The song "Come As You Are" by Nirvana reflects the ideas seen in Emerson's essay. In the song, it states that the listener should "come as you are, as you were", showing that people should be themselves. In Emerson's essay, he states that people who want to "be a man must be nonconformist" and that people should "absolve you to yourself". In both the song and the essay, it is clear that individuality is important. amastrovich0529 https://padlet.com/amastrovich0529/wbpe7rbnw857/wish/143621610 2016-12-14 15:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/amastrovich0529/wbpe7rbnw857/wish/143621610 3.
