He usually lives alone and once ran away to live in the woods in a cabin away from society. 
"Self-reliance is
[society's] aversion."

He has a non conventional career path. 
"Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist."

No one ever seems to understand how he came to his wild but correct conclusions. 
"...you shall be sure to be misunderstood."]]> 2020-01-24 20:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mmckinney5215/opa9jlvzgpi8/wish/435858114 Song mmckinney5215 https://padlet.com/mmckinney5215/opa9jlvzgpi8/wish/435863442 Branching Out by John Gorka is not only the best song, but also a song about individualism and personal aspirations. While it lacks the superiority complex of other transcendentalist works, it embodies the concept of existing as yourself in such a visceral way that one gains greater understanding of the world.

Want to make my home with the birds and the bees
This line embodies the break from traditional society that Emerson champions so aggressively.

Take the winters off and settle down
He's going to stop trying to conform to society's expectation of staying busy.

If the dogs come by I'm gonna get real mean
He is willing to protect and fend for himself.

If I should fall in storm or slumber
Please don't turn me into lumber
I'd rather be a Louisville slugger
Swinging for the seats...
He doesn't want to be used by society for some conventional purpose.]]> 2020-01-24 20:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mmckinney5215/opa9jlvzgpi8/wish/435863442 Image mmckinney5215 https://padlet.com/mmckinney5215/opa9jlvzgpi8/wish/435870390 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.
Trees are full of potential and I'm out of time.]]> 2020-01-24 21:19:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mmckinney5215/opa9jlvzgpi8/wish/435870390
