Remix Emerson's "Self-Reliance"

Emerson's Self-Reliance teaches us to trust ourselves. We are all unique in our own ways. Society's concern is creating everything. We want to take life a step at a time because we need to make the best of our life. People want us to be the best and do good things in life. Emerson states individuals have their own voices, "which grow faint and inaudible as we enter the world." Emerson states that individuals who work hard are allowed to do anything and succeed in life. He says, "A cultivated man becomes ashamed of his property, ashamed of what he has, out of respect for his own being.” Awards come to people that dissever it and should have everything good in life… Just believe and trust yourself. I think this essay is about when you have an opinion about something, the opinion should be your own and don’t let anyone tell you what you can and cant do.

"Self-Reliance"

Notes on “Self-Reliance”: I thought that the essay “Self-Reliance” by Emerson was about people being individuals. I think that Self Reliance means use your own thoughts, don’t let people control you, don’t let others people change the way you are. We should trust ourselves and make ourselves stronger. But the thing is many people don’t know now to be themselves and they need to learn that…People should just follow their hearts and their thoughts. The topics that I thought that were important: *Sees a connection between personal and universal *Developing yourselves *Dangers of conformity *Self-heart and prayer *Minds being whole *Self- Reliance is its aversion *Trusting one-self I thought that each of these topics were important because they were the ones that stood out too me when I was ready. One example I thought that related to “Developing Yourselves” was “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.” I thought that meant that it’s okay to be different then everyone and is okay to be misunderstood with things that happen or that you do in life… Just remember that you’re different then everyone but at the same time you are the same. This is one of the quotes that stood out to me the most.

CLASS WORK RESIGNATION-The act or instance of resigning MARROW-soft material that fills bone cavities STURDILY-substantially built strong SUBLIME- characterized by nobility GENUINE-actually possessing or produced by the alleged or apparent attribute EXCURSION- a usually short journey PYGMIES- myth. A member of a race of dwarfs WRETCHEDNESS- living in degradation and misery EVITABL- avoidable In the "from Thoreau’s Walden" that we read in class I thought Thoreau was his itinerary and had a guile for what he wants to do in life. He was kind of saying that he wants to learn and understand the things he does before doing anything else. He wants to ascetic every point that he think that’s is a good point to him. He lost his despair in everything like if he just gave everything up and just let it all go. I think that he thinks that his life can be very lurid sometimes with all the thing that he has to go though. I also think that he is thinking that he can thinks of pious for what his reactions are. He has his own endemic that he is doing. He is exemplary to what he thinks his life was before he ages. He is very expostulate and innuendo because it seems like he doesn’t care what other people think. For example “Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail.” I think this shows that he is willing to thin about what other think about what he has to say but be happy with whatever he thinks it is.
