In the essay, Emerson said "Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist". This is exemplified by Katniss and her fight against the system.]]> 2018-11-26 15:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/twhitaker0685/8uqt1sgt2nkz/wish/307812480 twhitaker0685 https://padlet.com/twhitaker0685/8uqt1sgt2nkz/wish/307816121 A song that largely relates to Emerson's essay is "Started From the Bottom" by Drake. It is a song about rising from the bottom and working to grow and advance yourself. The lyrics that best relate to Emerson is the 2nd verse. "Boys tell stories about the man
Say I never struggled, wasn't hungry, yeah, I doubt it, *****
I could turn your boy into the man
There ain't really much I hear that's poppin' off without us, *****
We just want the credit where it's due
I’ma worry about me, give a **** about you
*****, just as a reminder to myself
I wear every single chain, even when I’m in the house".
Here, Drake is talking about working hard and thinking about yourself over society.]]> 2018-11-26 15:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/twhitaker0685/8uqt1sgt2nkz/wish/307816121 twhitaker0685 https://padlet.com/twhitaker0685/8uqt1sgt2nkz/wish/307825142 Among the stories of those great thinkers, another story comes to mind. That being the name of Alan Turing. His contribution in saving million lives during World War II makes his one of the most remarkable men of his times. His contribution was leading a team of brilliant minds in decoding the German Enigma machine, leading to many more victories for the Allies and eventually a large part of defeating Germany. Yet, this genius mind was prosecuted because of his homosexuality. He died of cyanide poisoning at the age of 41. Still, no one can conclusively determine whether he committed suicide, or was killed.]]> 2018-11-26 15:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/twhitaker0685/8uqt1sgt2nkz/wish/307825142 twhitaker0685 https://padlet.com/twhitaker0685/8uqt1sgt2nkz/wish/307834248 Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string."]]> 2018-11-26 15:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/twhitaker0685/8uqt1sgt2nkz/wish/307834248
