Questions

Imаgine а nаtiоnal museum is creating an exhibit оn American literary histоry and is considering a prominent section dedicated to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. You’ve been asked to write a proposal explaining why Emerson and Thoreau should (or should not) be featured as central figures in the exhibit. In your response: Discuss the key contributions of Emerson and Thoreau to American literature. What makes their works significant? Highlight how their ideas reflect or shaped the American identity and values. Make a case for their continued relevance today—or argue why their influence may be overstated. Your response should be organized into three clear sections: literary contributions, influence on American identity, and modern relevance (or lack thereof). Be specific and persuasive in your argument. Tips for Answering This Question Start with Literary Contributions: Think about Emerson’s role as the father of Transcendentalism and his essays like "Self-Reliance" or "The American Scholar." Reflect on Thoreau’s Walden and "Civil Disobedience" as examples of his influence on individualism and resistance to injustice. Explore Their Influence on American Identity: Consider how their works promote ideas like self-reliance, the value of nature, and questioning authority. How do these ideas tie into broader themes in American history and culture? Make a Case for Modern Relevance: Highlight current events or cultural shifts that connect to their ideas (e.g., environmentalism, social justice, minimalism). If you think their influence is overstated, argue why their ideas may feel outdated or less relevant today. Be Specific and Persuasive: Use specific examples from their works or ideas to back up your argument. Take a clear stance: Are they essential to American literature, or do they occupy an outsized place in its history? Use Your Time Wisely: Spend 20-25 minutes on this question. Outline your argument before you write, and leave time to review your response.

Spelling, punctuаtiоn, аnd аccent marks cоunt tоward grading ( - full points worth). Accent Marks Please write me a short message, in parenthesis, next to the word that needs it, for instance: You need to write ¡Mi mamá comprará el juguete mañana para Iván! You will write it like (upside-down exclamation mark) Mi mama (accent on the 2nd a) comprara (accent on the second a) el juguete manana (tilde over the 1st n) para Ivan (accent on a)! Notice that when there is more than one repeated vowel/consonant, I used more details on which vowel/consonant the accent mark was placed--mamá, mañana, etc. Unlike the name "Ivan" which has one accentuated vowel.
