Transcendentalism

1. In the story “From Nature” they were talking about transcendenlists in all kinds of ways. They are also talking how god speaks through everybody mind and he doesn’t say the same thing to each other. He tells each person some thing different. While you going to into the society you will not be able to let your mind wonder off, but if you were alone you probably would be able to.

The story mainly speaks about the beauty of nature and the many things that we see. Nature never wears a mean appearance. What they mean about that is nature is going to have something to do with how you feel, like one day if you’re in a good mode it probably will be a good day. Or if you have a bad day you will start noticing things that will make you have a bad day.

2. The story “Self Reliance” talks about how you should trust in your self and you should believe in your self. God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. He says that if you are scared to do what he asks you, he will not ask you to do nothing else for him.

“And we are now men, and must accept in all the highest mind the same transcendent destiny.” Now that they are older they need to listen to there mind and hear what god is telling them. The transcendentalist believed that god spoke through the mind and there hard work.

3. Resistance to Civil Government talks about American government and how most of the laws weren’t right. Thoreau believed that too respect for the law could lead people doing things that they should do. They believed that they should do what ever god told them to do and not what the government told them to do. “Would never manage to bounce over the obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way.” Like all the hard things that you have to over come in your life.

4. Each one of the writing is a good example of transcendentalism because they talk about seeing things through nature. And they also talk about god speaking through everybody mind and he don’t tell people the same thing, everyone is spoken to differently.
