Self -Reliance is one of those difficult texts that takes time to understand. You have to read and reread certain parts to fully comprehend what the writer is saying. Ms.Hegeman made a point and said that that's how good pieces of writing usually are. Even though I know we read together as a class to help each other understand the text, I find it more helpful when I read alone. I feel like when we read as a class there are certain parts of the reading I catch on to faster than the rest of the class and other parts that take me longer to understand. But when I read on my own in complete silence I can move at my own pace.
Once I understand what the writer is saying I usually understand the points he is making. Man does have a lot they can learn from nature. And humans do have to learn how to have more reliance on themselves and their ideas. Many of us sell ourselves short. We don't give our ideas enough credit or the benefit of the doubt that they might work out. Humanity has to learn to believe in themselves when nobody else does.
