Love Letter To Mattie

My Dearest Mattie,

How I long to tell you-to show you how deeply I care for you, how deeply I think of you all the time. All the time that I walk "through the snow"(19 edith Wharton) it melts under my feet with how warm you make me feel inside that it radiates out of me. And when you "flush red"(61) oh how that makes my heart sing.  Every time you pass I cannot help but steal a glance. You have this effect on me Mattie and so much more. It's because I love you Mattie I surly do. . .

ralph waldo emerson

Emerson was one of the central characters in the transcendental movement emerging in literary circles around Concord, Massachusetts during the late 1830’s. 

He resigned from his occupation as a Unitarian clergyman in 1832 to travel to Europe, where he befriended Carlyle, Coleridge and Wordsworth among others. 

In the U.S. he lectured in philosophy, while forming a transcendentalist group comprising fellow writers and poets such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry David Thoreau.

 In 1842 he took over the role as editor of The Dial, which served as spokes vehicle for the movement.

In 1855, Emerson recieved a thin book of poetry entitled "Leaves of Grass" by a poet he had never heard of before. 

He loved this book of poetry which was unorthodox in both style and subject.

 Emerson wrote an encouraging letter to this unknown poet, who of course was Walt Whitman.

 Later they also met, and Whitman was very flattered by the praise of Emerson.

Emerson’s first book, Nature (1836) expressed his theories that the imagination of man is shaped by nature and helped spark an entirely new philosophical movement in New England. 

Essays (1841 and 1844), containing his essays on philosophy and other subjects, brought him international renown.

 Representative Men (1850) is a collection of lectures held in Oxford and London in 1847. 

Later lecture collections include The Conduct of Life (1860) and Society and Solitude (1870). 

His poetry, Poems (1847) andMay-Day and Other Pieces (1867) may not have been ground breaking as a whole, but some of his pieces are considered to be among the most important poetry of the 19^thcentury.

reflection

i think the class is fine so far. this semester i have learned to appreciate different types of novels. i would like to learn more about writing, like writing papers of stuff. i think we use our laptops to a great deal in this class its much more than i've used in all my other classes put together. i know that i'm doing bad in the class and its totally my fault. i ' think there is anything you can do to make me do better in class its all up to me. i know for sure that i just need to sit down and take the time to do each homework carfully and to my highest extent.

Interview with bradbury

as i read the interview that Bradbury gave I started laughing. Mr. Bradbury seems to be a very talented person with an interesting mind. I bet he was a great person to have around.

science Fiction Podcast

I was only able to listen to one of the podcasts. because my itunes was being really slow about everything that day. but what I could here from the pod cast was that they made it seem old and spooky at the same time. it was really strange to listen to. I'm not so sure if the noise in the background was from my pod cast or the people around me so I would have to say no there was no music used in the podcast I happened to listen to.
