                                       Op- Ed essay on Emerson  

                                           

                                   Ralph Waldo Emerson has works many of literature and I believe that his work should be taught to students in mainly Honor classes.  Emerson work is complex. People who do not read a lot will find it very difficult to understand Emerson’s  writing.

                                                                                                                                                                                   Emerson’s works can enhance a student’s vocabulary. People who can comprehend difficult text  can  improve, but other’s who are not use to reading sometime may not  understanding  . Other’s who are not use to reading will not understand Emerson’s writing. Personally, I find Emerson’s work hard to understand because I don’t read that often. A person who reads on their  own on a daily basies will most of the time  know what’s going on in his writing. Emerson’s writing can help Students reading skill if people continue read his writing.  

                                   Emerson wrote about nature and I found it hard to understand.  In this  writing on  Nature he gives us quotes on how people should see Nature through their eyes. “ Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as the frolic of nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today.” Emerson expresses nature in a way which I find hard to  understand. Other people may have the same problem because Emerson uses words that’s not easy understandable and uses  “fancy” words to make the sentence complicated. People who reads often have a better   idea about his reading . High school students who  are in Honor classes  have a better  chance  understanding  Emerson complex reading but everyone should read some type of writing and may even have lessons on him  . These lesson can  improve a student’s reading skills.

                                 When  people reads Emerson works they think there’s a hidden message in it. Emerson expresses his feeling and thoughts in different ways. He talks about nature as if he meditates with it. I believe Emerson want us to get in touched and understand nature. Personally, I feel that we should get in touch with nature to because it helps us with a lot of things in life.

                                 My ELA class went on a trip to Botanic Gardens and tried to see a different side of nature. I took pictures of things of sights that thought were valuable.
      The picture here is one out of many pictures that me and my class took at the garden that we thought  was valuable.

                               Emerson has a way to explain things through his own knowledge and  wants us to get in touch with our own knowledge so we can see things that we never seen or heard before. The things Emerson talks about in his writing should have a more clear understanding to his writing but students should still be taught by him.
