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.

YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN

In the story of "Young Goodman Brown" is about 2 persons that are named Faith and young Goodman Brown. Both of their name is had a meaning.

Literature Analysis: A Work in Process

My Secret Guide To Paris by Lisa Schroeder 1. There is a girl that goes to Paris and her dream came true. 2. The theme of the story is a girl going to Paris and doing a treasure hunt that her grandma did for her to know more about Paris. 3. The authors morning routine is probably busy. She probably sleeps late and wakes up early since she has things to do. I think that the author drinks coffee. I dont think she gets drunk and gets hungover. She estas some good breakfast such as eggs, bacon, and some waffles. In the book it talks about Paris and food is something also special about Paris. Food is something about culture. That's why I think that she does all that because the character does so much things related to the author. 4. 5 literally techniques from the book are diction, epigraph, metaphor, foreshadowing,  and imagery. They all connect to the book because each thing has their meaning and they all make sense on how the author uses them in the book. Next Level 1. Wh...
