Nature

By reading the writing of Nature by Emerson I was inspirer to the idea of being open minded to the way nature works. Form the way the nature has everything in a order form from a seed becoming a pant to that plant becoming a tree to that tree dying and become the fertilizer of the ground by this showing me how the world cycles and how it need to be there birth for it to be death in this way you can see that no matter how big a tree it can be it will died one day.


In the passage they said “The stars awaken a certain reverence, because thought always present, they are always inaccessible.” When they are talking about this it shows how we all ways get impress every time that we see a star its like if it was the first time that we seen one. And how even sins though we have been studding the stars we still look up and wonder if they are there. In one way it shows us that we are berry nosy in some way that we all ways ask our self why who where and how.


From Self-Reliance

In passage done by Waldo Emerson it says “Trust thyself. Every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine Providence has found for you; the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being.”


In this passage I feel if it is saying that every man should trust them self’s in making their own decisions because your first guest is always right and that your heart will guide you in the right direction. To me this is not some thing new this I usually what every men talks to his son in that point of life telling them that you walk the road of life and if you would trip you would just have to stand up and keep going and to always keep on the right path.

Resistance to Civil Government

In this passage the part that mostly stood out to me is when Mr. Henry David Thoreau is talking about the soldiers. The reason that this got my attention is because I wanted to be in the Marines when I was in my freshmen year in high school. I had already had an interview with the some Marine representative and sins I was already taking JROTC for three semesters and all I needed was to be 18 years old. But as time past I notice how the U.S. was getting a negative opinion of the Latin community it all started after September 11 they treating Latinos as if they we ware the Terries when all we have done is come to a country to find a better way of life. Even though so many Latin Americans had join the army and ware in Iraq an back home there families ware being invited by Immigration on was being token out of there jobs just because of breaking a minor law the law of passing to another country with out the permission of the country is the same as the one of one driving with out a seat belt on.
Sow imagine how the soldiers felt when they found out that there families were being separated and that they could not do nothing about is that they ware like shadows in there human body’s that they were just killing machines.


This is an example of Transcendentalism because it shows sow many ways in one it show the immigrant the come to work hard in this country, another is the way the soldiers are and how they feel.

2In the romantic time people’s writing was base in Nature for example in this story we read and heard Mr. Rip Van Winkle spend most of his time in a mountain smoking his pipe.
In a way that they talk about romantic is when they are talking about when he feel asleep in a tree for the longest time ever and then woke up one morning and everything had change his house was not there and his dog was really old.
3 In the poem Thanatopsis it’s directed to lower classes. Its trying to tell them to not be afraid of death, that it something that’s going to happen to every one from king to nobles to lower class people and to the forest are going to end in the ground when they died. There would not be no exception.
Thanatopsis main focus was nature its romantic because its keeps talking about nature
4 In the poem Ropewalk it talking about a guy falling asleep watching the spider spin. He describes the things that he sees in his dream from two women swinging to seeing men with stern faces and seeing men sailing in the fog hoping to find land. The images that stood out more was a man in a room by himself staring at the cracked door as light passes through.
This poem shows is romantic because it describes the man’s dreams by using imagination and nature. In nature he describes the spiders spinning their webs
5 I chose this picture because it shows how it can be nice one minute and harsh the next. This picture is romantic because this ship in nature it depicts normal people. It also usage romantic colors because there is a contrast between the light colors and the dark colors.
