According to “Self Reliance,” Emerson defined genius as: “To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men,—that is genius” (Emerson 93).

What does he mean?

Believing the same exact things as everyone else believes.

Believing you can change the world by the strength of your spirit and courage.

Believing that what you believe is unique from what your neighbor believes.

Believing that what you know in your heart as truth is true for everyone.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
