transcendentalism

1). In the story nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson. That's an excellent story he encourages us to look at nature in a different perspective. he believes in using your imagination on how things appear, he believes that this is how god reaches us through our eyes and nature. "when we speak of nature in this manner, we have a distinct but most poetical sense in the mind." Nature is a gook example of transcendentalism because it's Romanticism, It has nature involve in it. "they also believed that god could communicate to people through nature and a persons intuition.
2). Self-reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
that was an pretty good story. in this story he mainly talks about the voices of god. he didn't believe in original in because if we all was born a sinner god wouldn't be able to reach us through nature and I'll minds. "Theses are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter in to the world. this is an good example for transcendentalism because they they didn't believe in people telling you want to do, for example like the government they wouldn't believe in it because it'
s someone telling what you need to do. You shouldn't have to go by that if god is reaching out to you.
3). Resistance to civil government" by Henry David Thoreau:
that was also a very good, that was pretty stopped that they sent hem to jail for not paying his taxis that's why i hat the law. he felt like if he didn't want any more slavery coming to America and he didn't pay for it, and he didn't agree what they was spending the money on he felt like he shouldn't have to pay his taxis either. this story is an example of transcendentalism because he also didn't believe in the government and what they're doing with the money. "can there not be a government in which majorities do not virtually decide right and wrong, but conscience?"
4). if i was in this situation. first of all, i wouldn't get married yet i would make sure if it would work out. Meaning seeing if we could be apart for awhile and see how that goes. seeing if i can trust him that get married, or being in gaude into i finish with my college first.
