Emerson's child

      A way  you can explain  Emersons self-reliance to a 10 year old is by getting some quotes from the story that stand out to you and have more of an impact from the words Emerson is saying. The parts that stood out to me was how he talked about leaders and changed and how we as a society desperately need a change for the better,  especially since the  election not that long ago. 

" Do not look for yourself outside"   a way I can explain this as simple as possible is saying that Emerson wants you to look inside yourself to find the best possible solution before  reaching for the outside . Quotes like these from the story have come together to tell you as the reader to be confident in yourself and don't look to the outside.

"Trust thyself , every heart vibrates to that iron string"  what Emerson is saying is really the first two words,   Trust thyself or r in simple terms for the youth  can be have trust in yourself and have confidence in what  you say or do. The part that says every heart vibrates to that iron string can be elaborated from when  he says every heart to we all have the same feelings toward something while the iron string can symbolize the toughness of your sayings .

"For nonconformtity the world whips you with its  displeasure  and therefore a man  must know how to estimate a sour face" " let a man know his worth, and keep things under his feet "

I put both  these quotes together since how they both connect to the man and his  worth In the world . The first quote is saying that the world is going to give you pain and displeasure so you have to learn to keep a poker face while the second connects to it by a mans worth and don't let him do things by keeping  it under his feet so he can't see it.

To sum  Self -Reliance up  Emerson has been saying believe in yourself and don't be afraid to speak up for what you think,  your going to have a lot of pain in your life but to keep on going , don't look for what's outside but what's inside that you already have, and finally about leaders in the world and how they tell us what we can or can't do. Self -Reliance is a perfect essay to read in this time of the year since the election andi it might give people ideas that 'll help out society overcomes obstacles that they are now facing.

AN EARTH-SHATTERING FART

What I got from the story "A sound of thunder" was that one mistake that you made in the past can lead up to many consequences in the future. From reading that he killed the butterfly which totally switched up the English language and change the whole world around him from changing who the president was to the bad guy of the 2. Also how his mistake from getting out of the path had the result of him getting shot when he went back to the future. The best part for me was when Bradbury was describing the dinosaur and Eckels saying get him out of there and Lesperance continuing to stay  gives the tone of fear in the story while having the mystery of will they make it out of there alive. It's the best part from wondering if they will die or not since throughout out the story they've been saying that some people on safari trips have not came back alive. My opinion on the story though is that it's basically giving a message to learn throughout the whole story in little parts.

My Aeries

So my progress report came out to be a B+, that's understandable since even though I came to class and started and participated a lot in class, also did almost all the journals that I was there for but I can see that my blog was not up to date at the time. As you can see now my blog is up to date and I'm putting something up at least once a day even sometimes without homework. I still think we need library dates so we can all go and check out books for literature analysis.

EMERSON FOR THE YOUNG BUCK

What I learned from Self-Reliance is multiple things, such as that we have leaders in the world that control us and tell us our rights. I learned that you shouldn't be afraid to be yourself and not just half of yourself but your full self and don't mind what others think. I learned that Emerson believes that infants or morons are geniuses. I learned that the world is going to give you a hard time but to fight through it and keep going on. Another thing and the part that got me the most is when Emerson believed that the youth has a voice and a right in the world. Also about the evil and devil stuff that Emerson was relating to either heaven or hell or the good and bad in people and society. The last thing is that don't look for help outside yourself and mind and how many of his things are talking about how society is today even though Self-Reliance was written many years ago.

EMERSON SAID IT

"But these impulses maybe from below not from above"
" trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string "
"It loves not realities & creators, but names & customs "
" for noncomfortity the world whips you with its displeasure & therefore a man must know how to estimate a sour face "
" do not look for yourself outside "
What these quotes from Emerson mean are how you are to believe in yourself and even though the world brings trouble to your life to keep going on and believe. They came up in the Socratic seminar because lots of people think like Emerson and believe the things he says and that they should follow from him and trust in themselves since everyone had quotes similar to each other about relying on yourselves and people think about the social problems that the world has of how people are constantly trying to be someone they are not.

LETTER TO A MENTOR DRAFT1

Dear Albert Einstein,

             My big question is Why does the sun rising and sun setting determine when our day starts and day ends? From your research and contributions to the whole world and how we still see the steps and major findings you found how would you see this question as a concern of how we as people just learned to follow the things people said about the world that can be changed. Why have 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year, Maybe you can answer my question just by saying that we're just following what people from decades ago thought that every time the Earth rotates is a day or maybe they just thought every time the sun comes up is another day that we can say just to keep hold of when is it in the year.
                                                           
                                                                                                                          From, Andrew Clark

Socratic seminar

Today's class came meaningful to a few on how we talked about quotes from Emerson's Self-Reliance  because of the meanings that it sent to people such as people only showing half of themselves because they're afraid of what people are going to think. Also finding that Emerson was basically describing social life today and especially in the class.
