(Emerson) 

Emerson is explicating that nature is a force to be reckoned with in relation to men. Emerson, throughout the essay, details that while men do have the power to destroy nature he is no match for it's vastness. Emerson demands respect from men for nature, and describes just what "nature" means to ensure no place is left disrespected. ]]> 2019-01-22 21:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323241104 2039976 https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323241117 Only few grow up and still learn to appreciate and understand the value of nature and what it can do for people. Most often, people have forgotten that life is not all about work and materialistic items and their priorities in life have greatly shifted. Sometime people have just simply forgotten that life is much more than a daily routine and learning to appreciate the smaller things in life.]]> 2019-01-22 21:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323241117 2034487 https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323241119 We should be able to live in the present rather than try to live off of the past, or try to put the present into the old look of the past.]]> 2019-01-22 21:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323241119 2039976 https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323241509 There is no downside to nature, whatever you see is true.

(Emerson)

Man see's in nature what he needs in his life, or what he is feeling. If a man goes into the woods and is sad he will see the darkness of the shadows and feel the chilly dampness within them. If a man goes into the woods and is happy he will see the blue sky overhead and appreciate the fresh crisp air. ]]> 2019-01-22 21:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323242821 2034487 https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323242838 He is explaining how man has thought of everything going around him as life, where he was misinterpreting the truth for it.]]> 2019-01-22 21:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323242838 20190473_8 https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323243283 Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild perfectly displays Emerson's ideas of transcendentalism, as well as his naturalist policies. As Chris McCandless goes into the great unknown, alone, he follows many of Emerson's ideas, such as the idea that one can only find oneself in the company of nature. McCandless spent months alone discovering who he was and how he wanted to live, and trying to respect nature which surrounded him. ]]> 2019-01-22 21:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323243283 2039976 https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323243444 This can relate to all the 4 of the pillars of alchemy because they're all about finding inner peace and happiness through all things natural such as the universe and the poem follows along those lines by making nature the center and influential part.]]> 2019-01-22 21:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323243444 2061129 https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323244830 2019-01-22 21:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323244830 2034487 https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323244925 I can relate A Road not Taken to the passion articles because in this one this person is not wanting to follow just one road, much like the one persons job is not their passion, doing things that help the people is his passion, meaning he could go down any road and as long as he ends up doing what he loves he's happy.]]> 2019-01-22 21:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323244925 20190473_8 https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323252388 Emerson was a notorious advocate for following intuition, or a gut feeling. He was a man who followed his passions despite them being highly unique at the time. In contrast the the articles about passion, which stated following ones passion is not always the best plan as it may be unsatisfactory, Emerson argues for the opposite. In the beginning of the essay from Emerson that we read he discusses going out into nature to simply find one self or what one may need to live a fulfilled life, and promptly executing what is found. As Emerson argues, finding passion, particularly in nature, is at the core of a fulfilled life. ]]> 2019-01-22 22:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/20190473_8/22lc491b989z/wish/323252388
