Throughout the show her character is shown to be someone who realizes as little on others as possible in fact her character arc is her learning how to let others help her instead of trying to do Everything herself. The quote, "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string" best fits with her character as she trusts on herself throughout the show. abarton1216 https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927889635 2021-12-03 17:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927889635 Mary Wollstonecraft advocated for women's rights during the 1700's when support for women getting to fully participate in society was low causing her to be an unpopular person in her time. abarton1216 https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927907748 2021-12-03 18:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927907748 "So use all that is called Fortune. Most men gamble with her, and gain all, and lose all, as her wheelrolls." abarton1216 https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927911783 2021-12-03 18:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927911783 Chris McCandles embodies these principles throughout his life from burning all the money he had, to traveling constantly in less than ideal conditions, to putting himself in extreme conditions like hiking in the Alaskan wilderness, all because he believed that he was going to be able to take care of himself. He relied too much on himself to the point of death because he wanted to seperate himself from society and from others. abarton1216 https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927921223 2021-12-03 18:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927921223 The song 'The Sound of Silence' by Simon and Garfunkel has similar themes to that of Emerson. In the song the lyrics say, " 'Fools" said I, "You do not know. Silence like a cancer grows' " The people in this song are described as all being silent,they are conforming to the silence, as the song's singer tries to steer them away from it. In his essay Emerson writes about how the only way to be truly free is to be self-reliant and nonconformist once again attempting to get the audience to shy away from conformity. abarton1216 https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927947166 2021-12-03 18:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/abarton1216/3y4mfzytsc9nyvl/wish/1927947166
