It sparked a turn in the modern commercial industry worldwide. In the 18th century it was difficult to sell goods because transportation over land was time consuming and expensive. Innovations such as the steam boat, railroads, and telegraph made it easier for people to communicate and transport their goods in a quick fashion. This changed how people lived. Before people lived a more simple life where they had the freedom to rise and go to work any time they want. Everything changed as more people  started working in factories and had a superior controlling their lives. This sparked the transcendentalism movement as some people thought that this change in society steered humans from finding peace in the simplicity of life through nature and solitude. ]]> 2018-03-16 20:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/243007812 487283 https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/243008462 2018-03-16 20:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/243008462 487283 https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/243749110 The exaggerating point that Thoreau was giving on this page was the fact that no one was willing to risk putting out the flames even if it was the church set on fire. They were careless and didn't care who set the fire or who puts the fire out. In their society they only seemed interested in their self. Proving my  point "I might almost say, but would forsake all and follow that sound, not mainly to save property from the flames, but, if we will confess the truth, much more to see it burn, since burn it must, and we, be it known, did not set it on fire,-or to see it put out, and have a hand in it, if that is done as handsomely; yes, even if it were the parish church itself."

I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear..."(Thoreau 208). ]]> 2018-03-19 20:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/243757975 487134 https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/243760116 "Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumbnail"(Thoreau 208). ]]> 2018-03-19 20:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/243760116 487134 https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244254043 Thoreau is trying to explain that people will find their truest form in solitude. They are not distracted by all the trivial things of life such as money and other materialistic possessions. When people are alone they have a clearer mindset which allows them to explore and think deeply. Thoreau feels that people are narcissistic in that they think they are the only ones in the universe which in reality is far from the truth. We humans are nothing but a tiny speck in an overwhelming, gigantic black space. ]]> 2018-03-20 20:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244254043 487134 https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244742072 Romanticism consists primarily of nature. It is believed that one can find peace when in solitude where there are no outside forces trying to distract. Since romanticism relies heavily on the natural world there is a strong clash between science and nature. They believe in the supernatural and tend to listen to their heart over their mind. Unlike romanticism, transcendentalism rely on oneself to achieve enlightenment. They reject any religious structure as they believe that humans have the power to find answers by themselves not by a higher being. ]]> 2018-03-21 20:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244742072 487283 https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244742271 Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night, she'll close her eyes
In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly]]> 2018-03-21 20:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244742271 487283 https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244743360 2018-03-21 20:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244743360 487283 https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244744496 We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by
the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast
with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees,
the thunder-cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces
freshets.We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some 
life pasturing freely where we never wander. ]]> 2018-03-21 20:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244744496 487283 https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244746462 This song choice reflects how the life cycle works in today's lifestyle. The Lyric the tear falling down from her cheek was like a waterfall should us a lot of how nature and human beings are very alike. The way the tree is decaying in the begin of the spring shows how life is being moved on such as the cycle of day in the lyrics. ]]> 2018-03-21 20:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/487134/alt5f2t4y6rl/wish/244746462
