This quote connections to transcendentalism as Walden seeks truth for himself and for the world. ]]> 2021-10-12 23:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/3527091/8q5he2rjkn9y4uu1/wish/1812209126 1B: "Walking" - The Atlantic 3527091 https://padlet.com/3527091/8q5he2rjkn9y4uu1/wish/1812272830 “How womankind,  who are confined to the house still more than men, stand it I do not know; but I have ground to suspect that most of them do not stand it at all.” This quote relates to transcendentalism as it speaks on Women's Rights.

This relates to transcendentalism as it looks at the solitude perspective that comes with being one with nature. ]]> 2021-10-13 00:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/3527091/8q5he2rjkn9y4uu1/wish/1812321585 1D: "Beauty" 3527091 https://padlet.com/3527091/8q5he2rjkn9y4uu1/wish/1812377470 "Even the corpse has its own beauty." 
This connects to transcendentalism because it shows how something in nature can be simple yet beautiful. ]]> 2021-10-13 00:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/3527091/8q5he2rjkn9y4uu1/wish/1812377470 1E: "Self Reliance" 3527091 https://padlet.com/3527091/8q5he2rjkn9y4uu1/wish/1812439161 "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string." 
This connects to transcendentalism because it contributes to the main theme of trust and nonconformity to other corrupt societies. ]]> 2021-10-13 01:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/3527091/8q5he2rjkn9y4uu1/wish/1812439161 2A: Walt Whitman 3527091 https://padlet.com/3527091/8q5he2rjkn9y4uu1/wish/1812611988 My reactions towards the poem written by Walt Whitman and the film Dead Poets Society is quite depressing because it highlights the main struggles in life. It also shows how transcendentalism may not always be the practical way of life. Both Whitman and Neil from the movie Dead Poets Society question life's existence because they believe life is pointless when it gets to a certain extent. They both feel desperate or like fools because they don't know what the point of living is if their goals are “petty” and how not much goodness comes out of their great efforts. I agree with Whitman at the end when he states the good is we live at all, but I disagree with Neil’s decision of ending his life.

I want to plant tree seedlings around my city and community because I believe that under all of the city lights we should appreciate nature the most due to all the wonderful aspects of life it's a part of. Whether it's planting the tree yourself, hugging the tree, or harvesting the produce that came from the seedling, all of these activities lead to happiness. Hopefully, as I go around trying to make an effort of bringing trees back into the city, others will be inspired and start doing the same even if it's in their backyard. Watching my family plant in their garden or watch the first tomato grow off the vine inspired me to make it a part of my verse. Another crucial part of my verse is to become a dentist or orthodontist in the future.  Not only do trees make people happy,  but so does having straight teeth.  It makes me upset when someone cannot smile because they either have crooked teeth so I want to be the one that can help them overcome this insecurity and show off their beautiful smile.

The stars above fill my body with ease as they might be the only true thing around me
Is the solar system too close to me or am I far from Earth 
I may not know where to go but my heart will go on 
Call me Celine Dion when I sing to all these ions  
Adrenaline pumping through my veins seeing what is up above  
A single tear drop falling from the eye in the sky 
Where it lands is where I will be 
Even if I cannot be there to watch it land 
The destination cannot be compared to the journey 

I create my own path, my own star
No one can chase those stars except me 
Why am I risking my life just for the blurry glare  
They tell me to focus on the moon but I cannot hear them
Suddenly their voices eat my thoughts 
Why die for a glance at the sky
I will not to give in as they will win 
My feet move by themselves picking me up
Where to go next may be unknown 
Follow the North Star they will say 
That is when I run the opposite way
