Emerson says this because he is arguing that if one speaks what is in their private hearts, it will become true for others. ]]> 2018-11-28 01:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308604538 hartsoemarykate https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308605191 In paragraph 2, Emerson states. "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that limitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better or worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toll bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till" (Emerson 116). Emerson is making the argument that mankind is simply dealt a certain deck of cards and must live with it throughout their lives. By saying "envy is ignorance" he is saying that envying others is not right and is viewed as wrong, as opposed to it being seen as a inspiration to work harder.]]> 2018-11-28 01:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308605191 hartsoemarykate https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308606455 In paragraph 3, Emerson is talking about how the most famous and noble of men have been complacent in the fact that they believe that they are where they need to be. He says, "Accept the place of divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connexion of events" (Emerson 116).]]> 2018-11-28 01:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308606455 hartsoemarykate https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308607074 Emerson is discussing the beauty that nature yields, including the behavior of children, as well as babes and brutes. He then says "So God has armed youth and puberty and manhood no less with its own piquancy and charm, and made it enviable and gracious and its claims not to be put by, if it will stand by itself" (Emerson 116). In this quote, he is saying that even the youth has power and it should not be underestimated.]]> 2018-11-28 02:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308607074 hartsoemarykate https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308607720 In paragraph 7, Ralph Waldo Emerson is making the argument that nothing is more sacred than ones own integrity. He states, "Absolve to yourself and you shall have the suffrage of the world" (Emerson 117). Emerson is arguing that if one frees themselves, the world will love them.]]> 2018-11-28 02:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308607720 hartsoemarykate https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308608301 On page 118, Emerson is talking about the corruptness of charity, and the edge of graciousness. In paragraph 7, he says, "truth is handsomer than the affectation of love" (Emerson 118). By this, Emerson is saying that sometimes the truth, as corrupt of edgy as it may be, is better than lying to be nice.]]> 2018-11-28 02:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308608301 hartsoemarykate https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308609044 On page 122, Emerson is talking about the source of self-reliance, and how once one delves to find the source, they discover that it is instinct. He says, "The inquiry leads us to that source, at once the essence of genius, of virtue, and of life, which we call Spontaneity or instinct" (Emerson 122). ]]> 2018-11-28 02:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308609044 hartsoemarykate https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308610720 In paragraph 23, Emerson makes the argument that man is timid and apologetic. He states, "he is no longer upright; he dares not say 'I think,' 'I am,' but quotes some saint or sage" (Emerson 123). Emerson alludes to the Ayn Rand novel, "Anthem" by including a piece of the quote "I think, therefore I am."  Emerson is making the argument that man will no longer just state his opinion, but rather quote someone else. He then goes on to compare how man should be, to roses. ]]> 2018-11-28 02:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308610720 hartsoemarykate https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308611957 On page 125, Emerson is debunking some social norms of the time, and gives his motiv by saying, "The populace thinks that your rejection of popular standards is a rejection of all standard, and mere antinomianism" (Emerson 125). ]]> 2018-11-28 02:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308611957 hartsoemarykate https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308613306 Emerson closes the essay by saying, "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself" (Emerson 131). This quote is the whole premise of the paper, that man will never be prosperous if he is copying someone else and is not true to his own principles.]]> 2018-11-28 02:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hartsoemarykate/u84fqf5scstp/wish/308613306
