Task 2: What would a 21st century Emerson have to say about the same topic?

            One would say that the "current" Emerson would be adamant as to believe each aspect in the piece. Acknowledging nature facilitates one to reflect on him- or herself as an individual. The idea that one should categorize and juxtapose components found in nature, emphasizes that the individual is learning the ways of nature.
            The role in which books play based from the piece would be undeniably true to the 21st century Emerson. He would accept the fact that books are essential in preserving past teachings and for the Scholar to procure  "nourishment" from these resources. In addition, in education, he believes that books ranging from various subjects, set as a foundation for a student to prosper intellectually. Eventually, this would promote creativity as students use their knowledge.  Solely focusing on books is a warning that a Scholar should take into consideration. The reason is that this would preclude the Scholar from developing his own "book;" in other words, the Scholar would not develop his own way to learn creatively. The Scholar should not be sedentary and just read books. The current Emerson would stress the importance of utilizing knowledge in order to show self-expression.
            Lastly, the Scholar must go through or at least recognize the sufferings that people face. Two traits that a Scholar must quintessentially possess are self-confidence and self-reliance.
