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.

BREAKING the LAW

When is it wrong to break the law? When is it right? To be honest I never thought about this before. Now that I have the question I have to think about it. Well on what I think when you are breaking the law is when you actually have that feeling that you are doing something wrong. If you have a weird feeling that you should not do something then you should know that you are doing something that you shouldn't be doing. When it is right to break the law well you can feel that you are not doing something bad. You might have a good cause of breaking the rule and not just because you want to. So it kinda makes sense in when you should not break the law or when you should.

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. Later on in the story I think that something bad is going to happen because for some reason Faith was holding him back. I feel like Faith knows something that Goodman Brown doesn't.
