Independent, creative and severely determined, he stops at nothing to reach his goals. Even better, all the incredible things he does, he does on his own. He owes no man and yet many owe him.
“How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure. ” ― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

"Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

when the moment comes, you'll say..."

"I, I did it all"

"I swear I lived"

In the song like in the essay the theme of self reliance is prevalent. In the article it celebrates self reliance and deems it something worthwhile and rewarding. " A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best."

Likewise the song promotes taking risks and achieving your goals so that you are satisfied, one day, with the life you've lived. ]]> 2016-12-15 17:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/yglore9642/a3x5n3vkhsxa/wish/143896233 Leonardo di ser Piero Da Vinci yglore9642 https://padlet.com/yglore9642/a3x5n3vkhsxa/wish/143899468 A misunderstood polymath who taught, cooked, painted, invented, created...
He sketched the human anatomy in detail, helping doctors. He outlined healthy living and invented things that were incomprehensible to the people of his time. He was thought of as a lunatic, a mad man, and yet his contributions to science and art remain prevalent in this day and age. ]]> 2016-12-15 17:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/yglore9642/a3x5n3vkhsxa/wish/143899468 Visual Interpretation yglore9642 https://padlet.com/yglore9642/a3x5n3vkhsxa/wish/143902245
"Misunderstood! It is a right fool's word! ... To be great is to be misunderstood."

By referencing well respected men, Emerson makes his claim stronger. He bunches them together and offers the reader the chance to join the group of misunderstood individuals that have made the world a better place.
pathos- "There is a time in every man's life when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide;"
Using words that have a strong negative connotation and evoke  emotion from people, this quote displays a pathos that is cynical.
ethos- "Great men have always done so.." 
By saying that it is 'great men' who do great things, a simple and reasonable statement, more people will feel compelled to try and be great too. He appeals to the average person by using easy to understand comparisons and his essay is (in a sense) like a pep-talk for humanity. ]]> 2016-12-15 21:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/yglore9642/a3x5n3vkhsxa/wish/143961375 yglore9642 https://padlet.com/yglore9642/a3x5n3vkhsxa/wish/143963892 2016-12-15 21:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/yglore9642/a3x5n3vkhsxa/wish/143963892 yglore9642 https://padlet.com/yglore9642/a3x5n3vkhsxa/wish/143964153 2016-12-15 21:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/yglore9642/a3x5n3vkhsxa/wish/143964153
