Further Explanation:

In the essay "Society and Solitude" Ralph Waldo Emerson builds a conclusion about 'solitude'. He says that the relationship between society and solitude is very difficult to either break off to unite completely. At the beginning of the essay he is of the opinion that to feel and contemplate the inner self, a person must move towards nature. Nature provides a space of inner contemplation. Moving towards nature implies that the person moves away from society.  He realized that the moon, the trees and the other natural things all live together. After coming closer towards Nature, Ralph understands that 'solitude' is not possible in real sense. He asks the people to choose and select the proportion which would neither make them too alone or too interfered. As a remedy, he asks people to start a conversation with people. The conversation would help them to decide what they want to choose and opt from society. He asks the people to start the process of segregation to choose whom they want to be in touch with. The process of conversation would help the people to select and exclude things according to their efficiency. Building conversation would never corrupt any person rather would help in the selection.

Chapter: “Society and Solitude” by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Keywords:

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Society and Solitude, conversation, contemplation.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
