An earth shattering fart

I was pretty bummed out, because he didn't get a successful hunt , instead they killed him in the end. But I mean it is his fault for killing that butterfly. He thought he was ready to kill a dinosaur, but in reality he didn't know what he  was going to face.

Decisions

The choices we make right now, does influence our future. Anything we do today does have a part in our further life. For example let's say you choose to not try hard in school, and you get bad grades, then later on you want to actually try in school, but it's going to be to late or to hard to catch up, and since you decided not to try in school , than your behind a lot of credits, and won't be able to graduate. One example on "self-reliance" is that make your own decisions, don't try to imitate another person. You shouldn't copy someone eles choose because what if they make a bad choice, then both of you are going to have bad consequences. Another example on " A sound of thunder" is that be careful on your decisions  you make, because if you do a wrong move or choice there can be a very serious consequences.

My Emerson

my project was about being yourself, to be yourself and also nothing can bring you peace but your work that you have done.  If you give something all you got than that's good, if there is no other way to improve than you should be happy with your results :)

Emerson for the young buck

wow, just wow

Yes, it is a hard essay to understand, I didn't understand some parts , but the parts that I did under I'm just like wow!
When Emerson said" insist on yourself; never imitate" don't waste time trying to be like someone else , spend time on you to be yourself

Emersons quotes

1) " the other terror that scares us from self- trust is our consistency "- A thing that scares us is repeating a thing over and over again

2) " He has a fine Geneva watch but he fails of the skill to tell hour by the sun"  we build so many Machines that we can't  do a simple task

3) "as soon as the man is at one with God he will not beg" - once  a person has what they asked for they would not beg anymore ,  I think what he's trying to say is a person only talks to God when thy need something

4)"nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of your principles" if you give it all you got than that's good , you should be happy

5) "the secret of fortune is joy in our hands" - we can work hard to make sure we are happy in the future, you have to work to get things you deserve

Emerson said it

Emerson said " there is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the convictions that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better or worse as his portion"

I believe it means, that trying to be like someone can hurt you mentally, like stop trying to be like others, that you should love yourself for better or worse because in the end it's YOU.

I'm self-reliance

Dr. Preston I did not re-read Emersons essay, but I do recall some important things that grabbed my attention, and I wrote some notes :)

I just have to say, I really agree with Emerson and what he believes for example  when he said " in every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts;"  like it's true! One time I turned in a personal essay, I believed I needed to fix it way more, but I didn't have enough time so I turned it in thinking "wow I'm going to get a bad grade" but turns out I got an A. I didn't have faith in me, and that's exactly what Emerson pointed out.

Inciting incident

like I mentioned earlier, I'm trying to catch up

Well I re-read the pedestrian and my response is why is this actually happening in real life, like I'm tripping out. He was walking peacefully and a cop decides to pull him over and then the cops says stop or I'll shoot. Why would he shoot, he wasn't even dangerous. Then the  cops was also asking retarded questions. He also took him away for no reason, he didn't do anything!! He was innocent

I  do have a question what does regressive tendencies mean ??

Emersons child

1) Emerson would probably believe that this election was a joke , and the ways that he would tell us to over come  this situation is by staying united, that we are a nation and we should stay together, even Though there is people who agree with the opinions of trump, they should still respect other People and there nationality, religion, etc

2) Emerson would tell us to keep working hard, if you want to succeed, and if we are lost or have any questions about anything then ask for help. Emerson would view that our school has some things to succeed, but he would probably say we need more resources

3) what I think yourself is like be you , like I notice I'm totally a different person when. I'm at school and when I'm at home or at a party but at the same time I'm the same

4) what I can say to a 10 year old is stay true to yourself and just keep moving forward

Today I'm a good human

well I'm catching up in my work, so idk if this makes me a good human
