I couldn't live without my phone because you can do so much with it. Like texting, calling, taking pictures, etc. I would say goodbye to my family, and friends. I definitely would say goodbye face-to-face because a letter is just not right. ]]> 2019-02-05 18:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/327926285 aalbarano21 https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/328417382 Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote "Self-Reliance" and strongly supported the idea that society is a dangerous place and will mess with your self worth. In his excerpt he wrote "imitation is suicide" (Emerson). This describes how society works in the world today. By trying to be like other people, you are ruining yourself. Everyone is expected to be like each other, but by doing so your damaging yourself. The biggest issue in modern society is that everyone judges each other. Being yourself is not an option if you want to live freely, someone will always judge.]]> 2019-02-06 18:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/328417382 aalbarano21 https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/329340147 This quote from "Walden" by Thoreau means you only live once so live the life you aspire to live. My dreams are to graduate high school and college by getting good grades and working hard. Also my dreams further in life are to find a really good job, and start a family. But first I want to get married, then have kids. The way I can live to work towards my goals/dreams is to let life flow, and live in the moment. ]]> 2019-02-08 18:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/329340147 aalbarano21 https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/329344804 This quote by Thoreau means that people who do their own thing and are on their own page, they will be treated differently. A person that can relate to this is someone in one of my classes. They always say random things and laugh randomly. For example the teacher will be talking and they will just say something off topic. Usually the class reacts by laughing. ]]> 2019-02-08 18:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/329344804 aalbarano21 https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/330030984 Transcendentalism is a movement that focuses on nature and individualism. In one recent movie called Wonder the little boy had different features then all the other kids because of a genetic disorder. All the kids in his classes would make fun of him because of this. This showed influence of transcendentalism because he became best friends with this one kid who didn't care about his appearance. They could both be themselves without being judged. ]]> 2019-02-11 18:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/330030984 aalbarano21 https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/330605294 While I was disconnected from my phone I felt different in a good way. It was nice to not stare at my Instagram or go on snap chat every 5 minutes. I noticed that in everyone's free time during class they would go on their phones rather then talking to their friends around them. In my opinion constant communication has an overall positive impact because it keeps you involved and gives you a chance to make new friends. If it was easy to live without a phone I would 100 percent rather not have one.]]> 2019-02-12 23:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/330605294 aalbarano21 https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/330948423 In the excerpt from Nature the author wrote "The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child" -Emerson. I chose this quote because I can relate to it. I don't really look at nature anymore and think wow this is so cool, its kind of just there. What this quote means is that as a child you experience things fully but as an adult you don't think about it like that. Nature is more fun to think about when you are just a kid.]]> 2019-02-13 18:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/330948423 aalbarano21 https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/333256341 In the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost he had to make a choice that he regretted. A choice I'm going to make that will change everything for me is going to college. This will change my path in life because it will help me get a degree to get a good job. I don't wish I could go back and change it because it didn't happen yet. But when it does happen I don't think I will want to go back and change it. ]]> 2019-02-20 16:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/333256341 aalbarano21 https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/333262413 2019-02-20 16:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aalbarano21/ztvqzvjcopy4/wish/333262413
