But he would leave from time to time because he was still selling drugs and he was trying to get out of the game because he really wanted to be with Tasha. But what really made him want to get out was the simple fact that he had gotten Tasha Pregnant and by the time he was on his last run of selling drugs Tasha lost her baby because she was already stressed out because he was never home but also because he started telling her about where all his money was stashed at and where she could go if her never came back and that made her start thinking that he was either going to get killed or that he was going to jail.

But she talked to him anyway so instead of her going to the party she ended up going to his house and having sex with him and once she had had sex with him that's when she OFFICALLY became his. She had just stopped talking to her boyfriend without any kind of notice.

Transcendentalism

Transcendentalist- They were people who fondly believed in god they had no other intention of thinking about what others had to say they didn't like the government because they felt that the government would lead you in the wrong direction. They figured as long as they had god for help that everything would be okay.



Nature- When i read nature he was talking about how he changed. He turned into god by just going into the woods. When he went into the woods he had transcended into as child amazed by everything in the woods. Its also kind of like he was saying that to some people that the wood would just be the ordinary wood but to him them meant something. He saw things that no one else probably would have seen kind of like him using his imagination while he was in the woods. He had better chance to connect with himself because he just disappears he has no distractions.

Direct Evidence- Most people do not see the sun the same way some people have a very superficial way of seeing.



Self Reliance- In Self Reliance he was saying that you should be your own person that you should envy yourself because you are just as good as the next person so why envy others when you can just be yourself. think in your own perspective. For an example i chose Michael Jackson because he acts the way he wants to nobody tells him how he needs to dress or how he should act in public that is his own doing and someone who thinks on their own without anyone telling them is called an Non-Conformist and that is exactly what Michael is he doesn't care what other people are going to say about him when he comes out in public because their thoughts don't matter as long as he is happy how he is then everything is okay.

Direct Evidence- To be great you must break away from society itself.

Civil Government- Well its not that they are saying that they actually hate the government but they feel that they but in at the wrong time. Like saying that the government shouldn't get involved in war type things because it makes matters worse for the country. They want a better government a government who knows when to get involved and when not to. A government who knows when to say the right thing and when to just keep their mouths shut.
Direct Evidence- We ask not for a elimination of the government but a better one.

Scenario-
"Scenario 1"
I think that Susan and David are rushing into getting married and Susan should go ahead and go of to college and still be able to plan her wedding with David. But she should put her educations first.

A transecdentalist would go with whatever their mind tells them to go with becuase the believe more of what their soul has to say than taking anyone elses advice.
"Self-trust is the first secret to success. "

Ropewalk

In the Poem Ropewalk he is talking to us to keep his mind off pf making rope. He is telling us about how the rope will be used once he has finished making it. Like for example Then an old man in a tower,Ringing loud the noontide hour, While the rope coils round and roundLike a serpent at his feet,And again, in swift retreat, Nearly lifts him from the ground. He is telling us that their is an oldman ringing a bell somewhere and that the bell is so heavy that it's pulling him of the ground everytime the rope goes up.



What i thought was romantic about your picture was the whole scene because that isn't your ordinary sunrise. We don't see that every morning when we get up but we coudl imagine what the sunrise will look like.

I picked this picture because i am trying to imagine this whole scene and what it means. I mean when you first take a look at this picture you look at the big white things and wonder what they are and then you start trying to visualize what those people are doing out their. And that's why i picked this picture to be romantic
