The Market Revolution provided new opportunities and increased freedom, but it also brought concern. Henry David Thoreau was worried that the Market Revolution would actually crush an individual's judgment or their freedom within themselves. This lead to the spark in the  Transcendentalism movement because the soul of each individual is identical with the soul of the world and contains what the world contains. The idea that ones intellectual freedom was a process of self realization, individuals could remake themselves and their own lives. The Market Revolution lead to the realization that it was killings peoples own spirit and free will.]]> 2018-03-19 19:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/243730502 Romanticism VS Transcendentalism 489019 https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/243730669 Transcendentalists saw the natural world as a doorway to a mystical or an ideal world. They were trying to redefine freedom in a changing world. They argued that freedom resided in an individual's power to remake oneself and maybe even the world. Romanticism is a movement in art, literature, and music that values intuition over reason. Romanticist believed spiritual truths can be frighting but overall focused on self expression and the individual rather then society. These two are very different; Transcendentalism focused on the reality, while Romanticism focused on spiritual beliefs. ]]> 2018-03-19 19:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/243730669 Henry David Thoreau's Walden 487225 https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/243731512 “I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.” 
“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” ]]> 2018-03-19 19:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/243731512 what point is he exaggerating 487225 https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/244244807 "I might almost say, but would forsake all and follow that 
sound, not mainly to save property from the flames, but, if we will 
confess the truth, much more to see it burn, since burn it must, and 
we, be it known, did not set it on fire,—or to see it put out, and have a 
hand in it, if that is done as handsomely..."(209,Thoreau) 

Thoreau is explaining that we as humans feel that if we were not apart of the cause for the problem that it is none of our business or the situation doesn't concern us. As normal humans we assume that we have to mind our own business, even if we could be helping in some sort of way. ]]> 2018-03-20 19:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/244244807 An Image That Comes to Mind 487225 https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/244246287

Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What life is really worth
It's not all that glitters is gold
'Alf the story has never been told
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. Come on!
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!
Great God will come from the skies
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You will look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your rights. Jah!
Get up, stand up! 
Stand up for your rights!"

Bob Marley is explaining how you will never now your true worth or how much you mean to people until you're gone. We take many things for granted, including Heaven. If you know what life is worth, you value your life and your existence a lot more. We take our life and our safety for granted. One day we'll be gone and wont be able to take anything for granted.]]> 2018-03-21 19:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/244716286 Explanation of Argument in Solitude 487225 https://padlet.com/487225/wph7zbuxb2fy/wish/244716743 Thoreau isn't sad all on his own. He finds Nature a continuous source of friendliness and cheer. Besides, he finds that he has a kind of split personality, where one side of him is a spectator observing what the other side of him is doing. So, he's not really alone – a little crazy, but not alone. He explains that he is only alone in the sense that a flower or a fly or a bee is alone in a pasture. Thoreau is alone in a sense but he is not alone in his own mind.
