Question

2. What kinds of people most need Emerson's message?

Answer 1

Answer:

I would recommend teenagers and "pre adult" 18-21 to read it. I found in high school reading it to be interesting and deep. I never read the whole thing in high school but I kept a little note with a quote from a passage. Everytime I came accross the quote, it made me want to find the "Self-Reliance" only because the quote meant more than words to me. It told of how I must except myself for who I am and not to be like anyone else.

"There comes a time in everyman's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicie, that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that 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 whish is given to him to till."
