This quote and picture connect to transcendentalism because this man is taking everything in, not distracted by anything and just enjoying the view.]]> 2021-10-08 19:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803199886 3513441 https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803200184 "...you must walk like a camel, which is said to be the only beast which ruminates when walking." - Henry David Thoreau

But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile." 
- Emerson

People go about their lives without appreciating something as amazing as the stars because they take them for granted.]]> 2021-10-08 19:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803200335 3513441 https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803200456 "The creation of beauty is Art." - Emerson

Beauty is different to every person, and when expressed and crafted in a unique and personal way, that to me is art.]]> 2021-10-08 19:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803200456 3513441 https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803200660 "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that... though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried." - Emerson

Even if someone is given lots of things and help, only through their own hard work can they grow and get everything out of life.]]> 2021-10-08 19:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803200660 3513441 https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803201027 My immediate thoughts on the poem by Whitman are that it's about the foolish search for a light that will make someone's life complete, and that the purpose of living is living. I agree with this because you only have your one life, so there's a strong desire to make it a good one. The movie, Dead Poets Society, was inspiring, with it's main message being to "suck the marrow out of life." It also made me very sad and upset when Neil took his life because he was so passionate about his dream that he chose death over living a life where he couldn't follow it. I wish he hadn't have done that, because there was still hope that he could eventually find a way to become an actor and do what he loved, and he had so much potential.]]> 2021-10-08 19:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803201027 3513441 https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803201210 Charlie rejects traditional establishment by protecting the club and embracing this "strange" name.]]> 2021-10-08 19:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803201210 3513441 https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803201627 I'm still not decided on what exactly I want to do with my life. However, in my verse, I want to be a good friend, daughter, sister, and neighbor. I will follow what I think is right and fight against things I think are wrong. I will help those I can, and I will try my hardest to excel in whatever I decide to do. Also, when I decide, no matter what kind of job it is, I want to make sure I'm being responsible and doing what I can to be sustainable and take care of the environment.]]> 2021-10-08 19:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803201627 3513441 https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803201711 Trust everything they say. Keep your head down and don't go astray. Your purpose is to be a model citizen, right? You're old enough now, no more horseplay. That's what I've been doing all my life. I thought "Surely if I did I could live without strife!"
But is everything they say really the truth? Or are they taking advantage of us impressionable youth? Some stuff they say is good and true. But some is only found through your own world view.
But what is mine? I take a look at myself; what is it that I really want to do? Honestly, I have no clue! And that's okay! If I just follow my heart and keep doing what I think is right, I'm sure I'll be happy and my future will be bright! I was so stressed, so focused on doing what society said, that my happiness and sanity was being hung by a thread. Now, I'm sauntering through life, enjoying the view! It's nice.

Quote 1 -  To follow along and conform would move a person farther from not only nature but from being a conscious human.
Quote 2 - A strong individual, freed of the binding influence of society and government, can, in turn, influence them. ]]> 2021-10-08 19:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/3513441/d1ouh1h0j8ubz7xq/wish/1803203996
