Chris Mcandless was a young man who left home in order to find himself and live the life he always wanted without the help of others. In doing so, he embodied the principles Emerson wrote in his essay "Self Reliance", especially in the aspect of being a "nonconformist". Mcandless disassociated himself from society despite it opposing how most individuals operated. This made him seem deranged to many others, but this was not the case. Because his mindset was different from most, he wasn't truly understood. This also leads into another part of Emerson's work that is "to be great is to be misunderstood". Mcandless' thought process was so unique in the sense that material possessions were of no importance to him. This made him so incredible because his thinking was like no other.

In the timespan between 1508 and 1514, Copernicus wrote about his findings detailing that the planets actually revolved around the sun, not Earth. However, his work was never published during his lifetime due to it opposing the beliefs of the Catholic Church This caused him to be seen as ignorant and a fool by those around him. Even though his theory was unbelievable then, this didn't mean his idea couldn't be built off of by future radicals. In 1632, Galileo Galilei proved heliocentrism to be undoubtedly true thanks to the help of Copernicus' theory. He was a prime example of individuals who were misunderstood because of the status quo of their time.

Fight Song (Rachel Platten)- A piece that demonstrates the power of oneself

# data[].attributes.body
"Fight Song" describes the immense need to have faith in one's own self and abilities since you are the only person that can help you truly become the person you desire. Platten describes how someone "might only have one match... but can make an explosion". In detailing this, listeners come to realize that they can be their own hero despite what those around them might believe. This sheds light on the important topic the Emerson focuses on when illustrating the need to "trust thyself". No one can truly make you successful besides yourself.

Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles)- A young woman who not only helped herself survive, but an entire planet.

# data[].attributes.body
Scarlet is a strong and independent individual who lived on her own at a startling young age. When she was only 12, she had to embark on her journey to adulthood when her parents died in an attack at a market. From then on, she helped others in similar situations as her own and supported the one person no one else could - herself. Her characteristics consist of compassion, diligence, and responsibility, something that is not often seen in the community around her. She is not "hindered by the name of goodness", but goes out of her way to make sure those around her are safe and secure, something she did not have the opportunity to experience for some time.
