebecca describes a walk through the landscape. Furthermore, she theorizes various kinds of walking, which include pilgrimages. Furthermore, she historicizes walking practices and links walking to general thinking. Nevertheless, she links political import to the overall acts of walking and thinking. Secondly, “walking has been embodied in the context of motion once in presence with the inner and outer body and mind, which Rebecca captures clearly in her essay” (Solnit, 1998).
Furthermore, the physical wonderings that precipitate the walking acts are essentially what transcends into the purpose of bipedal agility. The essay examines the highest walking levels as an unconsidered and locomotive means, which resonates with meditation and rituals.
In essence, the essay attempts to show that she acknowledges the experiences that shape the imaginative world and how it meanders through various cultures. Apart from my class, the essay may resonate well with individuals who think that walking is an amateur act—walking in many contexts’ trespasses through the lives of many individuals found in literature, sexuality, and architecture. People who also attempt to struggle with balancing daily living with optimum productivity may also find this essay useful to them (Solnit, 1998).

Most of the time, walking is purely practical, and it involves the inconsideration, which in turn makes the act of walking into an investigation a form of ritual and meditation. Furthermore, she makes reference to Bohr and Heisenberg through the context with which their meeting took place. At first, it appeared that their meeting was unlikely since they all appeared vague since there were misunderstandings between them, and so it is in their interaction that they got to know each other (Mehra, 1987).
- Rebecca pulls the reader in the essay to many histories that give birth to a wide range of possibilities of this simple act. She argues that walking is a form of walking for various political and social meanings, and so she homes the acts to everyday life. She walks in her imagination, which in turn enables her to transcend and travel to various places just through her perception.
