Ryuko can relate to this quote because she discovers a power that she does not even know of even though it is meant for her.
"Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string."
Ryuko's power relies on trusting herself and her abilities in order to fight.]]> 2016-12-15 21:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143960483 shawkins0247 https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143960926 In the song, 'We're Not Gonna Take It', by heavy metal rock band Twister Sister, lead singer Dee Snider sings about fighting back and standing up for yourself. The lyrics, "Your life is trite and jaded, boring and confiscated, if that's your best, your best won't do" are parallel to "We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents." a quote from "Self-Reliance. These lyrics and quote are similar to each other because they both suggest how mediocre one's life can be if they do not act upon self-reliance.]]> 2016-12-15 21:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143960926 shawkins0247 https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143962150 Musician, artist, writer, and feminist Kathleen Hanna led the Riot grrrl movement, an underground feminist hardcore punk movement. It started in Washington, D.C., during the 1990s. The movement was targeted by those who didn't understand Kathleen's views of third-wave feminism, thinking that it was too risque and grown up rather than seeing it as a new form of traditional girl power. While fighting against gender-based discrimination, homophobia, and racism, Hanna interpreted her views through music.]]> 2016-12-15 21:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143962150 shawkins0247 https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143963232 "Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist."
This visual representation of feminism through the popular phrase 'We Can Do It!" displays nonconformity of women towards society. While the original WW2 propaganda poster (Rosie the Riveter) was meant to boost 'worker morale' many people have seen it as a way to combat sexism and praise feminism. Feminism is a way of nonconformity through defying traditional gender roles and allowing us to do what we want despite how we identify.]]> 2016-12-15 21:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143963232 shawkins0247 https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143963750 "Ne te quaesiveris extra." ("Seek no one besides yourself.")

The use of pronouns such as 'we' and 'us' suggest that Emerson wants to connect with the reader and how even though he is a decorated essayist, he understands how the reader feels and wants to express that.]]> 2016-12-15 21:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143964013 shawkins0247 https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143964230 "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." The rebuttal in Emerson's quote about what it is a man does aids in helping the reader see another logical and rational side of things besides what is offered by Emerson.]]> 2016-12-15 21:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/shawkins0247/hcztndihnxjx/wish/143964230
