On Self Reliance Essay

Everyone has a different thought towards something. As much as we agree or disagree there is always different perspectives on it. In the essay “On Self Reliance” by Ralp Waldo Emerson he explains how each individual has there own opinion and their own ways of explaining it. He also explains why we should care about our thoughts instead of what others think. Emerson’s tone, diction and syntax throughout the essay expresses his own opinion and thought based off his experience. His ideas can help me in my own life by learning to have confidence and trusting my beliefs.

“On Self Reliance,” Emerson expresses his thought of trusting yourself with powerful descriptions using tone, diction and syntax. His tone is what makes his essay more predominating. In the first paragraph he states “In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thought.” His statement says that all the work that we’ve done is the true meaning on what we believe. Diction is used throughout the essay; but in the beginning of the essay he says “ Ne te quaesiveris extra.” He uses English language but it was different form of literature when it was written. The quote is trying to say to not seek for things that you don’t usally go for. In the essay there are different forms that expresses his language in syntax. Emerson’s writing uses words that aren’t used in day today. Some of the words that he uses are contemporaries which stands for existing and another one is abide which means to keep going.

The ideas that Emerson explains can help me by caring more for my own thoughts. His ideas will help me in life right now and in the future to take more seriously my thoughts. In paragraph 16 it says “Act singly, and what you have already done singly will justify you now.” This quote is saying to be individual and your work will show how you achieve. From what Emerson said it connects on to how  you want to be presented and on how hard you want to work.

Therefore it is best to follow your own thoughts to achieve on what is yours. You’ll also won’t need to relie on others opinions because we all don’t have the same thinking. Lastly, it is best to show what you know to be able to describe your level of creativity.

Monday, October 15,2018
-From today’s reading I understood that it’s best if you listen to what you think is best and to follow it. You should recommend doing by it by making big it a goal.

What I learned today about Self-Reliance

Emerson essay expresses his believe by saying that children and babies are in charge of running other peoples lives. Adults listen more to younger kids or babies because they can start to cry and not stop until they get what they want. People also have different ways of thinking and on having an opinion based off their perspective.

Same Words Different People

While the conversation I had with my friend based off the meaning onto our vocabulary I learned that there are different meaning they use to describe a word. My friend said that the definition for meme can also be a picture that can go viral. A second meaning I learned about virus from my friend is that it can block you from entering your device.

Young Goodman Brown & Dream Within a Dream Essay

         When we’re asleep and dreaming of an endless moment it’s just temporary fantasy that suddenly fades away. In the story of “Young Goodman Brown,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, he shows how a dream can take power over your mind. The poem “A Dream Within A Dream,” by Edgar Allan Poe describes how dreams can be made up of anything, good or bad, but it soon fades away because it isn’t real, it’s our imagination. From the poem and story it’s based off how a dream can change your way of thinking. But both stories have a different meaning towards their dreams.

         Dreams can overcome your thoughts towards anything. In “Young Goodman Brown” Brown had gone into the forest and then a figure appears and started talking to him about his family which lead him to loose faith and trust. In paragraph 15 the figure of a person said “ I helped your grandfather, the constable, when he lashed the Quaker woman so smartly through the streets of Salem.” As the figure of the person had told Brown this information about his grandfather he couldn’t think of any reason onto how a stranger  knows certain information about his family. In paragraph 19 and 20 Brown says “ there is my wife, Faith. It would break her dear little heart; and I’d rather break my own! Nay if that be the case, answered the other, e’en go thy ways, Goodman Brown.” From this text it’s shows the trust  that Brown has in the person that he had berly meet  instead of his own thought. Due to the confidence that Brown shows towards the person it means that he would believe and do what he says.

        Our dreams is a form of experience based off our emotions and what we want ourselves to think. In the poem “A Dream Within a Dream,” the author Edgar Allan Poe describes how a dream can be hard to remember like trying to hold sand in the palm of your hand. On line 6-9 it says “ Yet if hope has flown away, In night, or in a day, In vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone?” The quote is say that it doesn’t matter the time of how your dream happened or how it did are you still able to remember everything thing? Also on lines 14-16 it says “ And I hold within my hand, Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep.” From the quote the author is comparing how hard it is to keep the same amount of sand in your hand without it falling off with trying to remember what your whole dream was exactly about. Stating what the poem ment is that dreams can’t be fully remembered.
     
        Dreams are a way to imagine what we want but won’t be able remember because it was our imagination. As hard as it can seem to remember what really happened it was just a period of time where we used our thoughts. Therefore both poems have similarities meanings  but different descriptions onto perusing there point.

Letter to a mentor draft

Dear Life Science Contributor Stephanie Papas,
         
              I really found your article “Why do we Sleep?” interesting. It got to my attention that no sleep can change people’s attitudes. Do people get sick if they don’t sleep the hours required? What I think is that people who sleep less than they’re supposed to don’t have the same thinking and are always drowsy. My big question about sleep that I have is why is sleep needed?
                            Sincerely,
                                   Yaraldi Garcia
