Argumentation #2: Raldo Waldo Emerson

     American Romanticism is a rejection of social norms and an acceptance of an individual's desires. Ralph Waldo Emerson is one of the most famous transcendentalists of the mid nineteenth century. He believes that an individual should speak what ever is on their mind today, and do the same tomorrow, even if you contradict yourself. That is to be true to yourself. I believe that to speak your own mind without limitations, while it could remove the burdens of keeping information to yourself which will make you happier, I do not think that getting hurt for saying what's on your mind is worth a bit of happiness.
     Keeping a secret or having something on your mind can distract one from things they have to do. Whether it be waiting for a package you know is coming today or hiding a terrible secret from your family, saying all that your heart contains can make you feel more content with yourself. Especially if you say whatever you want with no limitations. However if you say whatever you want to without any limitations, that doesn't mean that there aren't repercussions.
     Take Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most popular leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, although he made a big change by speaking his mind and heart out, he got slapped in the face, hosed down, and in the end: killed by a fatal shot wound. Black Lives Matter movement also has a lot of people speaking out for what they believe in and they have members being attacked by those who oppose them.

    That doesn't mean that you're necessarily going to get hurt speaking your mind, if you call somebody fat they might not do anything. But that also doesn't mean that you'll be happier after getting something off your chest, there may be feelings of regret afterwards.
     The American Romanticism quickly became a big hit because of it's massive appeal, you can be content with your life if you say what's on your mind, or you stay true to yourself by not having any friends. It is a big reason as to why we have many protesters today fighting for what they believe in despite them going against the norm. I do think that you can do whatever you want to make yourself content with your own life, however I understand that there may also be consequences depending if what you're doing is deviant.

Assertion Analysis #9: Cotton Mather

     Cotton Mather is best known for his vigorous support for the Salem Witch Trials. Cotton Mather being a Puritan, his faith and devotion to Christianity is strong. Mather believes that reading poetry will make the readers impure.

     Mather starts off with telling the reader that poetry is like sauce. Expressing creative ideas is sinful and instead you should be focusing on the bible, the bible being like food.
