Emerson Essay

     In Emerson essay it talked about so many things about life. I understood what Emerson meant in his essay. Many people can say many things about you, but you are the one that chooses who you wanna be. Emerson's title is "On-Self Reliance" is pretty explanatory it talks about you. You are the one who makes the decisions of who you wanna be.
     The main idea of Emerson's tone, diction, and syntax is supported by "Most men gamble with her, and gain all, and lose all, as her wheel rolls." In that quote it means that the desicions that you make in your life depends on you and that the desicions don't control you.
     In the equation that I used and in general the essay helped me that I am the only one who can control my life. In my life i was always a girl that wouldn't be me because I would always care what people think about me. This year I dont care what people think about me I just do what I want to do. I dont regret on thinks that I do. I am happy with myself. I learned that when you are not yourself you are never going to be happy. Just make the best decisions in your life and just be you. Dont make people decide on what you wanna be, but you.
     I agree with everything what Emerson said. He explained so many ways on how we should discover ourselves and not others discovering you. I like how I read the essay and did not understand until Dr. Preston explained some passages. The quotes that Emerson added in the essay was really interesting. One of my favorite quotes from the essay is "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself" in this quote you are the only person that can make things happen in yourself. As well as peace no one is going to bring you peace, but yourself. You are the only one that can make you desicions and control yourself on what you do.
     In this essay I learned so much. It was confusing at first, but then I understood what the whole essay meant. I agree with Emerson and just find yourself. Dont let others control your own life. I believe that you can decide the person that you want to be in life.

Where Dreams Come True! PART 2

DISNEYLAND!😁 Today was the last day of going to disneyland. Today we were able to go to every ride. It was so tiring we had to walk so much it was really fun though. Today I took some new pictures that I want to share with you. My favorite ride of today was the Indiana Jones. The worst one was the Haunted Mansion. In the ride we got stuck we had to waited for 30 minutes in line just to get stuck in that ride. I was really frustrated when the game got stuck. Inside the ride we had to wait about 20 minutes just sitting down and the song of the ride was getting me annoyed. I was so mad because I wasted my time in that ride so I could get stuck in that ride. Ohh well the rest of my day was so fun.For breakfast we ate some yogurt and waffles it was alright it's the hotel food. For lunch we ate pizza in pizza planet. It was so good the pizza tastes different than Costco, little cesar, and etc. . Im not going to forget this day and yesterday's day either. I keep creating memories wh...

Response for Young GOODMAN BROWN

What did you guys think of the ending of the story of "Young Goodman Brown"? In the ending of the story of "Young Goodman Brown" I knew something bad was going to happen. In the story it shows how Gooman Brown dies because he had a pale face. I think he should still have a life because he should experience a life as a father and seen his kids grow and then he should experience a life as a grandfather.
