Belle, when rescuing her father, decides to make the difficult decision and trades her life for her fathers. She proves more than once that she is self reliant, insisting to read and educate herself in a society where such actions are looked down upon. When Emerson states "Trust thyself; every heart vibrates to that iron string" he implies people to believe in themselves, something which Belle clearly embodies. She is able to see within the Beast good and is therefore, through her heroic acts and her faith in her instincts, able to liberate the castle from its enchanted curse.

“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.”

In this song, we see Pocahontas try to describe a different perspective to John Smith. By connecting to nature and opening to a different possibility John Smith helps defend Pocahontas' tribe from exploitation from the British. She offers John Smith a new way to look at the world when she tells him to "paint with the colors of the wind", similar to Emerson claiming that "none but he knows what that is which he can do."

Lyrics:
You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know
You don't know
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."

Galileo in his lifetime, upon his discovery of the truth of the geocentric system, was convicted of heresy by the catholic church. His discovery contradicted the knowledge the Church claimed to have and that was not acceptable. They told Galileo to abandon his idea, and yet he openly maintained his belief in Helio centrism. It was later proven to be true and he now is remembered as one of the greatest men to live, even if his genius was not acknowledged in his time.]]> 2020-01-27 18:26:47 UTC https://padlet.com/acastillo9615/gxj9za9jzwq2/wish/436586135 acastillo9615 https://padlet.com/acastillo9615/gxj9za9jzwq2/wish/437091774 "The eye was placed where one ray should

Going along with Transcendentalist ideals of becoming one with nature, this artwork embodies this as the eyes of a human have replaced the wings of the bird in the artwork. As Emerson states "The eye was placed where one ray should
fall, that it might testify of that particular ray", we are able to see this in the artwork because the eyes on the birds wings are witnessing nature. The bird is able to fly and so the eyes are able to witness the world and its beauty.]]> 2020-01-28 16:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/acastillo9615/gxj9za9jzwq2/wish/437091774
