Billy's management of the Oakland As in the movie demonstrates lots of "trust [in] thyself" as he creates a team of abstract and abnormal players based on what he thinks is fitting. He goes against the will of the other coaching staff as he is "misunderstood" in his ideas of building this team and goes with his gut. Billy "put[s] his heart in his work and [does] his best" and ends up succeeding because of his will.]]> 2022-01-31 01:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ahansen6537/wtvhjgmta31ko1ov/wish/2020469214 ahansen6537 https://padlet.com/ahansen6537/wtvhjgmta31ko1ov/wish/2020481661 The song, "Me, Myself, and I" is very parallel to Emerson's claims about self reliance. The song describes the independence of one's self through life. Through a plethora of lyrics, such as "solo ride until I die," "I don't need a hand to hold," "I got that fire in my soul," and "I got me for life" all demonstrate the self reliant ideals stated in Emerson's paper. The fire in her soul parallels the trust and confidence within herself to do what she thinks she should do. "I don't need a hand to hold" reflects Emerson's suggestion of only believing in herself and aspiring to use independence as a way of life. ]]> 2022-01-31 02:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ahansen6537/wtvhjgmta31ko1ov/wish/2020481661 ahansen6537 https://padlet.com/ahansen6537/wtvhjgmta31ko1ov/wish/2020485942 Martin Luther King Jr was very ahead of his time demonstrated by his beliefs versus the society that he lived in. King's wish for equality for people seemed unrealistic, abomination-able, and truly absurd. Due to the racial segregation being the social norm, a good majority of people thought King to be foolish in that there could truly be a time where white and black children could use the same water fountains, go to the same schools, interact daily. Yet in today's day and age, we are a representation of what MLK wanted in his dream. ]]> 2022-01-31 02:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ahansen6537/wtvhjgmta31ko1ov/wish/2020485942 ahansen6537 https://padlet.com/ahansen6537/wtvhjgmta31ko1ov/wish/2020502224 This image represents the quote "let us advance and advance on chaos and the dark." The dark barren forest with the lone explorer illustrates the idea of self reliance among the terrors of life and chaos. The traveller is choosing to advance further into the woods to understand the nature of the woods' chaos, like Emerson suggests we do.]]> 2022-01-31 02:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ahansen6537/wtvhjgmta31ko1ov/wish/2020502224 ahansen6537 https://padlet.com/ahansen6537/wtvhjgmta31ko1ov/wish/2020522754 Chris McCandless symbolizes Emerson's self reliance in a multitude of ways. Through his aspirations to live alone in the woods alone for months, as well as the denial of help from his hitchhike driver Gallien or friend Westerberg. Chris wants to find himself independently through nature.]]> 2022-01-31 03:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ahansen6537/wtvhjgmta31ko1ov/wish/2020522754
