Consequences for a noncomformist

There are good things and bad things to being your own person. The good things are being who u is and seeing you achieve the ultimate goal. Also a person may never know who they are but you broke through that barrier. On the flip side there are many consequences to the action you take by being who you are. Like many great speakers they were conformist such as Martin Luther King. He was his own person and spoke against segrartion and he ended up in jail. He also had many people who disliked him and abused his property. Another person in history who spoke up for themselves was Rosa Parks. She wanted her own seat because she felt that she shouldn’t get up for anyone and was put in jail for it.
            A person who started this conformist movement was Theroue. He was his own person and stuck to the things he thought was right. He was made fun of by his family and friends. Also he was mocked by others.  Being your own person t times can put anyone at risk at getting their feelings hurt. It may also destroy a person not just physically but mentally as well. Most people in the world aren’t prepared to be themselves so they mock others at their success.

Walden Pond

           

            Thoreau didn’t waste his time at Walden’s Pond. He didn’t waste time because he wanted to find himself. Thoreau went for spiritual and self-enlightenment. Thoreau took time out his life to find out who he is and why he is this way. Thoreau also wanted to find the answers to life.
            Thoreau was honest with himself. Meaning that he knew what he was going to be in for. He also knew that his journey from regular man. To being transformed into a man that hears nature or understands the way of the world. Thoreau ignored what the people said about him he chased what he believed in. He stood his ground spoke from his gut so the people may understand his mind.
            Thoreau blew away the minds of average people. By his metaphors and personal insight he showed in his writings. No other person during his age saw the earth as alive. They saw it as room to improve or build up a foundation. Thoreau at Walden Pond proved that everyone or everything has a reason to be alive. He proved that they all give something so that the world my live. In the 2years he was in his cabin Thoreau saw a gift that no one my ever see again.
            Thoreau has shown the world how to approach their lives. He also has shown the world that are earth is a home. Thoreau is a man ahead of is time because he saw the world without life. Still tot his day he worlds to prevent it from happing.
