Emerson presentation day 3

To say a quote that we like and explain why we like it "nothing can bring you peace but yourself" 
"Treat others how you want to be treated" 
"Trust yourself"
Emerson tone - formal, serious, optimistic, inspirational, hopeful, sensor 
Jason and abby don't want us to forget to be self reliant 
Ofillia choose quotes she liked and explained why 
"Trust thyself"
"Society is a wave"
"To be great is to be misunderstood"
Jay's quote 
"If you are Nobel, I will love you and if you're not I will not judge you" 

An earth shattering fart

After reading the story my only response to it is that it's so mind blowing that a butterfly could change the past into a future.

Self reliance

What I read I felt like Emerson sees people as followersand them not being there own people. He also talks to much about religion. A quote I didn't understand was "Let not God speak to us, lest we die. Speak thou, speak any man with us, and we will obey.' "
