Nature and self-reliance

After reading "Nature" and "Self-Reliance" I concluded that "Self-Reliance" had more meaning to my life. Emerson's work in "Self-Reliance" makes me think of how people should live their lives. If all people everywhere thought of working for themselves they could live a more fulfilled life. My parents always taught me to live my life this way.

Without people living with self-reliance, they would not be able to live their lives. And if some people only lived for the rest of us, we would all be the same. In the quote "Imitation is suicide" people should learn that they should live their lives.

Essay Writing

In freshman and sophomore year, I learned to write 5 part paragraphs.  The paragraphs helped me learn how to write longer and more detailed essays. Almost every book we read as a class, we had to write a specific essay about something about the book. Writing about the books helped me learn that while you are reading a book, you need to think of how characters and the plot changes throughout.

I have never liked writing but I am able to because I have written them and practiced. The skills needed are only to have thoughts about what you are writing about. If you come up with ideas, you can use them to write an essay. It only takes practice to understand language, topic order, and other things needed to make a good essay.
