He saw the dangers in the world and decided that he and the world will never benefit unless he (only he) acts on it. This is similar to how  Emerson believes "no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till." The world will never get better and he will not receive the corn unless someone does something about it. Tony's arrogance and confidence build his self-reliance, letting him do whatever he wants alone. ]]> 2021-02-23 20:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gmoore3518/25r39dzeuybqbi4l/wish/1233621197 gmoore3518 https://padlet.com/gmoore3518/25r39dzeuybqbi4l/wish/1233711150 Two specific lyrics in the song are just like some of the points that Emerson states in the essay. She used to be scared of losing someone and was way to reliant on him, now she continually tells him "Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now". She isn't reliant on him anymore and is confident enough to tell him to leave. She doesn't need him anymore just like Emerson said people should only rely on themselves. The next lyric is "I will survive". This is in response to leaving someone she was too close to but who hurt her often. No she doesn't need him and is reliant on nobody.]]> 2021-02-23 20:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gmoore3518/25r39dzeuybqbi4l/wish/1233711150 gmoore3518 https://padlet.com/gmoore3518/25r39dzeuybqbi4l/wish/1233741212 Ulysses G. Grant could be considered a person in history who greatly contributed to society but was misunderstood. Before his presidency he was in multiple battles where he lost a lot of solders and criticized for it. People didn't like him because of how he fought in the war. But he was a great military strategist who fought the hard battles and knew what it took to survive. He knew he was a major leader in the Union and he needed to do bold things to win the war.]]> 2021-02-23 21:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gmoore3518/25r39dzeuybqbi4l/wish/1233741212 gmoore3518 https://padlet.com/gmoore3518/25r39dzeuybqbi4l/wish/1233779861 "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string."

The image is on a very small scale but it represent many paths that all lead to different things. Some will lead to success and some will lead to failure. You are on a path and you should stick with it, no matter how hard someone wants you to switch because it could lead to failure.]]> 2021-02-23 21:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gmoore3518/25r39dzeuybqbi4l/wish/1233779861 gmoore3518 https://padlet.com/gmoore3518/25r39dzeuybqbi4l/wish/1233794931 Tigers and lions have one massive difference in how they interact with the wild. Lions are always in a small pack, they hunt, sleep and are always together and are reliant on each other. Tigers live by themselves, and embody Emerson's Self-Reliance in their lives.
(I'm just stating why I have a tiger as the image)]]> 2021-02-23 21:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gmoore3518/25r39dzeuybqbi4l/wish/1233794931
