"Life's Progress Through the Passions; Or, The Adventures of Natura" by Eliza Fowler Haywood is a journey through the world of feelings as seen through the eyes of Natura, a main character who is trying to find his way through childhood and teenage years in the 1700s. The story follows Natura as he deals with all kinds of emotions and the lessons he picks up along the way. From his first days as a baby, Natura is shown to be a young soul with powerful feelings. As he grows, the book looks at how his family affects him, including the nice influence of his mother and the sharp contrast of his stepmother. As Natura continues to get older, he comes face-to-face with different feelings, and the book takes a thoughtful look at how these feelings grow and how hard it can be to deal with them. By looking at the ups and downs of his life, the story gets you thinking about how your feelings can control your actions and mold who you are.
