This visual connects to Transcendentalism as the man is showing individualism and being self-reliant through deep thought and surrounding himself with nature.

Thesis: Transcendentalism teaches people to model themselves after nature in order to become self-reliant individuals who would positively contribute to society by gaining individualism, and simplicity.

BP 1 Quotes: “The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible; but all natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence. Nature never wears a mean appearance.” (Nature passage). “The flowers. The animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood.” (Nature passage).

BP 2 Quotes: “An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” and “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you imagined.”

BP 3 Quotes: “Envy is ignorance; imitation is suicide” and “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.”

(8) Challenges to Living Out the Transcendental Tenets Today

# data[].attributes.body
This image affects transcendentalism because of its nature and as I stated that a challenge for transcendentalism is the distraction of a phone. Like in this picture there is a boy not admiring the green gas or sunlight but is on his phone.

This is an image of me transcending as I am doing an outdoor nature activity  which is fishing with family and friends.

# data[].attributes.body
This is another image that I have painted of the nature of the ocean and how these two fishermen are enjoying their time in nature. Fishing is a good outdoor activity especially the ocean so I found these to be very good examples of transcendentalism.

Part of transcendentalism is nature which in this image I was processing a very beautiful landscape that seems you are in a calming part of nature.

This photo was created by me as I like to transcend by watching this view when I am stressed out. Where homework is stress I watch/do it in front of this view.

Life was at a stressful time

So I decided to look up at the pines,

I looked at the flowers bloom

Realizing my mind was trapped in a plain room,

Stress kept my mind distracted

Going outside, the nature led me to be attracted

Nature is beauty and eases my mind

Nature caused me to feel happy inside

Stressfulness decided to fade away

I looked at nature and now I don’t see it as grey.

Nature wasn't always beauty

As during hard days nature seemed so blurry

Stress, anxiety, and biting my fingernails

Where my eyes capture nature's beauty and sets me asail

Being outside I can finally breathe

Away from school and personal problems I felt peace

Never noticed nature can change the way I think

My mind and nature connected and linked

English class made me realize working outside is a good adaptation

So I started going outside and knew it was my best option

My verse would be to treat others with kindness and also help the ones in need and spread love to show that everyone is loved. Treating others with kindness will not just make the person you are talking to in a positive mood, but also make you feel positive and happy. Helping ones in need will always make their day better and as you help someone something good will come to you in return. Me helping others will lead the same people into helping me and relying on each other. Spreading love can cause one to feel more welcomed and brighten up their day.

My reaction to the Dead Poets society was that I felt I can connect to this poem. Where it felt like a wake up call for me to not gain a poor result. As in this poem it mentions what you want to be in life and there are so many options and the people around you affect those options too. Where the ‘empty and useless years of the rest’ is me towards making that decision of what I want to be. This picture is the most striking element of Dead;s Poet Society in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
My reaction to the poem was shocked, amused, and excited. The boys were thrown opportunities and were taught to go out and reach after them affected me too. Opportunities will be thrown at me and when I see an opportunity I am going to go catch it.

“In Every work on genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.” and, “The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.” This connects to transcendentalism of self-reliance to always be in your own personal thoughts and don't depend on someone else and their ideas when you have your own.

(1 A) Walden – “Where I lived and What I Lived For”

# data[].attributes.body
“Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.” This quote and example shows transcendentalism as it is waking up with simplicity where nature is around you and in this image it shows waking to a view of nature.

“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wilderness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil-to regard man as an inhabitant,or a part and parcel of Nature, then a member of society.” This relates to transcendentalism because of individualism where they wish to speak leaves a bubble in their head because they are so worried about what society wants.

“The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible; but all natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence. Nature never wears a mean appearance.” This connects to transcendentalism as it shows how nature has a beautiful appearance and will always contain a beautiful appearance.

“...or such the plastic power of the human eye, that the primary forms, as the sky, the mountain, the tree, the animal, give us delight...a pleasure arising from outline, color, motion, and grouping.” This connects to transcendentalism through the form of nature as it states in this quote and image about the nature of mountain, sky's, and animals along with other varied forms of the beauty of nature.
