"There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suici; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till."
The theme of the above passage is man desires a certain thing in life, and to cherish what one has, rather than let this greed consume you. Transcendentalism believes that one's own selfish desires and longings help to consume them, and thus corrupting them. The individual is independent if only they can overcome these emotions. So, I think that Transcendentalism has to do with this passage because the man so desires a particular thing, and as he states here "no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till." he is saying that no good can come from greed, so that is how this passage relates to Transcendentalism.
False, an encyclopedia has basic information in it, and a thesaurus has synonyms and antonyms in it
the commas at the end of the first two lines and the fourth line link closely related ideas by indicating a very brief pause.
The comma at the end of the line "We have come over a way that with tears has been watered," signals that the next line is connected to the same idea, although the words form an independent clause.
The semicolon at the end of the third line separates two distinct ideas—the harshness of the past journey and the travelers' arrival at their destination.
The question mark at the end of the line "Come to the place for which our fathers sighed" indicates a rhetorical question, which doesn’t need to be answered. In this case, the question is more of an acknowledgment of past struggles. The speakers have figuratively traveled a long distance to arrive where their forefathers longed to reach.
In my poem, I plan to use a variety of punctuation. I’ll place different punctuation marks in different places and see how they make me feel. The punctuation will help my readers interpret how the lines connect or contrast. Depending on how my ideas are fitting into the lines, I'd like to include some enjambment, which is no punctuation at the end of a line. I might follow that with a punctuation mark in the middle of the next line.
