This quote connects to transcendentalism because it shows individualism, and the appreciation of nature. ]]> 2019-10-13 03:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397058731 1C "Nature" - Ralph Waldo Emerson 338961 https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397152719 Quote: "I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty. In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages" (39).

He recommends people to value nature more than cities, or villages.]]> 2019-10-13 18:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397152719 1D: "Beauty" - Ralph Waldo Emerson 338961 https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397154607 Quote: "There is no object so foul that intense light will not make beautiful" (39). Quote: "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 What is common to them all, — that perfectness and harmony, is beauty[ (40). These quotes are related to transcendentalism because it shows how nature provides the beauty on earth, and how it plays a huge role in peoples' thoughts.]]> 2019-10-13 18:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397154607 1E: "Self-Reliance" - Ralph Waldo Emerson 338961 https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397156103 Quote: "No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only wrong what is against it" ( 36).

O Life!" by Walt Whitman is a poem where Whitman questions his own purpose, and wonders why life can be so cruel. Whitman's poem is in a question-answer format, where he asks himself questions, and answers them later. He argues that human beings should bot complain, and always be thankful to what they have. Whitman wrote this poem to remind his audience, and himself that the purpose of life is to live, and never complain about anything.]]> 2019-10-13 19:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397159417 2B: Visual Representation 338961 https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397161897 This connects to transcendentalism because these students are going out of their way, and against their school laws to express nature, and sit in a lonely, quiet cave to discuss poems. This shows individualism because they are sitting by themselves with no noise, or people around them.]]> 2019-10-13 19:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397161897 3: Self Declaration 338961 https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397163125 My verse in this world would be to teach people to value nature, and to appreciate nature. In order to do that, I will try to convince them to cut less tress, kill less animals, and use less plastic, because throwing plastic away is killing all of our beautiful animals. About 100,000 innocent animals die from plastic, that includes seals, penguins, ducks, birds, and all kinds of animals. We need our planet to stay beautiful. I will contribute to the world by using recyclable objects, and start using less plastic items that include water bottles, so our nature can stay gorgeous. I will be giving my own happiness to the world, I could simply use plastic items to satisfy myself, and just throw them away, instead, I'm starting to change my lifestyle because all the results I'm witnessing of animals getting tortured, and choked from plastic, and bad pollution caused by us, humans.]]> 2019-10-13 19:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397163125 5: Modern Day Transcendentalism 338961 https://padlet.com/338961/20iampsm5kgt/wish/397169589 The song "Let it Go" from the movie Frozen is a song that resembles transcendentalism.

Took a moment on my own space

I don’t want to hear anyone talk

Here is the case

You won’t believe what I found

Broken trees all over the ground

I wonder who did that?

Burning forests, they don’t care

That is really unfair

I wonder who doesn’t give their attention?

When I was young, I enjoyed my walks

Walking with my dad enjoying nature, and the beautiful talks.

But now, the rusty smell of machines

Industrialization has ruined our dreams

I wonder who did that?

All the smoke coming out of the factories

Ruining our beautiful chat

We try to make new memories

But we can’t because of our enemies

Who ruin our lives and cities
