Consequently, she educated herself and read countless books independently. Matilda's work ethic and self-reliance mirrors that encouraged by Emerson, who states "no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil."]]> 2020-01-26 22:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rsahota5744/zrtfc1gboyfy/wish/436194102 rsahota5744 https://padlet.com/rsahota5744/zrtfc1gboyfy/wish/436195477 "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself."]]> 2020-01-26 22:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rsahota5744/zrtfc1gboyfy/wish/436195477 rsahota5744 https://padlet.com/rsahota5744/zrtfc1gboyfy/wish/436198498 Foster the People's "Call It What you Want" criticizes the tendency of people to conform to society by revealing that "we're locked up in ideas, we like to label everything." He then goes on to demonstrate his independence through the lyrics "I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here cause I gotta keep myself free." These ideas of non-conformity align with those discussed in Emerson's "Self-Reliance."]]> 2020-01-26 22:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rsahota5744/zrtfc1gboyfy/wish/436198498 rsahota5744 https://padlet.com/rsahota5744/zrtfc1gboyfy/wish/436200717 Mary Wollstonecraft was an early advocate of women's rights in the 18th century. Despite common belief that women were inferior to men, Wollstonecraft stated that this only seemed to be true due to the lack of education for women.
