Chris McCandless: a man so infatuated with nature, he practically committed suicide to bring himself nearer to it. This extreme liking for nature, along with other ideals, makes up the core tenets of the transcendentalist philosophy. McCandless demonstrates other tenets of transcendentalism as well, most notably the supremacy of the individual, by detaching himself from the mammon of this world. Another way he shows the supremacy of the individual, by the belief that one should not conform to the usual policies of life, causes him great trouble in some cases. As well as the belief that the individual supersedes all else, McCandless received much of his inspiration from nature. Finally, always following what he believes correct, McCandless

Walter Raleigh - Organized an expedition in 1585 to establish a colony on North Carolina’s Roanoke Island. It was a failed attempt.

About a century ago, such scholar as Nietzsche disregarded the principles of modern “factualism”. Later on, Weber established the end of the era of generalists. One cannot but state extreme specialization and narrowly focused technical work to have changed certain visions into straight forward realities. Concerning this essay, it is mainly aimed at analyzing the sociological speculations of two outstanding thinkers John Winthrop and Ralph Waldo Emerson that, in view of widely-acknowledged scholars, reflect the state of public opinion even though they date back over two centuries; to be precise, the focus lies in comparing and contrasting the utopian visions of the two above mentioned thinkers, making emphasis on what utopia meant for these two authors and the way it was supposed to be achieved. Moreover, the paper is focused on interpreting and coming to terms with the pivotal social movements of Puritanism as well as transcendentalism. Speaking about the peculiarities of social theories, it is necessary to take a view of recognized changes in vast domains of social life and culture. The research will emphasize the main reconstructions of social and cultural theories due to historical events. The essay is also targeted on finding out whether it is logically to discount all the concepts, methods of the past, and acknowledge the new theoretical assumptions.

Post Modern era with its technological advancement introduced immense “political and military giants” which included Communism, Nazism, and Americanism, but also targeted Christian faith (Shelley, 2008, p. 417). According to Worldview (2017), it also introduced atheism, a “belief that there is no God, no supernatural Creator, no Divine moral lawgiver, and no ultimate Judge of mans actions” followed by religious pluralism, “belief that one must be tolerant of all religious beliefs because no one religion can be true.” Once again, Christians required different ways of uniting, thinking, and coping as the world once again faced changed. To gain understanding of what humility as a concept meant in this period, the following authors will be

My paper will be on John Winthrop who I chose because of the impact he made on America as we know it today and because of his Christian background and influence. I was initially interested in him because he was one of the major players from Europe who caused this nation to be founded “under God,” if you will, and is clearly an influential man in American history. Now that I have read more about him I realize he played an even larger role than I imagined. John Winthrop left all that he knew to go spread the gospel and create a “city on a hill” to shape a nation and despite all the hardships he faced, he never abandoned his efforts or ideals and that is a man I would love to talk to and learn from.

Wilbur is widely recognized for embracing the attitude of those such as Frost, using common diction and concise, imagery-filled poems.  In this poem he references common objects that working people would understand — for example, comparing the sound of a typewriter to a chain hauled over a gunwale.

George Washington Carver was the brilliant scientist who changed farming for everyone. When he was a little boy, he was stolen in the middle of the night by slave raiders.

 Richard Wilbur was raised by a Presbyterian father and an Episcopalian mother.  Because his mother was closer to her own faith, they attended an Episcopal church.  When Wilbur's parents opted to not go to church, a neighbor took him to a Baptist Sunday School.

Throughout Wilbur’s writing, it is evident that he has an inclination towards nature, and this inclination could have sprouted from where he grew up in addition to the way in which he was raised. Richard Wilbur was born on March 1, 1921

The rather unusual poem, The Juggler, by Richard Wilbur vividly describes the actions of a juggler and also plays on the theme of life as an emotional roller coaster, by using irregular rhyme scheme, alliteration, thought-provoking diction, and imagery to set the foundation for his message.

I personally believe that with any story told or movie made that you have to creator’s life to see where the story actually comes from. No matter what we do in life we all as human beings find a way to show what we have been through in our lives. Raymond Carver was no different just he had a really tough road that he traveled and it showed in his stories. According to an interview with William, Stull in “Matters of Life & Death: An Interview with Raymond Carver” Carver also understood that his life showed through in his work, “Wolff said in a review of my first book of stories that he felt he could pick out a story of mine without seeing my name attached to it. I took that as a compliment. If you can find an author's fingerprints on the work, you can tell it's his and no other's.” (Stull 14-17) Carver’s life bled through his work and in “The Bath” we can see this. In “The Bath” we have a couple dealing with the accident their son had been in and it seemed to push them apart more than they already were. The fact of the couple losing touch with each other managed to transcend the story into Carver’s real life, Carver’s marriage to his first wife Maryann. But instead of an accident pushing Raymond and Maryann apart, it was Raymond’s addiction to Alcohol and the problems that came with his addiction.
