So personally I agree with Emerson in his statement because in our current society there is this standard for people to fit into this tiny mold of how someone should be. My motto is if everyone was the same the world would be boring, so I personally believe that we all need to be our own people in order to make our lives and others interesting. So yes I agree with Emerson.

Explanation:

I totally agree, “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”;

In this way, Ralph Waldo Emerson identifies that the strive for becoming oneself truly is worth since there will always be an outside force in life-shaping us to become part of a role or something else that is external and foreign to us:

When we live every day, we can notice how many attitudes are generalized through the practices of work, and in society, these attitudes also tend to form along with some positions towards politics and economics.

When someone is constantly being pushed into being something else, the pursuit of being oneself is in the path of finding happiness and self-fulfilment.

This saw Emerson with great clarity and therefore I try to show my individuality by being conscious of my choices, I try to internalize what is wrong and good in life, and what is best for me, as well as try to know my similarities and differences among friends and family and coworkers.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.

In at least 150 words, discuss the comparison described in the figurative language and how the connotative language reinforces the symbol. certainly the utmost rim of my first dome was filled with the tumultuous impression of soldiers marching to death for freedom's sake, of pioneers streaming westward to establish self-government in yet another sovereign state. only the great dome of st. peter's itself has ever clutched my heart as did that modest curve which had sequestered from infinitude in a place small enough for my child's mind, the courage and endurance which i could not comprehend so long as it was lost in "the void of unresponsible space" under the vaulting sky itself.
