On self-reliance pt 2

• “..and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.”
  - you never know what you can do or what you’re capable of until you have tried

• “A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best”
   - you are most satisfied and happy when you have gave your all into something that you’ve worked hard on

• What is it that makes children so courageous and parents so afraid?
   - children are courageous because they’re minds are young but also open minded and they don’t know what they should think or not to think and it makes parents afraid because some kids are actually smarter than their age

This made me think about all different things like truly made me think. Emerson is basically just talking about man kind and different traits about them but to be honest I can’t really describe how I see it. I see it as different quotes that mean something important and that goes for everyone and not just men.

Gatsby’s Test Chapters 1-4

Chapter one: What is the relation between Daisy and Nick? Who is Jordan Baker? Chapter two: Who is Tom Buchanan’s mistress? Who broke Mrs. Wilson’s nose? Chapter three: Who invited Nick to Gatsby’s party? Why was there a crowd at the end of Gatsby’s party? Chapter four: What did Jordan tell Nick about Daisy and the officer the day she saw them in Daisy’s car? Who did the officer turn out to be?

My Thesis Statement

I think it’s better to write an essay without a prompt. One reason why is because since you’re so used to having prompts it bores you so you don’t give it as much effort because you’re tired of doing the same type of essays. It would be more interesting to write an essay based off of what you want to write about and what’s most important for you to talk about.
