One example of his self-reliance was when he was trapped in cave and surrounded by many, he built a version of the Iron Man suit all by himself to escape without anyone's help. This directly supports Emerson's claim when he states that, "Great men have always done so and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age..." (line 21). ]]> 2021-12-03 15:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/btran4516/53sedhktss0u7psq/wish/1927558466 btran4516 https://padlet.com/btran4516/53sedhktss0u7psq/wish/1927574446 This song is all about independence. In her song, she claims that anyone who will hate on her and pray on her downfall are just wasting their time because Taylor Swift will just "shake it off." Similarly, Emerson believes to not follow the social norm, and to believe what you think is right. Just like Taylor Swift, he states to "speak what you think today in words as hard as cannon balls..." (line 44). Both Emerson and Taylor Swift don't follow the social norm and believe what they want to believe, and they don't care if they're misunderstood.]]> 2021-12-03 15:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/btran4516/53sedhktss0u7psq/wish/1927574446 btran4516 https://padlet.com/btran4516/53sedhktss0u7psq/wish/1927587458 2021-12-03 15:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/btran4516/53sedhktss0u7psq/wish/1927587458 btran4516 https://padlet.com/btran4516/53sedhktss0u7psq/wish/1927595250 McCandless was a man who followed his own path, and in the wild, he always did things alone. When offered money for better equipment, he refused. When offered a plane ticket to reach his destination, he refused. He was the embodiment of self-reliance in surviving in the wild. He didn't follow the social norm, and didn't take a route that would secure a high paying job. He did what he wanted to do, and he didn't care about what others thought of him.]]> 2021-12-03 15:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/btran4516/53sedhktss0u7psq/wish/1927595250 btran4516 https://padlet.com/btran4516/53sedhktss0u7psq/wish/1927605121 Through his nonviolent protests, he contributed by setting examples on how to peacefully protest. However, many doubted his thinkings, and it was not until later where he would be truly remembered forever in history.]]> 2021-12-03 15:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/btran4516/53sedhktss0u7psq/wish/1927605121
