To be awake is to be alive."

-This picture exemplifies the quote because the pond is forming the shape of an open eye which represents how only a few are really awake enough to be living a "divine life."]]> 2021-10-08 19:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1803219256 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1803230243 "When we walk, we naturally go to the fields and woods: what would become of us, if we walked only in a garden or a mall?"

-This picture exemplifies the quote because the girl is walking in a field almost naturally it seems like and there is a certain beauty radiating off of her because of all the nature around her, which represents how walking in nature gives us so much more than "walking in a mall."]]> 2021-10-08 19:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1803230243 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1803240260 "Yet it is certain that the power to produce this delight, does not reside in nature, but in man, or in a harmony of both."

-This picture exemplifies the quote because the girl in the image is becoming one with nature to create the "harmony" that is needed to produce delight.]]> 2021-10-08 19:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1803240260 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1803254450 "A leaf, a sun-beam, a landscape, the ocean, make an analogous impression on the mind."

-This picture exemplifies the quote because the tunnel demonstrates how we are close minded so nature can only see certain parts of nature and it can only make a limited impact on our minds.]]> 2021-10-08 19:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1803254450 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804708279 "We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents."

This picture exemplifies the quote because the water represents the part of ourselves that are drowned out by the conformity that society expects. The forest that is above the water represents us "half expressing ourselves."

Whitman is questioning everybody's life purpose and he believes that everyone around him is faithless. He expresses how he is caught in a senseless life and he doesn't understand what his purpose is. But at the end of the poem, he finds his answer merely existing is a motivation for living.]]> 2021-10-10 00:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804722674 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804727274 This connects to transcendentalism because Mr. Keiting challenged the boys to look at learning in a different way and rather than have them learn in this rigid environment to pursue a career they didn't even like, he made them see the true value in going after their dreams, which is a major focus of transcendentalism.]]> 2021-10-10 01:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804727274 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804734701 My contribution, or verse, in this world will be to help people plan how they will distribute their assets for their families to carry on after their death. This will be accomplished through me going to law school to become a trust and estate attorney. It is often very hard after people lose a loved one so the last thing they should have to deal with is finances and trust.]]> 2021-10-10 01:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804734701 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804738281 This connects to transcendentalism because to transcend is to look for more than just the superficial value of material things in life and technology is one of the many things that distracts us from living out the transcendental tenets.]]> 2021-10-10 01:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804738281 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804852368 This relates to transcendentalism because it demonstrates how technology can't answer all questions and it can't replace nature, and transcendentalism is all about letting go of the materialism ideas.]]> 2021-10-10 04:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804852368 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804860727 #simplicityismyremedy

This is connected to transcendentalism because transcendentalism focuses on the simple things of life, such as enjoying nature, and it asserts that it is the simple things that truly help people live a happy life.]]> 2021-10-10 04:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1804860727 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1808761042 In this life I feel so small
Questions left and right
The next problem never out of sight
Chasing these dreams
But are they really my dreams at all
New doubts everyday
Will they ever go away
What is this part I play
Instead of questioning my way
I decide to go for a walk

I stop and think to myself 
There's a reason I am here 
There I stand in the midst of it all 
Looking at the trees and how they blow with ease
I admire how they seem at peace 
I breathe deep and listen to my footsteps 
I begin to feel calm 
I know what I didn't all along 
My part is small and that is all 
I must seize the day ]]> 2021-10-11 20:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1808761042 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1809317843 This relates to transcendentalism because I was disconnected from reality and I was focusing on my inner thoughts alone without anybody around.]]> 2021-10-12 02:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1809317843 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1809322507 This relates to transcendentalism because I was spending time in nature with my dog and I was clearing my mind and simplifying my day.]]> 2021-10-12 02:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1809322507 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1809340482 This relates to transcendentalism because I was spending time enjoying the snow, as well as taking in all the beauty and this is from my point of view.]]> 2021-10-12 02:15:18 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1809340482 3515321 https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1812772568 Transcendentalism teaches 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 because it teaches them that spending time in nature helps heal the body resulting in more productivity, therefore helping offer more to society. 

-This picture relates to transcendentalism because it represents this idea of individualism and how by being an individual thinker, a person can contribute more to society.]]> 2021-10-13 03:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/3515321/shm66wrd21nakhdd/wish/1812772568
