What I have learned so far

I have never read Poe, Thoreau, or Emmerson until now. I had heard their names mentioned before on Jeopardy. I knew that Poe lived in Richmond for awhile. I knew that Emmerson and particularly Thoreau had a passion for nature. I have learned how Thoreau believed that man needs to reconnect with nature and the simpler things in life. I wish it were that easy. I was thrilled to learn that Emmerson was a non conformist like me. Lastly Poe taught me just how monstrous the human mind can be. To sum it up, so far these past three weeks have taught me a lot about what each of these authors had to say. More importantly each of the assignments has taught me a little more about myself.
