JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "My Way" by Frank Sinatra]
(Do the journal your way. Choose from the options presented yesterday, November 6)
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Continue reading and posting notes for "On Self-Reliance"
IN-CLASS POST:
Please post your notes as we continue to read and discuss
Emerson's essay. Be sure to write down his main points as you
understand them, and include your perspectives and opinions along the
way. (title: "ON SELF-RELIANCE PART 4")
ONE MORE THING:
The real benefit of reading Emerson is the impact thinking like this can have on our daily lives. It's a dense read with lots of vocabulary and references, but the ideas are powerful, so the question is this: Does anything Emerson says inspire you to think and/or act differently? Please explain this in today's notes post. If you haven't found any of Emerson's ideas valuable in this way, explain where you think he falls short-- what is he missing and what would you argue instead?
