Transcendentalism

1. The passage "nature" was talking about transcending. seeing things in a different way than they really are. The passage "From Nature" is talking about how god speakes through everyone and he dosen't say the same thing to different people, he speaks through your instincts. Going into society you are not able to let your mind wonder and go free as you would alone, by yourself while your in a quiet place.



The story "Nature" mainly speaks the beauty of nature and the many things you have to see in nature through superficial eyes. "few adult persons can see nature. most persons dont see the sun. at least they have very superficial seeing".

The transcendentalist believed that god speaks to them through their hard work an thats what self reliance was reall about.

3. Cival Disobedience mainly speaks about American government and how most of the laws are unjust. Thoreau believed thet moral sense was very important; being able to use your instincts and your own natural ability to do things. Thoreau believed that too much respect for the law could lead people to do many unjust things by not being able to do what they feel they should do. they believed that they should do what god wanted them to do and not what everything the government wanted
