these cells cease to exist (Diabetes Mellitus). Due to Type 1 Diabetes being a autoimmune disease, the beta cells that make insulin are attacked by white blood cells unknowingly. The body is not energized in the day due to the loss of these cells (Walden). The second form is Idiopathic Type 1. It is rare because this disease has no known cause (Diabetes Mellitus). Aside from type 1, type 2 is a whole new different…

Ben Franklin, an eighteenth century inventor, poet and writer was in many ways similar and different to the transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. Both men had a way of doing things, even though they were following different ways of living. Ben Franklin would write a daily plan/goal for the day in a virtue journal. The virtue journal would give Franklin virtues he would have to follow for the day, in which he had trouble. One of the virtues he had was industry. The ideas that come from it…

Ralph Waldo Emerson encompasses nearly all of transcendentalism in one statement: “Every chemical substance, every plant, every animal in its growth, teaches the unity of cause, the variety of appearance...” (Emerson 5). Written in the essay “Self-Reliance,”this statement means that —whether it be as small as an atom or as large as a tree— there exists a unity between their beings. The philosophy of transcendentalism was formed by famous writers such as Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, and…

Society evolves with each passing year aiming to get more and more advanced, but doing so has caused people to lose sight of what is truly important; themselves. Way back in the ancient times people worked harder of course because they lacked machines to do the work for them, but even though the people worked tirelessly on a daily basis they knew how to live freely. Most people would argue this saying that “we are free”, but are they right or are they simply falling under a spell that life would…

individual, and valued self reliance along with openness. Ralph Waldo Emerson was a key author during this movement, and is considered the father of Transcendentalism. His protege Henry David Thoreau is best known for his works “Civil Disobedience” and Walden. “Civil Disobedience” revolutionized the overall American belief system. Thoreau professed every individual’s right to defy unjust laws, and made key points that people did not have to blindly follow the government or laws. However, he…

old mindset I thought this story about a lady talking to this man that is native American and telling him about all the cool things that see-saw. A question I’ll have for the author is why did he use Spokane in this story when he talks about the Walden Ponds? Is there a lot of history of Native Americans in Spokane? This is the question I'll ask. The second critical strategy I used was gender. I feel like gender is a big part of this story, I say this because the main character is a male and…

The term transcendentalism is a system of integrated thoughts from ideological thinkers who lived during the 19th century. In Michael Donovan’s poem, “It’s All-On-Me,” Donovan is speaking on the idea of leaning on his own understanding, to somewhat follow his heart. Many other poems and stories written by former transcendentalist have the same main idea. Authors such as, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, use this type of thinking process to portray a life where the nonconformist of…

With so many people longing to get in shape today, it is no small wonder there are a number of reality shows with a fitness theme. Some people may say that sitting on the sofa watching a fitness show is not really helpful, but watching others get in shape - especially people that seemed to be almost hopeless cases - can inspire you to lose weight and get fit. One of the most popular fitness/weight loss shows on American television is NBC's "The Biggest Loser." The premise of "The Biggest Loser"…

to almost minimize the history and struggle of the indigenous people by implying that because of the voice they received at the negotiations, their ‘dignity’ was suddenly restored. It is here where a question of ‘voice’ may be called into question (Walden 81). The language that Marcos employs in this declaration is laced with indigenous…
