When reading the text “Down the river”, by … Abbey, it becomes very obvious his constantly changing tone. When the topic of a sentence or a paragraph is humans, he sounds resentful and uses obscene words to better convey the way he feels about the human being and human activities, “… the domestic routine (same dreams every night), the stupid and useless and degrading jobs, the insufferable arrogance of elected officials, … , the foul, diseased cities we live in … what utterly useless crap we…

I agree with Callarman’s argument. Chris McCandless was a top student and athlete at Emory University. He graduated and already had a great career set for him. He had no business going into the Alaskan Wilderness. Why he went into the Alaskan Wilderness? I don’t know. He just made his decisions based on his arrogance. I don’t think he made the best decisions when he was on his own, but they were the decisions he wanted to make. He…

In brief, both Aristotle and Dante believed that man has a natural desire for the knowledge and that his love for the truth is imprinted in himself since his birth. Afterword, Dante reinforces this concept in the Divine Comedy: "That mortal, who was at his birth impress /So strongly from this star, that of his deeds/The nations shall take note. His unripe age/Yet holds him from observance; for these wheels." (Paradise XVII, 75-78). For Dante man, who is impressed at his birth, has the duty to…

influence over how they dress or act. When you take a step back, you realize that society has actually taken away the idea of being who we truly are. They have advertised how to be the ‘perfect person’, but it doesn’t have to be like that. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, “ to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Emerson wanted people to know that is okay to be yourself, to stick out in the crowd. People are easily…

Ralph Waldo Emerson was a 19th-century American Transcendentalist poet, philosopher, and essayist that has shaped America’s society as it is known today. To most he has been the primary figure in American thought since the Colonial time period. Emerson’s philosophies were based on the human reliance on intuition to understand reality.

Henry Thoreau and Ralph Emerson both present strong morals in their essays. Thoreau completely cuts himself off from society for two years. In these two years he learned that people are too materialistic, and believes people do not understand what is truly important. He thinks that we are living how society tells us too rather than understanding what we are actually doing. While Emerson never completely disconnected from civilization, he also conveys ideas about the importance of not being a…

1) Have a look through this chronology of Whitman's life and note 3 incidents you find particularly surprising, interesting, or baffling. Discuss. I was surprised that he quit school, but was still very successful. He was also fired or quit his job editing the Daily Eagle. His life had many ups and downs. Whitman was very depressed from everything going on. Something interesting was that he denied a marriage proposal, which could’ve been because he was depressed. He had a paralytic stroke twice…

“You live as long as you are remembered” this is an old Russian proverb which has stood the test of time and has been used to describe those who have long since passed, but still make as big as an impact as they do today as they did when they were alive. For as true as this is, the question remains who exactly is remembered and if so why are they? Does history remember those who wanted imbue others with fear or those who wanted to inspire others to do great things? Between the two who is…

“Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.” Emerson, through the quote, was trying to express to society that it preferring everyone to be the same takes away the personality of its individuals. Society wants everyone act the same, dress the same, talk the same, do the same things. Everyone should be the same so that nobody is deemed weird. This takes away “the manhood of every one of its members” because it goes against individuality and causes people…
