This poem says that he is more self-reliant in himself by being alone and doing stuff like "I celebrate myself" or "sing myself" by showing that he is still having a happy life without others.

In this picture it shows that no matter the weather nature still continues to live and accepts the fact that there is something else there and continues. It shows that even beauty shows through anything and everything.

This picture to me brings meaning to self-reliance due to the fact that the tree fell on top on my house and I had to go myself and clear it off. It also shows that the world doesn't always your way like how Thoreau asked God why He didn't save his brother.

Connected, but alone? - Sherry Turkle - Ted Talk

In the Ted talk she explains basically what the oversoul is and that everyone is connected but it doesn't mean you're not alone. She explains that Thoreau was lonely but he was still connected to everyone.

As we expect more from technology, do we expect less from each other? Sherry Turkle studies how our devices and online personas are redefining human connection and communication -- and asks us to think deeply about the new kinds of connection we want to have.

Feminism and Transcendentalism in Nineteenth- Century America--Article 2

by Tiffany K. Wayne

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This book explores the theoretical relationship between feminism and transcendentalism through the ideas and activism of prominent 19th century female thinkers and activists. By analyzing the work of such important figures in post-Civil War American intellectual life_such as Ednah Cheney, Caroline Dall, Margaret Fuller, and Elizabeth Oakes Smith_Tiffany Wayne demonstrates how transcendentalism provided a language with particular appeal to women and helped promote an emerging feminist movement with a similar goal of acknowledging women's right to self-development.

The First Comprehensive History of Transcendentalism American Transcendentalism is a comprehensive narrative history of America's first group of public intellectuals, the men and women who defined American literature and indelibly marked American reform in the decades before and following the America Civil War.

In this quote Emerson he says that if you do not live your day like it is the best day ever then you haven't really lived at all. By saying this quote he explains the he lived everyday like it is his last.

Having a profound affect on ones life is enough to have succeeded on life because you have made change. In transcendentalism this is referred to as living instead of being, much as Thoreau would have lived over been. When he wrote about living at Walden he also wrote of what he was living for, which was a profound effect on himself.

Just as to be isn't the same as living, looking isn't the same as seeing, the context is the meaning. I can look at someone, but the person underneath must be seen to be understood. The individual is more than what is on the outside, like a book is more than its cover.

Thoreau's quote explains that the world can be anything if we just have imagination and thoughts that never die. By saying this quote it makes you start to think what is possible if you believe that it is a canvas to our imagination instead of some place we are stuck in without control of all of it.

The song says, "They show you how to swim, then they throw you in the deep end/I've been learning since, but it doesn't mean I'll float" to reflect that society helps us build standards, but doesn't help us reach them. As a result, one must learn to rely on themselves to "float." Thoreau's experience with self-reliance comes from his decision to live alone, which forced him to survive on his own.

Its message of staying true to your values and thinking for yourself embodies the Transcendentalist tenet of self-reliance. The line "Payin' anything to roll the dice/Just one more time" shows that people are too focused on extending their life quantitatively rather than qualitatively. Self-Reliance lets them gain pleasure from their life by understanding more about themselves.

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is about how beautiful nature is and how boundless it is. He starts out saying "A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature," to show how he was enlightened by nature.

This imagine shows and expresses that Even something so beautiful has a bad scar and it all needs to be loved and not just the beautiful part. Nature is beautiful in multiple ways and should be loved no matter what as Thoreau used to say.

In this picture shows there being a island near nothing which could mean that self-reliance could be taken from it if you had to survive on it, or it could be a non-conformist since it is away from the rest of the world.

This imagine shows transcendentalism through showing human eyes as the wings on a bird which goes with Thoreau's ideal of that your reach is further than your flesh. It shows that you're sight is further than your own skin.
