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.

Rationalism
1) Two views of God reflected in Johnathan Edwards' and Ben Franklin
The contrast between the Puritan spirit and the spirit of Rationalism can be fairly represented in the different conceptions of the deity found in the writings of the preacher Johnathan Edwards and the widely talented Ben Franklin. Puritans like Edwards believed in a very personal God, one who knew and judged and would punish severely the wickedness of a humanity that was born in sin. It was the proper duty of us all, Edwards believed, to obey without question the will of God as revealed in the bible. On the other hand a Rationalist like Franklin believed that God’s purposes were to be understood by use of the human reason, particularly as guided by scientific laws and truths.
In today’s world, a woman’s right to abortion would be opposed by Puritans as being contrary to God’s teaching; it would be in line with the thinking of Rationalism to allow a woman to follow her own reasonable thinking in this matter.
3) Franklin’s Rationalism can be seen in his description of his attempts at moral perfection. He realizes the difficulties in achieving perfection, but he goes about it systematically and reasonably. First he lists from his reading those qualities that are generally consider to be virtues ( temperance, industry, humility, etc.) then Franklin provides for each virtue some major practical ways by which each virtue can be made into a habit in his life. For instance, under the virtue “Silence,” Franklin provides the “precept” “Speak not but what my benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.”
4) My list of thirteen virtues
Determination
Courage
Honesty
Dependability
Loyalty
Respect
Obedience
Thoughtfulness
Generosity
Patience
Tolerance
Open-mindedness
Modesty
No I don’t think list of virtues are enough to produce moral perfection. Two other necessary things are guidance and example of others. Our actions depend upon not just a list of general qualities but also, I think, upon the help we get from others in pointing the right way an in serving as a model for the kind of person that we would like to become.

Total Depravity or Organic sin

Total Depravity or Organic sin
In this passage of The Puritans I understood that all people ware meant to go to hell. Only the chosen ones would be safe but still God would have you over the fire of hell and you would never know when one day you would wake up to notice you are Know in the fire pit. In the small clip we saw they usage many forms to expressions to explain why sow many people are sin. One of them is the apple of Adam and Eve.
The puritans believe that every one was borne sinner and that there was no way that some one could earn Gods grease. Every one was going to go to hell and only the ones that Jesus decided to die for are the ones that ware going to be save and that the rest no matter what they do they ware going to burn in the blazing fire of hell. You never knew when you were going to be in Hell because you are only being held by the hand of God. God could decide any moment to drop you in to hell sins he is the one that hold you over Hells fire.
You would drop sow into the fire sins you would be as heavy as led that there would not be nothing that would stop you from falling into hell. Nothing that you have done in life would help you or save you from the gates of hell. God looks at us as we look a serpent. He thinks that we are abonation and that his anger at us make him think that why he hold us up from the pit of hell.
This all happen because Adam and Eve eat the apple and every one after that was consider to be in sin and there was no way they could fix that. Because God had given everything to Adam and Eve and the only rule he had told them it was broken. That rule was not to eat the apple. After that he send Jesus to save some people and the only ones that ware going to be save ware the ones that ware call the voice of God. This people would priest and spread the word of God. This persons would make thing there way and if some one would disagree with them they would kill them and tell the people that God had told them to do so.

the puritans belifs
The puritans beliefs
The puritans’ belief was that all humans ware going to go to hell. Because they ware decadence from Adam and Eva and they disobeyed God. Sow by that they are saying that no matter what the humans would do to go to haven he would go to hell. Only God would chose some of the humans that would go to haven. Those persons ware call the profits and they would go around telling the world that they ware the voice of god and what ever they do was ok because God had told him to do sow.
