"And now my son's gettin' older and older and cold, from havin' the world on his shoulders, While the rich kids is drivin' Benz, I'm still tryin' to hold on to my survivin' friends, And it's crazy, it seems it'll never let up, but, Please, you got to keep your head up"

Tupac Shakur is singing about the continuous violence in the world. He wants his son to live in a healthy world so he sings about it to let world know how he is feeling. When he sings that he is 'still tryin to hold on to my survivin friends', he wants to let others know to always look in a positive outcome even if bad things are happening.]]> 2019-01-30 04:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/325701388 Transcendental Art 1 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/325702306 This artwork shows that there are many different ways in which the world can be perceived. From one perspective, it can be magical. From another, it can be dark and gloomy, but one has to find out for themselves.]]> 2019-01-30 04:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/325702306 Transcendental Quote 1 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/325703574 As Ralph Waldo Emerson is saying, the only way to stay true to oneself is by deciding who one wants to be and taking inituative to accomplish that. If one is influenced greatly by others, they are not living up to their expectations.]]> 2019-01-30 04:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/325703574 Transcendental Article 1 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/325704586 This article writes where transcendentalism originated, what it means, the people that were influenced by it, where it is in our society, and when it was most popular. Henry David Thoreau was one of the first transcendentalists with his work very well known work, Walden. ]]> 2019-01-30 04:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/325704586 Transcendental Song 2 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327095455 Beatles- “Here Comes the Sun”
"Little Darling I feel that ice is melting slowly, Little Darling, it seems like years since it's been clear, Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say, It's all right"

In these lyrics, the Beatles are describing to let the dark, bitter memories go and welcome the new warmth that is within. Throughout the song, it defines beauty. Once you reach that warmth within yourself, it will be all right. ]]> 2019-02-03 19:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327095455 Transcendental Song 3 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327098007 Michael Jackson- "Earth Song"
"Did you ever stop to notice, All the children dead from war? Did you ever stop to notice, This crying Earth, these weeping shores?"

Throughout this song, Michael refers to himself as a Christ-like figure. In the lines above, he sings about children dying and shores crying. The shores crying in my opinion represents global warming and how the ocean is suffering.

Going the extra mile will not only help oneself, but others around them as well. If one is only focused on one aspect of life, they will waste much of their life.]]> 2019-02-03 20:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327102772 Transcendental Quote 3 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327104811 Ralph Waldo Emerson was a transcendentalist who believed that everyone should be one with their surroundings. He believed strongly in spiritualism. He said nature was defined as something visible if one opens their mind.]]> 2019-02-03 20:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327104811 Transcendental Quote 4 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327105785 This quote said by Thoreau refers to his beliefs that everyone should be who and what they desire to be. No matter how hard it might be to accomplish one's dreams, Henry David always believed in everyone. As this quote says, one should always be confident no matter how hard the journey.]]> 2019-02-03 20:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327105785 Transcendental Video mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327109404 Bob Roth is a transcendental meditation( TM ) expert who appeared on The Ellen Show and explained how TM can benefit the mind and body. Throughout the video, he said that TM should be done twice a day for 20 minutes each and it is better than sleeping. It helps one's mind access the calm that one needs in order to deal with the stress one feels on a day to day basis.]]> 2019-02-03 21:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327109404 Transcendental Poem mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327110320 The One in All by Margaret Fuller
"Existence is as deep a verity: 
Without the dual, where is unity? 
And the ‘I am’ cannot forbear to be"
This poem writes that no one knows how to act in the world by themselves. They have to know what other people's opinions are and cannot think for themselves. The whole point of her writing this is for people to realize that it is okay to be unique and be individual.

Two very well known writers, Thoreau and Emerson, had very similar theories that they shared with the world. Both of them had much in common. The original idea of transcendentalism branched out into more theories like feminism and abolishing slavery.]]> 2019-02-04 04:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327158372 Original Photo 1 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327160801 This photo was taken by me on an island called Peaks up in Maine. While I go up to the island every summer, I have time to think. Our house is located on the back shore and we are away from everything. I sit and think about life and the different possible outcomes. I think about my family and what it would be like if I didn't have them. There are woods behind our house so sometimes I go on walks to see all the deer and beavers. They are in their natural habitat and I get to thinking about what humans natural habitats are if they have any.]]> 2019-02-04 04:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327160801 Transcendental Podcast mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327162728 During this podcast, a few people discuss where Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson grew up and what influenced them. They talk about all of the different meanings that they meant in their works. They are comparing and contrasting Thoreau and Emerson.]]> 2019-02-04 04:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327162728 Original Photo 2 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327164524 This photo was taken by my sister in our neighborhood. I like how it shows the gloominess in the day. I believe in the opposite of Thoreau and Emerson when it comes to whether things should be seen in a positive or negative outlook. This shows the dark part of things that I tend to agree more with.]]> 2019-02-04 05:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327164524 Transcendental Art 2 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327164850 I find true beauty in this piece of art because it shows all the possible colors you can be. This work is saying that while surrounded by nature, one can be whoever they want. The different colors represent the different personalities of everyone when they are with nature and without nature.]]> 2019-02-04 05:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327164850 Transcendental Art 3 mabennett333 https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327165527 This art represents transcendentalism very well because it shows individualism and inside one's mind. There can be color and darkness, one just has to explore in order to achieve the methods of transcendentalism. In order to find out, one must go deep into their mind and explore.]]> 2019-02-04 05:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mabennett333/ke5us4utzcem/wish/327165527
