Instead, Americans began to produce goods for others to make profit, but that meant there was going to be competition. It was difficult for farmers and merchants to sell because selling locally did not get them enough money, they wanted to sell to England and other countries but they needed a way of transportation. The steam boat was invented for easier transportation of the goods. They had also built a commercial railroad reaching Baltimore to Ohio, it was thirty thousand miles worth of rails.  Transcendentalists were trying to redefine freedom to change the world.  Transcendentalism was to give them more freedom, but the market revolution left them with much less freedom than they already had before.]]> 2018-03-20 20:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244261996 From Solitude 4871111 https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244265728 In From Solitude by Thoreau he is explaining his life away from any other people and living what people call a "lonely life" .Thoreau got used to living in the woods by himself, by admiring nature in the surrounding area where he lives.

Transcendentalism 487450 https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244348051 Romanticism was a movement of the art and literature. People would emphasize their inspirations in their daily life through literature. It showed their primacy of being an individual. Transcendentalism is a bit different, people would emphasize the confidence in their intuition. More citizens were self reliant and didn't need a government or an inspiration to guide them. Everyone had some sort of appreciation towards nature, tried to break away from technology, and advances in society. Everyone was their own true individual.]]> 2018-03-21 03:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244348051 What is Thoreau Exaggerating 4871111 https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244618435 On page 209 Thoreau is talking about how people only do a lot of things to socialize. He gives the example that when the fire bell is ringing people not only rush out to save there land but to say that they were there and experienced it. Doing all of this he exaggerates how much we are all in each others bushiness, to explain his life of solitude.]]> 2018-03-21 16:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244618435 A Man In Solitude 4871111 https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244624147 2018-03-21 16:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244624147 Transcendentalism Quotes 4871111 https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244625184 "After a night’s sleep the 
news is as indispensable as the breakfast. “Pray tell me any thing new 
that has happened to a man any where on this globe,”—and he reads 
it over his coffee and rolls, that a man has had his eyes gouged out this 
morning on the Wachito River; never dreaming the while that he lives 
in the dark unfathomed mammoth cave of this world, and has but the 
rudiment of an eye himself."(lines 75-81) Thoreau
" I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front 
only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had 
to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. 
I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I 
wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted 
to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."(lines 26-31)

I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

He expresses the beauty of it and also say he "thinks to himself, what a wonderful world". The way he says that relates to solitude, which is keeping to your self and enjoying nature and its beauty. That is what transcendentalism is all about. Thoreau writes, he always goes to the woods for an open mind to be formed. Living with an open mind makes life so dear.]]> 2018-03-21 20:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/4871111/um4dcb08ejf9/wish/244751593
