Writer Henry James argued that Emerson had no concept of the evil that exists in the world. In James's words, it was "a side of life as to which Emerson's eyes were thickly bandaged. . . . He had no great sense of wrong . . . No sense of the dark, the foul, the base." In your opinion, is this a valid criticism of Emerson? Explain why or why not, using at least 1 direct quote from "Nature" in your response..

Taking into account the work "nature," we can say that yes, the criticism to Emerson mentioned in the question above, is valid.

Explanation:

In "Nature," Emerson encourages the contemplation of nature and the enhancement of its beauty in a completely transcendentalist text. In this term he reveals the good that nature provides and how human beings spend time with their ills instead of enjoying these goods and all the comfort and beauty that nature constantly gives us. This may be a very beautiful concept, but it does not work in the real world, because we cannot control what problems happen and we have to solve them in order to really feel well, however Emerson takes a position in which he states that just contemplating nature will solve all the problems, when we know that this is not true. In this case, we can support the criticism that says that Emerson keeps his eyes bandaged to society, emitting a great sense of error and lack of basis.

the examples that saki used to represent satire through situational irony are options two (2) and five (5) inasmuch as the wolf thought that looking for a girl in the bushes could be as easy as hunting little pigs at the park, but it took him so much time to find the girl if it had not been not for a silly mistake. also, bertha would have survived to the wolf's hunt if she had not won those medals for goodness, which at the end they were what got her killed by making noise, so winning medals of goodness was not so good achievement, after all.

Which example of situational irony does saki used to create satire? select 2.

Hich line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, (there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling), adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as (they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather,) and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that( i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country,) by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich.( i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. reset next)
