Essay Topic.
For my transcendentalism essay I am going to focus on the idea of conformity. For we conform to everything and everyone whether we mean to or not. I find it fascinating how each and every character in fiction is built much like we are. Bits and pieces of other's, now don't get me wrong everyone is their own person but every person is molded by someone else. Just like the characters in a book. Conformity is something that comes natural to us.

Conformity will be an excellent topic. It sounds like this would do well as a more formal essay, but if you choose to write it more story-form I'd be fascinated to see how you do it. maybe you could fit in a part about consistency from "Self-Reliance"?
ReplyDeleteAre you going to focus on Emerson specifically with the idea of conformity? I think with this topic you could very easily come up with some specific examples. With these examples I think that to really form your essay it may help to use both examples from present day and from Emerson's day.
