Max Beerbohmm Walk

“Thoreau walking” was written by Henry David Thoreau who has abundant of love for nature and walking. I believe “Thoreau walking” to be such a great lecture that instantly grab your attention and pull you in as you read it. The more you read you become more and more interested. In addition, I believe everyone may have a different interpretation and understanding to Thoreau lecture and that what makes it so great. I found myself reading the lecture couples of time to have my own understanding of what Thoreau is saying and what he meant in each line. Furthermore, Thoreau does not only talk about his love for nature and walking he also expresses his opinion about problems that are going on around him and in the society, that he did not

(Bradbury) This idea shows that his not meeting anyone in the ten years of walking is a result of people

The first quote “I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn’t walk, so I set out to teach him.” (Hurst np)this supports the narrator's pride that gets in the way of letting his brother be.

I utterly disagree with Solnit’s ideology, “Otherwise the individual 's imagination will be bulldozed over to the chain store outlets of consumers ' appetite, true crime, titillation, and celebrity crisis”. The one way I 'd relish taking a walk would be with pleasant company. If you 're hand in hand with your partner appreciating the scenery together that changes the ambiance of the walk. Yet what changes actual the mood of it is the person you 're with and not the actual walk because you can be doing anything else but instead you 're with pleasant company therefore it doesn 't matter what you 're doing. Likewise, when people voice they will only be pleased when they reach a certain point in their life; what if you never get to that point? Does that mean you 'll never be satisfied? Solnit classifies walking the same

The narrator does it strictly for his pride, and not Doodle’s sake. The narrator regrets,“They did not know that I did it for myself, that pride, whose slave I was, spoke to me louder than all their voices, and that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother”(Hurst).This continues the theme by explaining his regret for teaching his brother to walk for his pride, rather than for Doodle. Although the narrator sees the bad in what he’s done, he still doesn’t understand what he should do prevent it from happening again. The narrator plots,“Once I had succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own infallibility”(Hurst). This idea supports the theme by identifying the narrator’s pride with teaching Doodle to walk and how he believes he can make it stronger.

In the film “A Great and Mighty Walk” we are introduced to John Henrik Clarke. Clarke was renowned African American historian, professor, and civil rights activist. In the film, he discusses many significant, yet overlook topics throughout African history. For example, the rise and fall of ancient african empires, roman invasions into Africa, the transatlantic slave trade, african diaspora, and the civil rights movement to name a few. Throughout the film, Clarke also offers valid facts, thought-provoking opinions, and a personal narrative about what it was like to experience being apart of history in the making.

In the early 1800’s, walking was idolized by many. The transcendentalists movement was in full swing, people who believed that nature was key to keeping spirits pure and

The author takes a personal story that shows his interests-walking that is very current and understandable to all audiences. Cadogen starts the essay with 2 effective quotes that summarizes the issues in the essay. One is lyrics from musician Fats Waller: “My only sin is my skin. What did I do, to be so black and blue?” The other: “Manhattan’s streets I saunter’d, pondering”, by Walt Whitman. Quotes used should be paid close attention to, especially if it comes before the writing itself. Trying to assess each quote individually I make understanding of the words and look up the person who is being quoted, then I assess the quotes together and infer what might the article be about. This shows a light on the author’s interest. The two quotes alone come from two completely

Business for the glory of God, written by author Wayne Grudem, discusses the relevance of business according to Biblical principles. Identifying specific verses in Scripture, Grudem details how every aspect of business exists as a means for humanity to glorify God by imitating His sovereignty over universe. In addition, he dispels the myth that business, “in itself”, exists as morally neutral (Grudem, 2003, pg. 24). Evidence supporting Grudem’s opinion of the long-held belief that neutrality repudiates the morality of business, exists with Calvinist Philosopher, R.J. Rushdoony. In his book, The institutes of Biblical Law, he states that “neutrality is the basic supposition of humanism not Christianity…everything is God revealed, universal or neutral principles of law, language, or culture do not exist” (Rushdoony, 1986).

2. The distinction Beerbohm makes between going out for a walk and being taken out for a walk is that going out for a walk requires your own motivation and pride. He thinks that going out for a walk escorts your brain to shutdown mode, as shown when he says, "My objection to it is that it stops the brain...This boast is not confirmed by my memory of anybody who on a Sunday morning has forced me to partake of his adventure." He also thinks that going out for a walk means that it is your body's way of saying you are, in a sense, superior, as shown when he says, "The body is going out because the mere fact of its doing so is a sure indication of nobility, probity, and rugged grandeur of character."

For most of the story the environment changes between the narrator's home and Old Women’s Swamp and Horsehead landing. The narrator states, “ Shut up I’m not going to hurt you. I’m going to teach you to walk.’ I heaved him up again, and again he collapsed” (3). The location of Old Women’s Swamp and Horsehead Landing,allows the narrator to teach his brother how to do activities “normal” people could do.

“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” This quote is from Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher who mused on the Apollonian and Dionysian literary concept. These concepts deliberate the influence logic and emotion have on thought, particularly the conflict between the two, as well as individuation versus connection to the world. Walking is like a physical manifestation of the Dionysian concept, as not only does it physically connect one to the natural world, but also lends itself to creative thinking. While some assume walking is only beneficial to the physical well-being of a person, others claim it also stimulates creative thoughts and ideas.

It seems as though the happiest person at the gathering is Ryota’s sister’s husband. His time is entirely spent with his kids, and doesn’t seem all too concerned about the stressful situation that the rest of the family is experiencing. He is a good example of how one should live. Another takeaway is that it is not good to take out your negative feelings on others. Throughout the film we are made to feel sorry for Ryota for being treated like the son who should have died, and then we are made to feel bad for the boy who Junpei saved. We are made to feel sympathy for them because they did not intentionally cause anyone else to suffer, but they are made to suffer nonetheless.

Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to start walking to improve their mental and physical health.
