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.

F451 FINAL ESSAY

     In the novel Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury talks about Montag being a dynamic character. A dynamic character is someone that changes from beginning to end of the story. Three ways that proves Montag changing is when he was happy burning a house with books, Montag meeting Clarisse, and Montag seeing the lady that died with her books. In the story Montag is a man that goes to work and burns books down. Not only that, but he is also a depressing man since he has so many problems. All this changes when Montag meets a girl named Clarisse.       Tje characters evolution can reflect on the theme because it's about censorship. Theme is the central message of the book. Montag proves how books should not be burned. In the story shows how in that time of society books are not real, but burned. Throughout the story it shows how that changes. Tone can also reflect toward the character because it's the authors attitude towards that audience, character, or situa...

I'm in CHARGE

Some high school students need to be told what to do all the time and reminded or threatened when they dont get work done. Independent work could be challenging, but I like it because you can test yourself on how far you can go. Me in my personal experience even though it's hard YOU CAN DO IT. The only thing you have to do is care about doing the work. Just like playing any game even though it's hard you are still going to try to pass the level and it's the same thing as school. You just have to care about the things you do at school. Why have someone bugging you when you know what you have to do? It's better to do things independently because you know what you have to do and once you are older no one is going to tell you what to do. It's better to get prepared at school so that you know what to do when you are older. There is some people like teachers that bug you because they care about you and because they dont want you to fell, but it's not their work to b...
