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 Questions

In the story Fahrenheit 451 in part one its titled "The Hearth and the Salamander". The author uses these title because in mythology salamanders represent fire which is capable of starting and putting fires. This can relate to Montag because since he is a firefighter he starts fired by burning books. That's what I think the author chose that title for part one.  " It was a pleasure to burn. It was a pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed" in this quote the assumption that the reader could make is that the firemen don't like books. They burn books because they think that books are not useful. The author chose to characterize a water hose with a great python because since the water hose shots to put down fires. The great python just shoots venom. They both relate because they both do something when they shoot. It is a negative thing that they are doing because they just start fires. At first I was confused I did not know what F451...
