"Emerson for the Young Buck"

            What I learn about the essay, " Self Reliance, " during the Socratic seminar the first day was that the essay has the perspective of motivation that when people read something they seem to change and when we hear motivation quotes, ideas or people that have different perspectives is that 8they are going to change and our world is going to be a better place. In addition two this we were talking about quotes that got our attention or that had to do with the main idea of self- reliance. Well the perspective of Emerson is that practically that the world is made up of beautiful colors all we have to do is make a change that everyone will do but we have to be real with ourselves that is not going to happen. Well my favorite quote is the one that, " vanity and malice wear the quote of philanthropy." This quote just gave the main idea of the essay explains the significant human quality which creates what Emerson wants to say on self- reliance.
