1. Write a rap or poem (minimum 12 lines; rich and full) about Self Reliance. Include two sentences or phrases extracted from Emerson's essay (Due Wednesday! so practice if you would like to perform it!)
2. Keep Reading your Literature for your I-Search I Search Essay!
3. Finish re-reading Self Reliance, underlining what moves or resonates with you. Which sentences or parts of the essay do you think Emerson intended for "young America" and which parts are applicable to America today?
4. Respond to the other journal prompt: Why do some people get ahead in today's society while others don't? OR How important is the government if self-reliance is such a good thing? What role should the government play?
