I agree with the Transcendentalists, although I don't completely agree with the extremity of their beliefs of society and the government, such as they want to take all your freedom and personality (but it is partly true). The ideas that struck me the most are if you resign to society, you are giving them your life and freedom in return, and also you are never truly free and away from society's ways until you are in nature, and when you are in nature, your inner child comes out. I agree with these ideas completely. I wrote my letter to Gavin Newsom about the PG&E power outage in Marin and its different effects on the people, although not all of the effects are negative.

For me, this essay wasn't too challenging, although it took me a while to complete. I was good at finding enough quotes to support my claim, but I still need more help including appositives in my essay. I had good grammar and spelling throughout it and next time, I'd spend more of my time writing and revising my essay to make it the best I can.
How are you feeling about your writing right now?
I feel just alright about my writing right now. What issues do you think you might run into in writing the essay? One issue I may run into while writing my essay is having a good lead in that catches the reader's attention. What do you feel pretty good about? I feel pretty good with my spelling and my grammar. I also feel comfortable writing CLEAR paragraphs, I know the meaning of each part. What makes good writing? How does one make their writing interesting? I think what makes good writing is keeping the reader interested. Creating good sentences, good grammar, and good spelling play a big part too. One thing is certain, intelligence is not genetic. Improving intelligence comes from effort, practice, and environment. By praising effort, if someone fails, they will try harder to succeed. By praising ability (genetics), if someone fails, they will give up and won't try harder, because they don't believe that they can do better. This year and so on, if I fail, I will keep trying hard using new strategies in order to succeed.
