"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I cane to die, discover that I had not lived." -Walden

This reflects transcendentalism because it represents the idea of living a meaningful life connected to nature and the truths of the world.

"In the wilderness , I find something more dear and connate than in the streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as a beautiful as his own nature."

There is something more calming and beautiful about nature than the society man has created.

The poem "Oh me! Oh life!" by Walt Whitman is reflected in the movie Dead Poets Society at the beginning of the movie when Mr. Keating recites the finial life of the poem, "That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse." The movie continues to reflect this idea as Mr.Keating's teachings inspire a few young boys form his class to create a dead poets society and reflect upon their purpose in life. Throughput the movie the boys are inspired to follow their dreams and own pats, and to live in the moment and "seize the day." The poem by Walt Whitman describes that although the world may seem terrible, life goes on and it is a blessing to add something to the world. The poem is meant to inspire people to contribute what they can to make the world better, much like how Mr.Keating inspired the boys in the movie.

I will find a way to add beauty to the world by sharing my creations with the world. I hope to be able to influence even just a few people and give them inspiration to follow their dreams and defy the norms of society in exchange for their happiness. I will forever keep the child in me alive, and prevent society from breaking me and turning me into another lifeless laborer. I refuse to be trapped in someone else's dreams and to live my life according to the expectations of others, and I promise to spread as much positivity and love in this world.

To a generation of lost souls

Walking with no direction

Their brain is dead their hands are cold

But not a single objection to be behold

Society traps them in a casket of steel walls

An office graveyard that restrains them all

And nobody can hear their screams

As they tell and sing of their stolen dreams

Dreams that once kept them alive

Now they sit in the graveyard from nine to five

Still they sit there everyday

And inspire me to not make the same mistake

To trade my dreams for a paycheck a week

I rather live under their harsh critique

To live without passion is not to live at all

Or so I’ve been told by the great men who fall

That dreams are priceless so what is life with their absence

A meaningless time before we all shall die

I will follow my dreams to the end of the earth

Till I reach a new day and again a new birth

Over the weekend I did some yoga in my back yard, spending some time in nature and just focusing on myself and my health, as the transcendentalists believed that spending time in nature is good for the soul.

Reading outside is something I like to do a lot in the summer when I have a lot of free time, but I cleared up time in my schedule to sit outside for half an hour surrounded by nature reading a good book (Crazy Rich Asians).

I went on a walk through a horse trail near Steel Canyon High School with my dog. I spent sometime secluded from society and other people out in nature to reflect upon myself.

On the other side of the drawing the young man is happy and surrounded by nature.

Society effectively finds every way possible to destroy the dreams of the youth and inhibit the transcendental tenet of following your own path and living with a meaning.
