EMERSON'S CHILD

1. I think Emerson would view the 2016 presidential election as embarrassing. However, I think Emerson would suggest we try to unite and deal with what we've got. We have to try and make this country better and the only way we can do that is to be postive and move foward.

.
2. He would probably suggest we read more books and learn new information each day. Well I think he'd say my career and school goals are pretty much everyone's goals but they're good. He'd advise me to volunteer at various places.

3. Emerson means be yourself by doing what makes you happy instead of trying to please everyone by living up to society's expectations. Be yourself and don't pay attention to what people Mau say or think about you cause you're happy with who you are. We can try to incorporate Emerson's ideas by reevaluating ourselves.

4. I would explain Emerson's ideas to a ten year old by telling him or her to be themselves, it's okay to be a different.

An Earth shattering fart

The story is really good so far. There is a lot of detail bit the paragraphs are short and are easy to understand.

Emerson presentation notes

"The only way to have a friend is to be a friend." Being honest is what gets you friends.
"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself " Only you can make yourself happy.
Let opinions be heard whether they are good or bad.
Don't give up in life, work hard and you can accomplish anything.
You got to do what you have to for yourself, go out there and do you.
"To be great is to be misunderstood." Don't listen to what people say about you .
You can't sit around and wait for happiness, you go to get it for yourself.
"Society is a wave that moves onward but the water of which it is composed does not ." Society is always changing but we don't change who we are.
Never worry about backing up your own ideas and beliefs.
Don't conform to society's expectations.

EMERSON FOR THE YOUNG BUCK

In Emerson's essay he speaks about how all of us are unique and can accomplish great things if we believe and trust ourselves. He says it's okay to be different from the people around you and to speak your mind. Don't let anyone hold you back from being you because you are amazing.

EMERSON SAID IT

1. "Speak your latent conviction and it shall be the universal sense; for the immost in due time becomes the outmost."
Meaning: speak your mind so others can help you out

2. "Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes impression on him, and another none."
Meaning: there are things that make impressions on us, and there are some things that don't make am impression on us.
3. "We but half express ourselves and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents."
Meaning: we don't want to share our full ideas with others because we are afraid of being wrong and being judged
4. "The secret of fortune is joy in our hands."
Meaning: If we find something we enjoy doing and have a passion for it, then we don't see it as work because what we do makes us feel happy
5. "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself."
Meaning: We make ourselves happy by doing things for ourselves.

I'm self reliant
