When Annie Dillard talks about the giant water bug, at first is really surprised me.  I felt that the unfairness of it should have been questioned or maybe some sadness for the frog that lost its life so quickly.  But as i continued reading I grew more of an appreciation for the way she views nature.  She views it not as god or bad or sad but as a cycle and way of life to be respected in whichever twist it took.  The "bad" part of nature that we see is not quite so much bad but we see it as unfeeling and sad.  We just think its bad because we don't like it.  Maybe the frog understands that this is just the way the life cycle works.  We are apart of life; we take and then we give back.  For the frog this was his turn to give bak.  In nature there is no fair or unfair and there is no just and unjust.  Nature is a repetitive cycle that is defined by the rules it follows.  Just in the same way we interact with nature weather we realize it or not.  I really liked the idea someone talked about in class about being buried straight in the ground without anything else, so in that way to continue the cycle with death as well as life.  Life is about interaction not consumption like we in america seem to believe.
