Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bellringer“In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life.” ~ Emerson

Recap: We began our transcendentalism unit with Ralph Waldo Emerson, the pioneer of the movement. His biography is on page 360 in the textbook, and there is also a biography shared with you. The book focuses more on his involvement with the movement, with the shared biography focuses more on Emerson as a person.

We then read "Nature" and "Self-Reliance" in the textbook, focusing on aphorisms. Please refer back to yesterday's notes if you are unsure of what these are.

Nice work today. Have a nice evening!
