Influencing the Future Essay

       Although it doesn't seem like it, the choices we make today even if their small things have the potential to change events or set them in motion. We don't usually think about this but there are lot novels which talk about these questions and two of these are called "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder." These stories are able to make people think  a bigger picture a out what theses stories are able to illustrate to the reader. They able to make the reader think about the choices, they have made in their life and how it could've gone differently if they picked a different path. From these stories, I was able to realise one of the choices I have made.
       One of the examples in my life that I realized made a outcome was in my Physics class. We get homework that is usually due in one week from it is given to us. The reason I made this one of the example is that i usually say I'll start it on Monday but i would do it on Thursday night when it is due. This makes it for where I try to solve them as fast as I can and usually leading to mistakes. I'm positive that I would have a better grade if I start it as soon as i get home but I have other homework assignments and I get home from school tired, while my mom is telling me to help her with chores around the house.
        A essay written by Emmerson called "On Self-Reliance" talks about his ideas and why people act in some ways. He is able to talk about how people act the way they act and how other people see them and how they see themselves. Most importantly though were the choices that make a difference to the person either good or bad.  

* I'll think of more for this essay soon.

A Sound of Thunder

I like this story mostly because I always thought what would happen if someone can go back in time and change something in the past.

Emmerson presentation Day 2

On the second day of presentation we had a video presentation about Emmerson's essay. It was like a motivational video which talks about being yourself. We also had some presentations of people talking about quotes that can be found in the essay.

Emmerson Presentation Day 1

The first day of presentations to me went well. I volunteered as the first on to go up to present. On this day we talked about Emmerson's beliefs which were about to not think what other people think.

Emerson for the young buck

From Emerson's view, I have learned his thoughts on peoples behavior when by themselves and with society on how they act around people. I also learned from Emmerson about one of his beliefs, which is that he believes that people shouldn't care what other people think about them. He states it in his article which was, "These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to be better ones; they are for what they are..." The whole point of this article was so Emerson can give people who are afraid of how people react to their opinion the reasoning on why they shouldn't keep their ideas to themselves.
