The Transcendentalism

The story of Nature it seem to me it was trying to say how men and the earth help each other out and work together. It also seemed like they felt work is the only way to keep the earth moving.

The story Self-Reliance the story to me is talking about how work is the way a boy grow up to be a men. Working to them is a way to show their stength and menhood.

The story Resistance is a civil government that they feel is not all that good. I dont really understand the point of this story i guess its saying how the peoples minds are set in to their ways even if its bad or good right or wrong.

I like the video it gave be a better understand on the philosphy why men believe going out to the wilderness is a better place of work. I got why he spend so much time out there. He spent time with the wildlife and was able to build things to help him live and he hunted for food to help him live too. I feel like he liked it out there becuase he did a good job at it. he made the video about his all that had happen and am glad that he got out ok and did good for himself out there in the wild

American Romanticism

The story of Rip Van Winkle I found that the part about him falling asleep for nearly 18 years and then comming back home and notice the big changes that have happen is romanticism part of the story. He was confused and all the new changes and why people didnt know who he was and that there was so many new things to just had him at odds. I feel that this is romanticism because of the fact that he was dealing with a promble with emphasizes intuiton over logic. Which means he is not understand why things or the way that they are and why he is not sure if he is in the right spot. He still things he is dream and dont believe he was a sleep for almost 18 years. When he was walking into the new town he once knew as his home the people liked him when at one point in time they didnt like him. He was seeing all the new names in the town and how much it grown. He just change so much over the years he didn't get how that could all happen when he was sleep.

In the Poem Thanatopis to me it seems that its saying to people that you should be scared to die its natrual but that you should be scared of it happen to you. When they talk about morther nature I understand that to. Its saying that everyone dies and everyone dies equal you leave with what you came into this world with nothing but yourself.

I can put the image of the two fair maidens in a swing. Because I can seen that image real clear and i understand it the most. Its saying when you pass away you have to angles watching over you to help you rest peacefully.

To me its a picture of someone thinking about what rual areas look like because when romanticism started people lived in cities and didnt really know what the rual areas looked like. The mood to me seem like the person was paceful and letting off stress. If sets the tone of calm and on chill mood and just thinking about life and things that go on in life.

The Rationalists

Rationalists believe that everything could explained thourgh science where Purtains believe things like that should be left up to god's saying. Some people believe that god created the earth, but scientist believe that is was the Big bang thoery. So i took it that Purtains believe that god created everything that is here on earth and the Rationalists believe that everything was created by science. Benjamin Franklin said “men should be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown propos’d as thing forgot” I feel that what he is saying true to about the rationalists, because things they cant explain they just dont know why they wont believe that it was all because of God.

10. Set goals for yourself

11. Achieve high and reach for the best.

12. Never think less of youeself.

13 Always think postive and beleive in yourself and let god help you.'

I feel that you can always do whatever you set your mind to doing. Nobody is perfect, but theirs always close to it but there's goign to be things or people to try and knock you down, but you have to set your mind to the goals you set for yourself and over come them bad things in your life. Theirs many people who are perfectist and have to have everything perfect and just right. To those who are looking at that person we see no wrong. But i feel that person is life is hard and alot of work to make their life so perfect.

The Puritans

Puritans believe that god's intentions are used in human actions. They also believe that because of Adam and Eva's down falls that everyone is born sinful. They also believe that god only saves and do for the people he want or wishes to save and help. They believe that god died for certain people not for everyone. Mostly they believe that god is not for everyone he is someone with high power and people have to earn the power he has to help.

i feel that the people who talked highly and greatly of the sinners was just trying to scare people into doing the right things. I dont at all think god picks the people who he wants to be punished and the ones he wants to save. i feel god lets people choose their own path and what path they choose is what say if their going to heaven or hell. because people have to go thur life and make changes better their life or make it worst or bad either way i just dont think god picks before they even have a change to live life to the fullest.

I feel god someone we look up to and he is the only thing that can judge people. I also feel god looks at people and help them make right chooses and make up for their mistakes or wrong doings. the way edward is talking about god i feel is wrong and he has no right to talk about and make people believe something so wrong just so scare people into doing the right thing. He makes god sound almost as someone evil instead of high good power and a guideness of good.

About the Mayflower story. when they got off the boat they was thanking god for letting them get there safe. Then they notice there was nothing very but land full of trees no houses or roads or markets. Then they stated asking god to help them get started and find away to make a new life on the new land they found. They felt if god help them get to the new land safe that god cause surely help them get a start a make a living there too.

When I think about how the Puritans lived I think like someone who used things around in order to get by and make a living. They took new things and learn from them and learned to use them in their life. Their out look on god to me is very bad. Honestly listen to this makes me think what is god's real meaning behind life. If he gave us all life why would he start us out sinful. The prutians have a strong out look on the reaso of life and when it is taken from you where do you go.

I think that the sermon Edward read to the people did not work because if it did then i think that the poeple would not even want to move and do things because they would be to scared to. i just dont see god letting people fall into hell for trying to do the right thing.

Limited Atonement - Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone. Irresistible Grace – God’s grace is freely given, it cannot be earned or denied. Sinners in the hands of an angry God also says that only a certain few are chosen to go into heaven and everyone else is going to hell and that you cannot earn Gods grace.

Total Depravity – through Adam and Eve’s fall, every person is born sinful – concept of Original sin. Sinners in the hands of an angry God also tells us that we are born with sin because of Adam and Eve.
