This week we will be starting a new in-class reading. Ralph Waldo Emerson's work had a massive influence on Thoreau and Self-Reliance is a fitting counterpart to Walden.
We will be reading a majority of Self-Reliance in class and we will be writing a "Rhetorical Precis", also known as an argument summary.
Attached you will find the complete text of Self-Reliance as well as an overview on Rhetorical Precis.
The Rhetorical Precis is due Friday (per. 7) and Tuesday (per. 2, 4).
