Answer:
Nature is a common Transcendentalist theme that is presented in "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman.
Explanation:
Nature is a common theme in many English pieces, but it is a deeper theme when it's looked at in a transcendental theme. Before we can talk about this transcendental theme I found in "Song of Myself", what are some other examples of transcendental themes? There are five elements of transcendentalism, which are nonconformity, self-reliance, free thought, confidence, and nature. In my opinion, I found it in my best nature to choose, well, nature, because everyone writes about nature, but in this case, it's a special theme because the nature theme is deeper than normal. It brings a different feeling than it normally does. I found this theme not only in "Song of Myself", but also in a few songs that people still listen to today. An example is "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles. The reason is that the song not only sings about the sun, but it also sings about the snow and ice clearing because the sun finally arriving. "Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting; Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear."
Not only that, but the way it's presented is in a transcendental manner. The theme of nature is also present in the poem "Song of Myself, written by Walt Whitman. One of quite a few examples includes, "I bequeathe myself to the dirt, to grow from the grass I love;". He also talks about animals such as birds and hawks. Even the seasons themselves are mentioned as nature, even though each season isn't mentioned one by one. Transcendental themes are themes that are deeply discussed, and the five elements from earlier can be discussed that way. Transcendentalism brings a different feeling than other themes tend to, and so, in conclusion, nature is not only a common theme in songs and common pieces but in transcendental pieces as well.

Answer:
Alex Garland’s 2015 science fiction film Ex Machina follows a young programmer’s attempts to determine whether or not an android possesses a consciousness complicated enough to pass as human. The film is celebrated for its thought-provoking depiction of the anxiety over whether a nonhuman entity could mimic or exceed human abilities, but analyzing the early sections of the film, before artificial intelligence is even introduced, reveals a compelling examination of humans’ inability to articulate their thoughts and feelings. In its opening sequence, Ex Machina establishes that it’s not only about the difficulty of creating a machine that can effectively talk to humans, but about human beings who struggle to find ways to communicate with each other in an increasingly digital world.
The piece's opening introduces the film with a plot summary that doesn't give away too much and a brief summary of the critical conversation that has centered around the film. Then, however, it deviates from this conversation by suggesting that Ex Machina has things to say about humanity before non-human characters even appear. Off to a great start.
The film’s first establishing shots set the action in a busy modern office. A woman sits at a computer, absorbed in her screen. The camera looks at her through a glass wall, one of many in the shot. The reflections of passersby reflected in the glass and the workspace’s dim blue light make it difficult to determine how many rooms are depicted. The camera cuts to a few different young men typing on their phones, their bodies partially concealed both by people walking between them and the camera and by the stylized modern furniture that surrounds them. The fourth shot peeks over a computer monitor at a blonde man working with headphones in. A slight zoom toward his face suggests that this is an important character, and the cut to a point-of-view shot looking at his computer screen confirms this. We later learn that this is Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a young programmer whose perspective the film follows.
The rest of the sequence cuts between shots from Caleb’s P.O.V. and reaction shots of his face, as he receives and processes the news that he has won first prize in a staff competition. Shocked, Caleb dives for his cellphone and texts several people the news. Several people immediately respond with congratulatory messages, and after a moment the woman from the opening shot runs in to give him a hug. At this point, the other people in the room look up, smile, and start clapping, while Caleb smiles disbelievingly—perhaps even anxiously—and the camera subtly zooms in a bit closer. Throughout the entire sequence, there is no sound other than ambient electronic music that gets slightly louder and more textured as the sequence progresses. A jump cut to an aerial view of a glacial landscape ends the sequence and indicates that Caleb is very quickly transported into a very unfamiliar setting, implying that he will have difficulty adjusting to this sudden change in circumstances.
These paragraphs are mostly descriptive. They give readers the information they will need to understand the argument the piece is about to offer. While passages like this can risk becoming boring if they dwell on unimportant details, the author wisely limits herself to two paragraphs and maintains a driving pace through her prose style choices (like an almost exclusive reliance on active verbs).
