I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary.¨]]> 2017-10-10 15:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/195671493 1.B 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/195671781 ¨I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least—and it is commonly more than that—sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements. You may safely say, A penny for your thoughts, or a thousand pounds.¨]]> 2017-10-10 15:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/195671781 1.C 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/195672290 ¨Nature says, -- he is my creature, and maugre Definition all his impertinent griefs, he shall be glad with me. Not the sun or the summer alone, but every hour and season yields its tribute of delight; for every hour and change corresponds to and authorizes a different state of the mind, from breathless noon to grimmest midnight. Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. In good health, the air is a cordial of incredible virtue. ¨]]> 2017-10-10 15:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/195672290 1.D 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/195672706 ¨The production of a work of art throws a light upon the mystery of humanity. A work of art is an abstract or epitome of the world. It is the result or expression of nature, in miniature. For, although the works of nature are innumerable and all different, the result or the expression of them all is similar and single. Nature is a sea of forms radically alike and even unique. A leaf, a sun-beam, a landscape, the ocean, make an analogous impression on the mind.¨ ]]> 2017-10-10 15:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/195672706 1.E 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/195673527 ¨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. ¨]]> 2017-10-10 15:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/195673527 2) 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198049604 I have thought of the idea of contributing to the world as well]]> 2017-10-17 23:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198049604 3) 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198051221 I was sad for the kids since they where unable to obtain what they wanted.]]> 2017-10-17 23:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198051221 5) We the Mice! 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198051963 (Poem) We the mice! We all struggle for the same cheese. Ones one is taken a new one is placed with a different taste. We all hope to obtain the cheese and leave this labyrinth, but only few is taken at a time. As they leave they look down upon the rest, which motivates some to try harder. Yet I am tired of this race. Sometimes I pick up the pace only to be beaten again. One day we say, we will be one of those mice. Yet years have past and we are unsure if we will make it. Some mice give up and lay themselves to rest. Yet one mouse decides to climb over the labyrinth.

That mouse is ridiculed by his friends and family, yet he pays no mind to them. Once he climbs over the wall he realizes that those who have succeeded in obtaining the cheese have merely been placed in another labyrinth with a different kind of cheese. The mouse climbs up to the window and sees a beautiful forest. He urges the rest of the mice to follow, but only three listen to him. He speaks to them and convinces them to flee with him. They jump out the window and find other mice who dared to change. While there they introduce to us all kinds of cheese every shape and color and the mouse´s new friends told him to claim the spoils for himself. But eh mouse rejected the cheese and said this is for we the mice!. We the mice, who dared to do the impossible. We the mice who did what other thought to be insane! We the mice who thought differently that the other mice! This is for we the mice!

In my poem this is represented by the mice attempting to get to the cheese which represents both careers and money. This is portrayed as a constant neverending cycle. While the other mice and their escape represent the transcendentalist belief of becoming both self reliant and an independent thinker who break out of society's shackles. This allows them to find the greatest cheese which is happiness. ]]> 2017-10-18 02:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198080360 6) Song 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198085455 Goodness of Man]]> 2017-10-18 03:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198085455 7)#AppreciatingMotherNature 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198090597 2017-10-18 04:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198090597 8)B Thinking Quietly 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198091512 2017-10-18 04:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198091512 8)A Enjoying the beauty of the Ocean 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198091592 2017-10-18 04:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198091592 8)C Appreciating Simplicity 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198091659 2017-10-18 04:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198091659 9) 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198095009 People sometimes have a hard time thinking transcendental because technology distracts them.]]> 2017-10-18 05:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198095009 10) Thesis 322067 https://padlet.com/322067/1igux6jpz6yt/wish/198097311  Transcendentalist ideas teach people to appreciate life for what it is with is incredible beauty which models itself in transcendental ideas that helped improve their mind set.

Hopefully they will teach help another the same way I have helped them. I hope that this will create a snowball effect making the world a better place.

I hope to one day contribute to the word in a way that will never allow people to forget me. I hope my spirit can be carried on in the hearts of others in whatever job fate has in store for me.I wish to create a force of people with great morals to improve the world and maintain it after I leave this world.
