Ori And The Blind Forest Transcendentalism Analysis
Transcendentalism- Ori and the Blind Forest

The story Ori and the Blind forest is about a little animal named ori who becomes orphaned after a colossal storm, and has to go on to restore balance in nature. This story is extremely transcendental because it is down to earth, everybody has a purpose, and you give even after death. During this game Ori and Naru (Naru is the mother) live off of what is given to them. This consists of the woods, and the food that grows there. In the game it is all about respecting nature, and having that balance in life. In addition, when Ori and Naru go do their gathering of food, or wood for bridges they both have purpose.

The Raven is about a man who lost his beloved lenore, and he cannot stop thinking about her. The way it shows romanticism is because of its extreme emotion of what love can do. A man who is laying in his bed trying to sleep one night cannot stop thinking about his beloved Lenore. He hears knocking, voices, and steps from outside of his room and door. He tries to believe it is wind, but he knows it's not. Finally, he stand up to go to his door and opens it, and it is the literal door to hell. Soon after this door opens a raven comes in and lands on his statue of athena (the god of wisdom). The raven and athena are representing how his life has been blocked by the death of his beloved. He asks the raven many questions about lenore spanning from if he will be happy to if she has found peace in heaven. The answer the raven gives is never more. Essentially by the end of the story the man knows he will never find love or peace without Lenore for the rest of his life. Edgar Allan Poe models his stories after his life. His wife had died, and he never got over this. So in his stories he uses romanticism to show the story of his

    Christopher McCandless was a bright young man who had graduated from Emory University, and was an avid outdoorsman. An article was written after his death, “Death of an Innocent” that discussed his time in Alaska as well as his motives for traveling there. A movie was later made about his adventures in 1992 and 1993 titled “Into The WIld”. Chris’s journey was all in an effort to achieve a higher level of transcendental thinking, transcendentalism being the belief that in order to understand the nature of reality, one must first examine and analyze the reasoning process that governs the nature of experience. Christopher McCandless had a generous heart, and was a good person which is to be admired, but he was also a fool for thinking that he…

    Now days, it is hard to connect or be with the nature, especially if you live in a city. While there are people that interact with the nature every day because of their rural location. The short poem “Traveling through the Dark” by William Stafford, is about a person that encounter a dead deer in the road in the middle of the night.

    Some aspects of Transcendentalism can be applied in today's society, while others have lost their relevance due to the changes of social and economic conditions since the time of Thoreau. The Transcendentalists' goal was to create a Utopia in America. They believed in a society without rules in which you would be free to do whatever you wanted as long as it did not infringe on the freedom or well-being of others. The concept of what is a Utopia is different for every person. In today's densely populated countries it appears almost impossible to do anything that does not affect or infringe upon someone else.…

    (E. O. Wilson). In the novel, Into the Wild author Jon Krakauer not only examines Chris McCandless’ life and his actions but also shares his own past actions and how they relate to Chris, bringing light to why Chris did what he did. Every person needs to find their own key to satisfaction, McCandless’s happened to be the transcendentalist beliefs of nature being the only substance required for happiness. Jon Krakauer supports the dependence upon nature by explaining why someone would take radical actions, like McCandless, to experience the life written about by some of the world’s most famous transcendentalist writers. As Krakauer shares in the…

    Transcendentalists strongly believed in the sacredness of nature. Thoreau believed that he had wasted a day if he had not gone for at least a three-hour nature walk. Thoreau praises nature, as other Transcendentalists do, for it offers a promised, unchanging location in a world predicated in change. During the popular times of transcendentalism, a lot of nature was still virgin space. It was not as torn up or populated rather wild and still many unexplored areas. But still today with the increase in population and urbanization, our country has several national parks to preserve nature. Through these there are many people today who seek the peace and beauty that nature has to offer through more modern ways of travel and vacation.…

    One example of Transcendentalism is the quote from Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson on page 389 in the 1st line, which states "I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or parcel of God." This quote shows the transcendental belief that God, nature, and humanity are united in a shared universal soul. The quote shows this belief by saying that nature allows us to become separated from the daily routine of the world so that we take some time to see everything and feel that we are part of nature and part of God.…

    In the 1800s, Ralph Waldo Emerson was a primary leader of the philosophical and literary movement known as Transcendentalism. Emerson stressed the importance of self-reliance, self-improvement, self-confidence, optimism, and freedom. Transcendentalism is all about finding yourself, isolating from society, and allowing nature to change your perspective. It’s about not conforming. Modern day music holds elements of Transcendentalism that are evident in multiple ways. I have written three songs that represent transcendentalism and in doing this I will explain: self-reliance, conformity, and the fact that everything is a reflection of the Over-Soul (God).…
