"Is there a time 
What about all the dreams 
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice 
All the children dead from war 
Did you ever stop to notice 
The crying Earth the weeping shores"

"Earth song" by Michael Jackson shows how the earth used to look and how it looks now and the impact of humans caused it to change form. wars have messed up peoples lives like in a town it showed it was devastated from a war that broke out. It also showed what would happen if humans would stop fighting and it would be better. also it showed how people dont even leave the environment alone like for example it showed how people cut down trees and how they kill animals like elephants and how other people also start to suffer from the after effects. It also talks about how people the take advantage of the earth and dont realize how bad they are hurting the earth. ]]> 2019-01-29 18:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/325555619 Thoreau 1 isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/325581407 "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it"

This is a quote from Thoreau talking about how if you want anything you are going to have to sacrifice other things for it. What this means is that if people want to transcend in there lives they are going to have sacrifice other worldly things like they are going to have separate themselves form things like work, electronics, etc. In the book " the night Thoreau spent in jail" he had said that people are slaves of there work like they have to sacrifice there entire day or time to getting up in the morning to make some money. ]]> 2019-01-29 19:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/325581407 Image 1 isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/325587517 This image is what Thoreau was trying to embrace when was in the woods. He wanted to appreciate the beauty of nature and wanted to free himself and was just aiming for the over-soul. in order to achieve this he had to live off the grid and isolate himself from the rest of the world. The over-soul was the main goal for any transcendentalist who was trying their best to imitate Thoreau's methods and live off the grid.]]> 2019-01-29 19:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/325587517 article 1 isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/325594023 "The ’Splainer: What is Transcendentalism?"

"how many roads must man walk down before you can call him a man".

In the song "Blowin in the wind" Bob Dylan asks the question about what does a man need to do achieve the over soul. What he means is that a man needs to take a particular road to get the over-soul and get higher position in there life and wants to bet a higher knowledge and start the process to transcendence.]]> 2019-02-01 21:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/326884820 image 2 isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327110521 This image is portraying what transcendentalism is all about and what you are trying to get form transcending. The thing that this image is saying is that once you start living in the woods or start taking the first step to transcending will eventually become one with nature and start having self-reliance and not care what society has to say about them because they cant be moved by what they have to say about them and this is the end result.]]> 2019-02-03 21:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327110521 Emerson 1 isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327113754 " DO OT GO WHERE THE PATH MAY LEAD, GO INSTEAD WHERE THERE IS NO PATH AND LEAVE A TRAIL". 

This is quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson and what he is trying to say is that when you trying to achieve a goal don't do the same thing that someone did, go and reach it by your own methods and not by someone else. This is how a person can truly transcend by being a nonconformity type of person and just let go of how other people think and do. That is how Emerson got to teach people at Harvard. ]]> 2019-02-03 21:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327113754 podcast isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327115755 In this podcast this man talks about the ideals of Thoreau and how he constantly tells tells everyone to wake up.

What thoreau is trying to say in this qoute is that in order for us to see how the world runs we would have to use our imagination and start drawing out how we would want to see the world in this type of form and try to be non-conformity about our imagination and just look at the world with our own eyes and not by other people's eyes and be proud of what we would draw.]]> 2019-02-03 22:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327120564 image 3 isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327121158 This is what the end result of transcending looks like and what Thoreau was being portrayed as. The eyeball shows that the person has achieved the over-soul and and stripped of everything else. What the eyball is trying to say is that this what will happen once you taken the steps of transcendalsim and how you would have nothiing but two legs to move and and all seeing eyeball with a hat walking through the woods.]]> 2019-02-03 22:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327121158 Emerson 2 isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327121984 " The only way to have a friend is to be one" - Emerson.

What Emerson is saying is that is people want to have friends they first have to be one to other people. That is one way people would actually talk to you want you to be their friend in the long run. For example when Thoreau went to live in the woods he ahd found out that nature was being his friend and that he wanted to be its friend in the woods and it helped him transcend in the woods.]]> 2019-02-03 22:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327121984 song 3 isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327122883 "FAST CAR" by Tracy Chapman 

" maybe together we can get somewhere, any place is better starting from 0 and got nothing to lose, me myself got nothing to prove"

In this song he is talking about how he wants to go somewhere in his fast car. Anywhere he would start form zero and start transcending with himself and go places, so that he could see how the world really is from his perspective and not form other's perspective. That is why he wants to start from zero because that is even Thoreau started from.]]> 2019-02-03 22:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327122883 article 2 isid3261 https://padlet.com/isid3261/eisiigvnfmg/wish/327124320 "‘Selfie’-reliance: The word of the year is the story of our individualism"- by Dan Zak
