For a parent, one of the biggest concerns they have for their children is making sure they are ready for their future, whether it would be for college or the working world. The skills that parents teach their children at a young age continue to help them grow throughout their life. However, as young children, they do not need to know how to be capable of everything, but exposing them and helping them practice basic essential skills will help them grow up to be successful adults. In order for…

spread the word of transcendentalism across the United States. These three men were Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman. The views of these men spread quickly and were adopted by many people. These views set the foundation for transcendentalism and during times of civil rights, were strongly spoken by people such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X. Self-Reliance was the idea proposed by Ralph Waldo Emerson in the 1840’s that tried to…

Another topic in Emerson’s transcendental essays was his idea about self-reliance. He believed that if you went out into nature, you would find your true purpose. You would find your connection, your purpose, and think for yourself. There would be no wrong from your mouth, and your actions would hold truth. This is similar in Love Medicine. In the novel, there are two sons of Rushes Bear: Eli and Nector. The American government in this time period made it to where Native American children were…

On March 27, 2015, Facebook and Twitter were inundated with the message “Daundre Barnaby, An Olympic Sprinter from Weaver, Drowns.” When I first read this message, I was heart-broken. I desperately wanted it to be a mistake. As the story continued, Daundre, my dear friend, was swimming in the Atlantic Ocean and was swept out to sea by a strong current. Overcome by grief, my emotions were out of control! I was consumed with anger, frustration, and remorse, and at that moment, I knew that my…

explain Hawthorne’s decision in writing “The Birth-Mark” within a very “narrow” and myopic setting, giving it an almost claustrophobic and suffocating mood. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Birth-Mark” can be viewed as a response, and even critique, to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s ideas about self-reliance, which Hawthorne accomplishes through the voice of his two main characters and through his use of setting within the story. Despite what Hawthorne was trying to tell to Emerson, however, “The Birth-Mark”…

now know as the Transcendentalist movement. This was a critical time in American, and world history which focuses on a human’s application to the wilderness. The three major authors often referred to in American Literature relating to this era are Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, and the greatest of all, Henry David Thoreau. Robinson says, “Two important encounters during Thoreau’s formative years at Harvard College, 1833-37, helped to confirm this skepticism about the value of conventional…

one taken with a smartphone and shared via social media. The youth of contemporary America have a social life that revolves around Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, YouTube or any virtual community people can share and exchange information on. Ralph Waldo Emerson, unlike the current 21st century American youth, celebrated the independent individual and scorned self-centered assertions and immature narcissism in his memorable essay “Self-Reliance”. Emerson would condemn the “selfie”…

In Self Reliance, Emerson encourages his readers to basically follow their own path, to be yourself, and that being an individual is okay. Emerson’s idea about individualism is also similar to Whitman’s because they were Transcendentalists. This prompt from Self Reliance is significant because it basically summarizes all of his thoughts as a Transcendentalist. He makes it known that we need to understand how important our thoughts are rather than being influenced by others by saying “A man…
