When you started digging this poetry, you can sensed the faith in humanity that she try to make it the centre piece of her themes.Most of her poetry is pretty much close to her heart. She been through a lots in her life reflecting her works as a piece of art to the literature student like me. The facts, with her family heritage that close to Middle East's life and tradition makes her feel that she need to voiced her concern and really soil the true meanings of peacefullness and happiness.There's bring us to her next intention as a voice of womens and innocent childs that being involved in what people so called war due to the believe of terrorisms.She “brings attention to the female as a humorous, wry creature with brisk, hard intelligence and a sense of personal freedom unheard of” in the history of pioneer women. Not only that, the sensitive topic like faith in religion, our believes whether you are Muslims, Jews, Cristian, Buddhist or other religions make us think whether all the morality and good deeds that been taught in all religions being practice in our daily life. If there's so, where the heck sympathy and empathy in ourselves? Why there's still war,oppression toward woman and children, misused of power and others displeasure behaviour.Is the more hope or love in this vicious world which what Nye try to say in most of her works?
The essence of her poem, "All Things Not Considered":
I-Faith in humanity
II- Meaning of happiness
III- Woman and child oppression
IV- Faith in religion
V- Morality and good maral values
