"In This Our World" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a compilation of poems and thoughtful contemplations from the late 1800s that examines ideas like the environment around us, thinking about why we're here, what society expects of us, and what it means to be human while also often talking about what women deal with and dream of. Through its many different ways of looking at things, it highlights the good and bad parts of being alive, showing how everything is connected and how important it is to know where you fit in. Starting with an introduction that shows a detailed mix of thoughts and feelings, the initial poem, "Birth," expresses a deep thankfulness for life and being, celebrating happiness from being alive; and this showcases, a journey from being trapped to freedom to connection with everything. After that, "Nature’s Answer" provides a serious view of living suggesting that we learn from pain and loss, mixing life’s beauty with its difficulties. These early parts create a thoughtful mood, making people think about what their circumstances really mean and the common truths that bring us all together.
