Thesis: In doing so, Transcendentalism teaches people how to model themselves after nature in becoming self-reliant, by being independent and being thankful for what they have.

Quote #1: “His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food. In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows. Nature says,-he is my creature, and maugre all his impertinent griefs, he shall be glad with me.”
Quote #2: “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.”

This shows the connection to Transcendentalism as it shows a girl not just appreciating nature, but doing it alone to depict how important it is to be thankful for what's around one's life which is what is being shown as the girl is sitting alone, with many trees around her.

The relation with this picture to Transcendentalism is the fact that in this picture, so much was going on but I was able to be thankful for what was around me and continued living life positively.

Living life to it's fullest extent by blocking the outside world for a second as I spend time with my family for the day to truly connect with them and connect with myself as well.

Being happy while living life will set upon a positive path for the future that will indicate the independence and confidence that someone had until the end which is the idea of Transcendentalism.

This connects to Transcendentalism since, in order to be at one with oneself, a person needs to be self-reliant which is not only one of the tenets of Transcendentalism but also what Beyonce's song is about!

Doing one thing will not help make another. Each day goes by and life carries on. A responsiblity I must carry will play a part in the world. Living and enjoying life to it’s fullest is what they once said. “Carpe Diem!” “Sieze The Day!” Live, laugh, and love each moment that passes by giving many things to occupy. Giving each day a chance will grant wishes in advance. Time flies as the clock ticks and chimes making the day go by fast. I ask the question “What will my verse be?” will set upon oversea.

Extending life to it’s fullest to find my meaning will provide the answers later on. Trusting oneself instead of another builds the relationship between the provider and the seeker. Seek the good in life instead of the bad. Look at the world and ask “what am I to do in this world?” Opening a path starts with what you do, with what you seek, and with what you accomplish. Life  was never promised to be easy, and that’s why I take each day as it’s the last. Go on, trust yourself, be one with nature as it welcomes you with delight. Pursue what’s right. Give everything in your might to welcome nature into your life. Going above and beyond in what I do knowing that life will keep moving on.

My verse in this life will be to become an attorney to help stand for others who aren’t able to stand for themselves. Throughout the world, many problems occur that people can’t solve on their own, through the help that I will offer will allow them to get by the problem they are facing. This contribution that I will be making to the world will help many face their problems without fear and not be afraid to ask for help when they need it. My goal is to always help people, but there are so many ways that I can help them. One of many is becoming an attorney to stand up for them when they can’t do it themselves. This big task will be accomplished by getting my degree and helping as many as I could face their daily problems that are stopping them from enjoying life more.

Living and appreciating each day to it's limit connects with Transcendentalism since it helps to show how the world although small, can give a lot to a person making them grateful for everything!

The poem was very surprising in that of which it talks about the meaning of life and questions what each person's purpose in life is. Knowing that life gives many opportunities to many, the industrialization period that filled the world with modernized technology is seen to be "foolish" in Whitman's point of view which stands out to me, knowing that the technology we have today, is helping to make everything easier. Although it does have it's affect on society, the way that Whitman looked at it all as "foolish" because people don't really know their purpose in life interested me to see how he thinks. The Dead Poet's Society was all about "Seizing the Day!" Knowing that life is too short, the film portrayed how getting an education isn't just from having to read books at school but rather to learn new information out of school in order to make the best out of life.

"Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

This quote has to be the best one yet, Emerson implies that trusting oneself is always the right way to get by life, but that also means accepting what the higher power has to offer for the future.

"This love of beauty is Taste. Others have the same love in such excess, that, not content with admiring, they seek to embody it in new forms. The creation of beauty is Art."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

This quote is quite interesting since Emerson talks about the beauty of everything and how people tend to see it, in most cases, the beauty is seen through art as he describes.

"In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows. Nature says,- he is my creature, and maugre all his impertinent griefs, he shall be glad with me."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The beautiful picture above of nature symbolizes the true beauty that it holds as it offers itself to the people living in it, Emerson points out that nature looks down on her kids and is glad to be protecting them which is the beauty of "Nature" overall.

"No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God."
-Henry David Thoreau

The girl that is being displayed walking in a vast area filled with trees and bushes, is what Thoreau tries to point out about nature, the beauty of it which is seen if one takes a walk outside, to fully appreciate what nature has to offer.

"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail."
-Henry David Thoreau

The picture above embodies the type of life that people should live in, filled with "simplicity" as David quotes, and, to better be thankful of what goes on around one's life if there aren't many events happening that will prevent them from appreciating what is being offered.
