MY EMERSON
For my Emerson project I will be bringing 2 eggs. I will be doing this presentation with my friends Ale Llamas. We thought that bringing a hard boiled and uncooked egg would represent Emerson main idea in a unique way. Both eggs will represent persons in society. The uncooked egg will be representing how a person can break all of a sudden if we put a lot of pressure on them. The hard boiled egg will be repsenting how if a person is not put into much pressure on how to be self reliant, then it'll come out as a beautiful result besucase it'll be opening itself to the wold piece by piece.

EMERSON FOR THE YOUNG BUCK
I have learned so many things from Emerson these past few days. Not only about his essay but also the way he thinks. He lets us know in many ways that we should trust in ourselves. We shouldn't be afraid to say what we want. Our voices/opinions matter in this world. No matter how absurd a comment might sound like, it's still very important to say. Everyone in this world is different, nobody is the same. Us being different makes our way of thinking different. Also, how we should rely on others to manage our lives for us. We shouldn't let others tell us what to do because we're smart enough to guide ourselves through this journey, which is called "life."

EMERSON SAID IT
1. "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself"
-In my opinion, I feel like this quote means that we can live our lives the way we want. We can't live peacefully in this world if we don't put something of us in it. Our future results basically depends on the way we decide to live it and what actions to take. In other words, we make our lives what we want it to be by making our own choices.
- I think this was brought up in the conversation today because we were talking about how we can't let others manage our lives by making decisions for us.
2. "Every heart vibrates to that iron string"
- I think this quote means that every person is different in this world. Not everyone is the same in this world. Like Paloma said earlier, she thinks of it how a guitar has different strings and they all make a different sound. We can all be defined as a string of a guitar because we all do different things and don't sound the same, either by the way we speak, think or act. Each guitar string plays a different note, either by being natural, sharp or flat. That's the beauty of life
- I think this was brought up due to the same reason as the rest of the quotes. Everyone is society is different and has the right to prove it.
3. "Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say 'I think,' but quotes some saint or sage"
- I think this means that a person is timid/ shy to speak up for themselves. Some people don't like to say their opinions due to the fact that they're scared of what others might say or think. Society know-a-days don't have the courage to say their own opinion.
- This was brought up because we talking about how some don't really speak up for themselves and are letting others manage their lives.
4. "Men have looked away from themselves and at things so long that they have come to esteem to religious, learned, and civil institutions as guards of property, and they deprecate assaults on these, because they feel them to be assaults on property"
- This quote basically means that we take things for granted. Sometimes we look at things so closely that we don't realize how important they really are of their main purpose until it's too late. We tend to push those important things away not knowing how valuable they are.
- This was brought up because of the same reason as the rest, we don't notice all the beautiful things in life because of how we let others control our lives.
5. "Nothing can bring you peace, but the triumph of principles"
- This means that nothing can bring you peace other than yourself and the victory of your own behavior. It's similar to the first quote from all five. The results to our lives our the actions we decide to take.
- This was brought up because they were saying how we sometimes let others control our lives which is why we live it the way we do right now. We don't let ourselves fly free without bumping into an obstacle.
