Walden

Growing up as a child, I watched my mom show passions, wisdom, and motivation while interacting and teaching preschool children in her classroom A lot of the children in my mom’s classroom came from single families, low income, and socioeconomic backgrounds. My mom was a very passionate person. She loved her job. I can recall, the time when she was undergoing Chemotherapy and was in some pain she continued to smile, inspire, and motivate the children to engage in activities. This played a key…

Happiness is a very controversial topic in today’s society. There is a single defined definition, yet many different ways a person can feel it.

He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possession, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter.” Although Christopher McCandless had a fairly wealthy family that pushed the importance…

Throughout life decisions are inevitable. Sometimes the choices we make are meaningless, but many times they have a huge impact on journey through life. Although it is smart to use older and wiser people's experiences into account when making choices. It is significantly more logical to act upon personal beliefs and feelings because it is unilaterally what you want and will make you truly happy in the end.

point has been useless and that he must start anew. Victor has been caught up in the ancient sciences, M. Krempe beliefs modern science to be the way of the future. Victor then meets a second professor, M. Waldman who is quite unlike M. Krempe. Walden refuses to denounce any form of science, and thus he provides the grounds for Victor’s intense study of ancient…

During the Romantic Era in the United States, the previous rationale of uniting the country and correcting domestic affairs was transitioned towards westward expansion and nature; making the exemplary American a man of the frontier. The United States was no longer content with its success of the American Revolution, and sought to expand its country. In 1803, Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from the French for merely pennies per acre. The Louisiana Purchase was the start of…

staying at by Walden Pond, the first thing he noted was that the house was quite dilapidated. The walls were stained by the weather and had quite a few holes in them, causing the nights to be cold. The house also had no plastering nor a chimney, and the entire structure was only defensive against the rain. Despite these relatively unfavorable living conditions, however, Thoreau saw the experience as one to prove that people too lavish of lives to be genuinely happy. Thoreau writes in “Walden,”…
