She suffers much throughout 
her life, however she counts on herself to get back on her feet instead of playing the role of a damsel in distress. As Emerson states in his essay, "...none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried." This quote emphasizes the idea that you never know until you try and in Jane's case, she faces much judgement from her Aunt but does not allow her to subjugate herself to less by maintaining her independent attitude throughout the book. ]]> 2016-12-14 17:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mperez4009/a60zzksk4r1n/wish/143669563 mperez4009 https://padlet.com/mperez4009/a60zzksk4r1n/wish/143676172 This song seems to be heavily influenced by Emerson's essay as shown in the lyrics, "save me from who I'm supposed to be. Don't wanna be a victim..." and, "...she ran away to chase her dreams. And they said she wouldn't make it far." In Emerson's essay he writes, "Society everywhere is in conspiracy against manhood of every one of its members," suggesting that everyone should conform to social norms and not be their own person but instead, a conformist. The lyrics reflect the idea of opposing views of conformity and that society is against individuality and expression of oneself. ]]> 2016-12-14 17:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mperez4009/a60zzksk4r1n/wish/143676172 mperez4009 https://padlet.com/mperez4009/a60zzksk4r1n/wish/143750609 As a young boy, Einstein was simply misunderstood because he could not speak properly and had struggled in school. He was even told by one of his teachers that he would never amount to anything. Although he faced much criticism and judgement, he continued to pursue his life and eventually succeeded when he won the Nobel Prize for physics. He is to thank for the theory of relativity and also known for his contributions to the development for quantum physics. ]]> 2016-12-15 00:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mperez4009/a60zzksk4r1n/wish/143750609 mperez4009 https://padlet.com/mperez4009/a60zzksk4r1n/wish/143894818

His pathetic appeal is seen when he writes," A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace," showing that people are happy when they are doing what they love but unhappy when they are doing otherwise." Finally, his ethical appeal can be seen in," We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents." In this quote, Emerson is expressing how people in society disguise themselves as someone else, "ashamed" of their true identity and who they are. ]]> 2016-12-15 17:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mperez4009/a60zzksk4r1n/wish/143897065
