Her bravery, responsibility, wisdom, and strength enable her to make choices by herself and for herself, depending upon nobody else to defend her success. Katniss is able to "speak what [she] think[s] today in words as hard as cannon balls" and stand up for what she believes in with unwavering self confidence. ]]> 2021-02-23 20:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/afrolichste8534/smobb9lh54x7dz8w/wish/1233546551 If I Could Never Give You Peace afrolichste8534 https://padlet.com/afrolichste8534/smobb9lh54x7dz8w/wish/1233574937 Taylor Swift's coming of age song, "peace", parallels Emerson's perspective on the concept of peace. His belief  "that nothing can bring you peace except yourself" mirrors Taylor's attitude when she questions the consequences if she "could never bring [someone] peace", as she knows she is unable to truly accommodate to anyone but herself. Once self-reliance is discovered, recognizing one's own limits and capacities begins to become evident as boundaries are created and responsibility is claimed. ]]> 2021-02-23 20:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/afrolichste8534/smobb9lh54x7dz8w/wish/1233574937 To be Great is to be Misunderstood afrolichste8534 https://padlet.com/afrolichste8534/smobb9lh54x7dz8w/wish/1233627621 Virginia Woolf, author and poet, was wildly misunderstood in her time. Her poems, such as the collection entitled "The Waves", screamed in underlying agony. Woolf's words were criticized and diminished in her lifetime, not often recognized or valued. It wasn't until after her death by suicide that the misunderstood creator's work was appreciated for all that it was and could be. Her fragile poems provided comfort to readers who were facing the same struggles as she did as each letter, word, line, stanza flowed from her confounded mind.]]> 2021-02-23 20:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/afrolichste8534/smobb9lh54x7dz8w/wish/1233627621 "We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents." afrolichste8534 https://padlet.com/afrolichste8534/smobb9lh54x7dz8w/wish/1233676247 2021-02-23 20:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/afrolichste8534/smobb9lh54x7dz8w/wish/1233676247
