"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 came to die, discover that I had not lived."

The poem by Walt Whitman embarks on the constant search for meaning in life, which is thought of by everyone in the world, including myself. However, the poem also offers an answer that motivates me to continue through life, even if there are drawbacks. After watching the film, it sparked a lot of courage in myself to pursue my own desires and ideas, despite what others may think. I can really relate to the concept of family dictating your entire future without asking your true passion, which causes despair knowing you won't be happy.

My verse will be dedicated to my family and others around the world, which is, "Give it your all, even if it's never enough." . In our modern world, society will always complain or find negativity in everything. However, I choose to seek the best in everything or anyone and want to spread my own ideas towards a positive world. I will always put in hard work towards what I love and never back down, even if immense backlash comes from it. I'm not only striving for money, but for love that contributes for everyone, especially my family.

I will have no Fear!

For I have shed too many tears,

Just for you not to hear,

Even with one ear,

That I will not live to bear,

A future that is unfair

And always start to compare,

The cost of my fare,

To the bliss of my peer

I must have no Fear!

As the autumn trees shed,

Scattered in groups of disarray

I glance far ahead

To see the still green oak on display

The reflection shutters from my toes to head

As I breathe in the aroma of the day

I learn to march forward instead

Since I mustn't contemplate of the old way

To look up to new hope is what I can sway

For I have no Fear!

Thesis: Transcendentalism demonstrates the grand benefits given from nature to humans, which creates a self-reliant human due to more time with oneself, that finally characterizes a true transcendental life with full capability to contribute back to the world because there is no fear involved by the restrictions of society and leads an original path.
Quotes: "The immense support brought by nature is intense and personal; it builds a trusting bond with oneself and creates creative thoughts..."
"The reason why an independent thinker is capable of retaliating from societal norms is due to the fact that they’ve built off of their confidence behind words that carry much more meaning and offer more strength to an individual."
