EMERSON FOR THE YOUNG BUCK

 Something I've learned or made sense out of, is how he states,us, humans are self-conscious and remorsefull on things we do or say.Also to add to that, we have a problem with society pressuring us, in a way that society will judge us diffrently or say things about one. Which leads, by him stating that we need to ignore socities commentary and ideas and be ourselves, not something we truly aren't.But, if I could sum up his purpose about On Self-Reliance it would be three points. 1. Self-reliance with one self.  2. Self-Reliance with Society  3. Promotion of Self-Reliance as an idea. These are the three ideas I believe,because his whole essay is about us trying to be moved on how we need to stop worrying about what society has to say toward ourselves. Also being dependent with oursleves, so us  trusting ourself and not ignoring our thoughts and ideas. Make our ideas/thoughts realize and take them in consideration.Lastly having this as an idea. So like making an idea out of it, Emerson writing all these phenomenal ideas and examples to persuade us in believing we should ignore society and be oursleves. Besides him stating how we should ignore society, be true to ourself, etc. I also learned he has unique diction to express what he is feeling and trying to persuade us with soothing literary devices.If I could evaluate Emerson I would say he is an awesome writer because 1. This is a 175 year old essay that the 21st century is still evaluating and reading to understand what he is trying to let us know. 2. His II Essay, which is this one,is so unique because it's so concidencical how society is the essential thing in this decade of time and how it's hard to agree or disagree what he has to say. These are some of the few things I have learned from Emerson's writing.

A HUG IS NEARLY A GUN SPELLED BACKWARDS I completely agree with E.M. Foster's view because people will have a healthy, long-lasting life. I also think people are responsible for achieving these purposes.   I believe that E.M. Foster's view is a firm assertion. For instance, studies show that if we have personal relations we have a chance of having a healthy,long-lasting life spand. To add to that, studies have also shown people with no personal relations have a higher chance to catch a cold or flu and feel unhealthy.Other than, having a healthy and long-lasting life people also have better communication skills. Such as, people working together as a team and showing teamwork efforts. Also, understanding, suggesting, one another is a key idea of people improving their communication skills and having  better relations. Lastly, listening to gain full meaning of one another is the most important communication skill, people improve and learn from these personal relations.  ...

WE EAT SOCIAL MEDIA Notably, we can see from the author's use of diction,syntax,tone,and rhetorical strageties to develop his main arguments, are asserted well.   From the beginning, he introduces his tone of what he is feeling about this subject quite unsettled, this is because the subject is the Internet expanding to something more than electronics, social media, and "pictures" portrayed differently than they used to be. For example, before smart phones and the internet started to develop the only thing people had was "Polaroid or Developing cameras which you had to go through a process which took awhile and was quite expensive to have these images be developed",because of this later on you would show the family all the pictures in albums. While on the other hand, with phones and the internet being a drastic change to society it had a "different impact on us because we don't show our pictures like we used to we do it on social media ". Which t...

                                                     LITERATURE ANALYSIS 1. The book I decided to read was Night . This book is about a teenager,named Elie Wiesel born in the  town Sighet,Transylvania. His family was taken from their home in 1944 to the Auchwitz concentration camp, and then to the Buchenwald. After that tragedy begins. 2. The theme would be universal and fundamental ideas. FAITH would be Wiesel's dominant conflict . 3. I would say Wiesel's mornings would be very ceasing. By that I mean not having the ability to keep on going. His morning routine would be wake up early and work for the "evil men". I would also add to that while they are working their life's out there, there was a chance they would get executed for no reason,for the pleasure of violently taking a life away. An excerpt that follows with him ceasing would be where ...
