Unit Two-Romanticism and Transcendentalism

1)I think that theme is the main idea or main plot of an story.No,you cant know what the theme is until you have read the story or a paragraph,then you can figure out what the theme is.The standard juss means,that the student should breakdown and analyze whatthe story is talking about,and that the studemt should use evidence from the story.

2)I think the romantic part about the story is that he loved his family.Aslo something else thats romanticism from the story is that he sleeps for over 20 years and imagines things,and romaticms is really your imgaination of something that isnt really real .

3)This poem first illustrates nature and death.he says in the poem that "if anyone is sceare of nature,that they should go out into the nature and listen to the voices",-(that's the direct evidence).You cant really listen to the voices because nature doesnt talk,so i guess this is how he's sayin to use your imagination.The second focus was strange because he saying that the nature are talking to the writer,it;s saying that anyone who sceared of nature shouyldnt be sceared because nature cant hurt you.The last theme illustrates that he's saying that anyone who dies is the same thing as an king or something.

4)ELAALRL1-With this, I addressed the standard when I explain what he said in question 3,and i thinks that's him using imagery.

ELAALRL2 -with this standard we have to use evidence in what we are tlking about.If we're telling something about a story,we will use direct evidence ,i used this standard in question 3.

ELAALRL3-This standard means,that relating someing old to something in todays world.Like an rapper back then to an rapper ntoday,with the same style of rapping.



5)Nature" by Ralph Waldo Emerson-What Ithought about the piece of writing is that ,the only thing the Author really talked about was Nature.I didnt really get what he was meaning,but all of the ways how the author thinks is crazy to me.Like when it says "To speak truly few adult persons can see nature.Most persons do not see the sun".
Self-Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson-In this story it talks about how mens working ang accomplishing things.It says,"Great men have always did so fine and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age.


6)Next, write explain how each piece is a good example of Transcendentalism by identifying the central themes I described earlier in the post. Use what you read above, and prove that each piece is a good example with a paragraph supported with direct evidence (one paragraph each).


Nature" by Ralph Waldo Emerson-One of the Central themes that sticks out to me is when the Author sed :Nature says-he is my creatureand maugre,all his impertinent griefs,he shall be
glad with me",I guess this is like how they believed god could communicate to peole through nature...
Self-Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson- An good example of Transcendentalsim is that voices is talking are talking example"These are voices which we hear in solitude but they grow faint and inaudible as we into the world.




7) How can you apply Transcendental philosophy to the man in this video? I'm sure you could easily spend a couple paragraphs telling me how. I also know it would be easy for you to back up whatever you say with direct evidence from the texts you have already read. If you are really into it, you might read a little of Henry David Thoreau's Walden Just choose a couple sections you think you would like.
This is very good video I think.It's amazing how this man lived in the wilderness for 35 years and maede it by hisself.He found space and built him an house or cabbin,and made a place for him to live.He ate fish from the lake near his house.This is an example of Transcedental because it's just the man really believed noone was thier but god and him,and the wild animals.And also he was in the Nature life.
