1. three central beliefs of romanticism are its view of nature as a source of truth, the importance of the individual over society and social institutions, and the disregard for rules and authority. how do the poems of emily dickinson and walt whitman display these beliefs in general? give a specific example from one of the poet’s poems for each trait.

The poems of both Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman were two important American poets who wrote about many of the subjects that are often found in Romantic literature.

An example of this in Dickinson's poetry is her poem "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church." In this poem, Dickinson highlights the importance of nature by claiming that nature gives her more of an spiritual nourishment than church. She also disregards rules and authority by choosing to stay in her garden, as opposed to going to church.

An example of these values in the poetry of Walt Whitman is that of "Song of Myself." In this poem, Whitman highlights the importance and uniqueness of each individual being, and how this should be placed higher than society. Moreover, he also highlights the importance of nature by uniting his identity with that of the natural world.

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
