Transcendentalism by TRIANNA NGUYENTU https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539 en-us 2022-09-27 00:21:39 UTC 2025-11-08 07:27:21 UTC hello@padlet.com 1A Quote "Where I Lived and what I Lived For" 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326512061 "We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep…Our life is frittered away by detail" - Henry David Thoreau

This image describes the quote visually emphasizing the action of being simplistic to one's life and experiencing the "infinite expectation" of a person's life, which they must themselves keep their eyes open for. ]]> 2022-10-04 21:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326512061 1B Quote "Walking" 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326896781 "Half the walk is but retracing our steps. We should go forth on the shortest walk...in the spirit of undying adventure, never to return, prepared to send back our embalmed hearts only as relics to our desolate kingdoms. If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them again—if you have paid your debts, and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free man—then you are ready for a walk." -Henry David Thoreau

The picture illustrates the quote of "undying adventure" and the endless stairwell of "never" returning to the way of life, finding individualism throughout the journey to freedom from one's daily life. ]]> 2022-10-05 03:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326896781 1C Quote "Nature" 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326896984 “Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.” -Emerson

The image demonstrates the contrast between a growing person who sees nature as a recurring everyday event and a child who sees nature the way it is meant to be seen, fully appreciating in its all.

Nothing divine dies. All good is eternally reproductive. The beauty of nature reforms itself in the mind, and not for barren contemplation, but for new creation." -Emerson

The image explores the different perceptive many people can have about nature as a whole, and, how nature is viewed in the mind of the perceiver.

The image represents an individual "toiling" up a rope, that hard work comes with earning, that the universe is full of good, and it is the role of the individual to achieve what is given to them. ]]> 2022-10-05 03:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326898349 2A O Me! O Life! and Film "Dead Poet Society" 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326899903 The movie and the poem surround the concept of living life as it is meant to be, instead of living a life with conformity. One's identity is life and how that life may contribute to the world. One's existence can feel meaningless but once one contributes a verse can feel happiness. While watching the movie and the poem, I realized how life is supposed to follow how I want my life to be, not what society wants it to be. ]]> 2022-10-05 04:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326899903 2B "Dead Poets Society" 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326900301 Everyone sees everything in a different way, in order for one to find that individualism, one needs to have the initiative to find it themselves such as standing on the table themselves. ]]> 2022-10-05 04:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326900301 3 Declaration to Self 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326900933 This image demonstrates the pathway I will create for females in male-dominated fields. My verse to the world is opening doors for females in male-dominated fields such as stem fields, the gaming industry, and sports.  I’m hoping to create a pathway for females in these fields to express who they are and continue with their own passions throughout their life. I will be expanding these doors to females and helping them through these male-dominated fields.

If they open their eyes to what can be sought 
Without thought the rain of nature
Is what nurtures us while we cry 
The truth of rain is that 
only the ones that know the feeling of it can understand
The soft touch of the droplets on your skin
Which stops time ever so gently
Traffic of cars slows down just for a moment to stand
Visions of thoughts fill our minds
The moment of swaying with the rain with that special someone
Love letters, flowers, cuddles next to the fireplace
No more thinking about complicated life
More thinking about what is life
A life I could make for myself

Memories of past lives
Childhood version of ourselves still lives within us
Childhood me would run in the rain without a second thought 
Childhood me would dance in the rain without a care in the world
Childhood me would…
Be happy
One’s happiness doesn’t come from one person
One’s happiness comes from one’s self
True happiness is of one’s self before someone else
True happiness is realizing what truly makes one happy
Still curled up in a ball in the rain, dreaming of a life I can live
But, that life was long-lived 
The tender kisses of the droplets lingered on my head
patting on the head I once didn’t have to think of 
I guess it's similar to my childhood in a way

One's individuality is damaged because of the influences of social media in everyday life, and our busy schedules, to which contribute to a lower appreciation of nature and ourselves. ]]> 2022-10-05 04:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326904482 9 How does transcendentalism teach people to model themselves after nature in order to become self-reliant individuals who, in turn, are able to fully and positively contribute to society? 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326905271 The image demonstrate the community snowflakes have, which each individual snowflake are different but still considered a snowflake, to which is similar of how an individual is different in their own way but still part of a society and considered all to be human. ]]> 2022-10-05 04:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2326905271 5 Part 2 Modern-day Transcendentalism- "Idontwannabeyouanymore"-Billie Eilish 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2344463126 "Don't be that way
Fall apart twice a day
I just wish you could feel what you say
Show, never tell
But I know you too well
Got a mood that you wish you could sell
If teardrops could be bottled
There'd be swimming pools filled by models
Told, "A tight dress is what makes you a whore"
If "I love you" was a promise
Would you break it, if you're honest?
Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before
I don't wanna be you
Anymore
Hands getting cold
Losing feeling is getting old
Was I made from a broken mold?
Hurt, I can't shake
We've made every mistake
Only you know the way that I break"

The singer speaks to herself that she "doesn't want to be herself anymore", not conforming to society's standard for women, and finding her own individualism.]]> 2022-10-18 04:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2344463126 7B Transcendentalism Picture: Cherry Blossom 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2352035491 A picture of me in the Japanese garden, taking a mini hike looking at the cherry blossom trees and the Koi fish, which helped me get off my phone and embrace nature. ]]> 2022-10-23 03:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2352035491 7C Transcendentalism Picture: Writing in Nature 3587653 https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2352037693 A picture of me writing in my own solitude, expressing my various stories and thoughts in a page of writing. ]]> 2022-10-23 03:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/3587653/ojmr2k693ywuo539/wish/2352037693
