Garnet, from a popular TV show on Cartoon Network, is my idea of a self reliant individual. She is composed, powerful, and confident. She is definitely the wisest of all the characters on the show. She also shows leadership by taking the role of a mother almost. "Time is like a river that splits into creeks or pools into lakes or careens down waterfalls. I have the map, and I steer the ship."]]> 2016-12-14 15:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aguevara6076/oygb0xsh1zyy/wish/143631270 aguevara6076 https://padlet.com/aguevara6076/oygb0xsh1zyy/wish/143635725 2. "Stronger Than You" a song sung by Garnet herself has some parallels to Emerson's essay. The lyrics in the song "You're not gonna stop what we made together. We are gonna stay like this forever. If you break us apart we'll just back newer. " This parallels to Emerson's "Self Reliance" through this connection in his essay, "The power which resides in him is new in nature, and but he knows... nor does he know until he has tried." The connection here is, the power Garnet uses that keeps her going is part of nature: love. In Emerson's essay he claims that a person knows their limits but if you know how to drive your passion you have power; in this case Garnet sings about how love has her energized and uses her utmost confidence to get that message across.]]> 2016-12-14 15:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aguevara6076/oygb0xsh1zyy/wish/143635725 aguevara6076 https://padlet.com/aguevara6076/oygb0xsh1zyy/wish/143874710 3.

"... if you would be a man, speak what you think today in words as hard as canon balls, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said today."
In the last paragraph of the essay, Emerson discusses the way one speaks their mind and how an individual can go about.]]> 2016-12-15 16:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aguevara6076/oygb0xsh1zyy/wish/143878186 aguevara6076 https://padlet.com/aguevara6076/oygb0xsh1zyy/wish/143880552 5. Emerson uses plenty of ethos within his essay. When he describes the misunderstood geniuses of their time. He discusses we are foolish to have thought differently of them. "A foolish Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divine."]]> 2016-12-15 16:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aguevara6076/oygb0xsh1zyy/wish/143880552
