1.Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I believe that Ralph was trying to explain to people that they are no longer in their old countries. So why should they hold on to the past. Also that they are around new surroundings and that they should enjoy it and make new things of it. Ralph explained that nature was smart. What I mean by this is that nature made all of the things around it. For example " The flowers , the animals, the mountains , reflect the wisdom of his best hour". Also that man needed to learn from nature and see how thing work together in harmony. Most of all that man is just like nature and what I mean by that is that if you want to be happy you have to make yourself happy. Just like nature one day it could be gloomy and cold but the next day it is warm and the sun shinning bright as ever.
2. Self -Reliance
I think Ralph was a very good writer. Because I liked how he expressed his main idea in different ways. The part were I finally understood it was when he used the little boy. The boy would just speak his mind and say whatever he wanted he was him self. When I first stared to read this essay I was kind of lost I had no idea I was under standing what he was trying to say. But as I read on Ralph wants you to have your own thoughts and ideas. He doesn’t want you to agree what with society. Stand up for what you believe in and don’t second guest your self.
