"On self Reliance Part 3"

-Being good instead of looking good
-Not being good to look good.
-Be good for being good
-Be good for yourself not for others
-Don't try and make others like you they have their own idea about you
-Not just exist for someone else
-Don't need to act good to be good
-People need to be understood and not just wanting to be understood
-People need to make their point clear


People need to be good instead of just looking good and need to be good for yourself and exist for yourself and not for anyone else. People need to not care about others and just be himself. They need to stop trying to act good to look good. They need to stop thinking that being good will make me look good, why just look good when you could be good. People also need to make themselves understood and not just get mad for no reason, they need to state their point so other people could understand them.

"On self reliance Part 2"

-We decide where to put our effort
-We become ashamed of our self
-the thing that makes us, us when we don't use it it wears off
-should have the transcendentalist mentality and that we could do better then what other people think
-You are your own hero
-Don't care what other people think about you and just be yourself.
-Be yourself even if everything else tells you not to be.
-Show your inner genius and express yourself and to be yourself
-don't hide behind something else

In this part of the essay Emerson is telling us (From what I got) that you need to be yourself and you need to think and act like you would normally. You don't need to act or be someone else for other people. Just be yourself for being yourself and even if everything else tells you not to be yourself and be someone else, you have to go against the current and there you will find yourself. You have to be yourself to be your own hero.

First Impressions of "On Self-Reliance

Emerson wrote this essay on self reliance and talked about how people should be themselves. What got me interested is the Latin words in the beginning. The Latin words made me feel like it wants to connect to me somehow with a deeper feelings because he expressing the words that are the bases of many languages. It made the essay feel more serious and not like he's just saying it to say it. I feel that he made this with the intention to make people be unique and not follow the crowd of people.

Story of my Life

An event in my life that could be turned into a short story could be something like this. This one day I was in the car with my family and this guy just started running like crazy he was moving left to right like if he was a car, he would make noises with his mouth, he then jumped and stomped to a stop. We all looked at him weird and confused at what he was doing. The light then turned on and we left.

Let me walk you through the Pedestrian

Ray Bradbury was walking and a police officer went up to him and asked what he was doing Bradbury then said he was putting one foot in front of the other. The police officer arrested him until he was let go. He was shocked that he then wrote a story about it and put what he felt when he was arrested. This story became know as the Pedestrian, it was a story about his life and how he felt and what he thought when he was arrested.
The Pedestrian was a story that was very felt from the moment he started to write. He started off with a guy going for a walk in the night in November, he told it in such a way that it could make you feel what the character feels. He used plot to initiate his story by putting imagery and using it to make the story more alive.
Bradbury also uses things like tone to make the story feel more intense then it actually is. He used tone where the character Lenard Mead was getting stopped by the police officer. He first focused on the outside of what was happening by showing the surroundings, he then starts with the characters. He keeps on using imagery to show what the character felt like and to express Bradbury's feelings when he was caught.
He also uses the characters to make the story feel more natural and more uncanny. He uses a mysterious figure like the police officer to make the story more mysterious and puts all of what he felt when he was caught. He used what he felt before and after he was caught to make the story with more imagery and feel realistic and how it would feel if you were caught.
The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury was kind of an autobiography of himself putting his feelings and emotions of how he felt when he was stopped and arrested by the police. He used different characters and names and the year is in the future to make it a different story.
