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.
