JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "My Way" by Frank Sinatra]
(Do the journal your way. See options from 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?
