      Emerson's essay on Self-Reliance is all about having to be your own self, and not try to be like others. His tone gives us a good strong feeling about what exactly it is he wants to to learn. I will sum all this up and explain to you how Emerson's thoughts and ideas can help me with my own life.       Emerson's main goals in the essay is to persuade us readers to be our own selves, and try not to be another version of someone else. He wants us to have our own voice, to be someone unique, and honest with ourselves, and with others. The way we are able to do all of this is by standing out, standing out as in be someone that people want to be, try to step up as the leader, and make people want you. You make yourself, and you can't be scared about others bringing you down with their hate. Emerson's is all about this, he really tries so hard to make you understand that we are all our own kind of beautiful.       This essay has a really s...

We have been reading and analyzing Emerson's Self- Reliance, and i have to say, this has really been helping me learn more about his writing and his thoughts. These are the notes that i took.        If you are told what to do all day, you will not have to think much. If you are never told on what to do, you will work hard to try and find your source. Learning means changing your mind. You get more info and you think about changing your mind. There will also be those people that call you a fraud, or saying that you are not true to your word, but what those people do not get is that we all learn and change our thinking. Our job is to look for ourselves, not try to look around and find someone you should be. Just because your life is becoming lucky, does not mean it will last forever, we will always have some bad days, but nothing will bring you peace but yourself. We can all go to others for help and ball our eyes over someone, but in the end, we have to come back to...

-Words I did not understand: Eminent: to be respected, or have respect Admonition: an act of giving warning Sentiment: an emotion or view towards something -Ideas: Emerson wants us the readers to follow our individual self instead of confronting to social expectations Emerson wants us to be our own voice and follow what we say, not what other people want us to believe, such as a church Emerson believes the readers should always be honest in the relationship with whom they are talking to

       The story "Young Goodman Brown" and the poem "Dream Within A Dream"  can make us think about how we look at dreaming. The stories have many in common, though they also have other things that are different from each other.       The story " Young Goodman Brown" and the poem "Dream Within A Dream" make us look at the fact how we dream and what is going on. Both of them have a realistic feeling to them as if we were in the setting. They also dont tell us the readers that they both take place in a dream, we had to figure that out for ourselves. This is a nice feature they put in their writings and they keep us the readers really entertained. Also it makes us eager to find out what the concept is. Young Goodman Brown and A Dream Within A Dream are both alike because they have a concept of making the reading a dream but they dont actually tell us.       Young Goodman Brown is different from A Dream Within A Dream because of the s...

These are my answers to the "Young Goodman Brown" questions. 1.  What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story?        I think his purpose in writing this story was to explain to us that we all have different mind sets. Many of us have a different way of seeing the world, and also have different ways of expressing ourselves to the world. 2. Hawthorne states that Brown's wife is "aptly named" Faith.  After reading the story, do you agree?  Does Faith's name fit her personality?  Does Brown have true faith in her?    Yes, i agree and feel like Faith's name fits her personality. The writer did a good job in setting this character up with the story in how Brown had to leave his Faith behind. Since his wife's name is Faith, we the readers look at it as if he left his wife, and he lost his faith in himself. 3. What do you think the pink ribbons signify? I think the pink ribbons signify that faith wil...

Young Goodman Brown was not dreaming in the story. This story seemed way to real to even be a dream. When he was on his walk, he felt off about his surroundings and didn't feel comfortable. This meaning he was scared, but he actually felt fear, not like in dreams where you cant feel much. And even the day after this had all happened, Young Goodman Brown was not normal. He had been scared of everyone  and felt as if everyone had a bad side to him. He lived on to always feel this way, to everyone, yes even to his wife Faith. Now this is the reason i believe it was not a dream, because if it were just a dream, he it wouldn't have any impacts on how he looks at other people. But because it was never a dream, and it was reality, his life got changed, all of it is changed.
