On Self Reliance

  In the past month our class has been discussing the essay by Emerson. I learned that I can apply some quotes to my life. I also learned what the thesis was about, and how he arranged his words and the types of words he used and why?
  Emerson uses "On Self Reliance" as his title. "On Self Reliance" means to me to not depend on others to trust yourself. I think the thesis and the title are the same. The essay "On Self Reliance" talks about how everyone is important, and that our dissions are important. That is how the title and thesis relate to each other.
  The essay "On Self Reliance" contains syntax and diction. Emerson arranged his words and chose the words so the reader can understand. Emerson uses high vocabulary words so the reader can figure out what the word means and the reader can expand his or her knowledge. Syntax was used to put a lot information into his essay. Diction was used by using intelligent words.
  The tone of the essay was courages.  Emerson is wrote about his feelings. Emerson wrote the essay so people can understand he he feels. Emerson is serious and honest writing his essay.
  How I can use a quote to my life from Emerson's essay is when Emerson says, " Do not think that the youth has no force, because he cannot speak to you and me." How the quote relates to my life is because I tend not to speak up. I seem to depend on others and don't trust myself. I have noticed that teachers dont like being corrected or being wrong. Some teachers think that the youth comment aren't helpful because they are going young. Reading " On Self Reliance" has made me realized that the youth opinion does matter. 
  Lastly the essay "On Self Reliance" has helped me understand to trust myself. I also learned how to apply quotes to my life.

PROMPT 4

      In the story Young Goodman Brown went through a lot  of obstacles that made him change from being postive to negative person , so he is a dynamic character. Young Goodman Brown started off  believing that his wife was pure and was happy. For an example he loved his wife in the beginning of the story, but then in the end of the story he didn't even want to look at her. "Poor Little Faith" thought he, for his heart smote him. "What a wretch am I, to leave her on such an errand!" Young Goodman Brown didn't want to leave Faith, but later on in the story Young GoodMan Brown changed his mine about Faith."  Often, awaking suddenly at midnight, he shrank from the bosom of Faith, and at morning or eventide, when the family knelt down at prayer, he scowled, and muttered to himself, and gazed sternly at his wife, and turned away." Young Goodman stopped loving Faith.       The obstacles that changed Young Goodman was a dream. Why I know is because &quo

Why Is losing good or bad?

     Is losing in a game or in a sport bad? Losing to me means that you have hope. When you lose you can learn from your mistakes. Learning from your mistakes can make you better in a sport, or in a game.      Losing can show you that you don't always win. So next time you practice harder and see your mistakes, and admit your mistakes so you can improve. An example of a team that never gave up is Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cleveland Cavaliers came back from a 3 to 1 lead. Golden State had to win one more game to become champions, but Cleveland Cavaliers never gave up and they won three games in a row and became champion's. The Cleveland Cavaliers didn't give up they kept on trying saw their mistakes and won.         Losing can be bad also. Losing can bring negatively to a team or to a person. Losing can bring your confidence down by not wanting to play a video game or play a sport. Losing can make you think that you suck. Losing can also make you angry.      Losing can

Essay

How did the book inspire/create thoughts/feelings      After reading the novel "Fahrenheit 451" I got inspired, because "Fahrenheit 451" made me realize how important books are, and how we don't take advantage of  all the books we have, and books are  free to read.  Throughout the chapters of "Fahrenheit 451" a lot of thoughts came to me for example, why Montag began to read books even knowing the consequences of his home being burned down and him. Lastly "Fahrenheit 451" made me feel good, because Montag overcame his obstacles and did what he thought was good for himself and was happy where he ended up at.      Through out my three years of high school I never payed much attention to books. My English teachers would give us an essay to do on a book I would just do the work and never pay much attention the book due to our teachers not explaining the meaning of phrases. Now this year I was fortunate to have an English teacher named Dr.
