Argumentation: Emily Dickinson

When you think of transcendentalism, you immediately think of famous poets such as Ralph Waldo Emerson or Henry David Thoreau, although she doesn’t exactly fell into the category of transcendentalism, she was well-reguarded of Emerson. Some of Dickinson’s poems seemed to be transcendental, yet not quite. She followed and pursued dark romanticism trusting that the mentally angst of agony happens to be more terrifying rather than any physical distress one can experience. Dickinson believes that one’s anguishing physical happenings can conduct to mental suffering.

As any typical human being, we all have emotions even though at times we don’t want to admit it. We go through the happy emotions as well as the sad, raging, haunting ones. For example, heartbreaks. Those are the worst whether you have lost a loved one or your significant other who has decided to leave you. Heartbreaks can have an individual experience it both mentally and physically whether it leads to depression, low-self esteem, rage, loss of appetite or excessively eating. If the heartbreak hadn’t occurred, no one would ever have to experience this because it wasn’t naturally within the person. 

Then there’s those individuals who have faced abuse which traumatizes and disturbs one’s mind repeatedly. They then again, experience the same or similar symptoms of a heartbreak. Yet this time, there’s actual physical which causes the trauma of one’s mind. No human being is born with anxiety, depression, or any sort of suffering mental exhaustion, it’s the world and environment around us that arouses the evil voices in our heads. 

To add it all up, individuals aren’t naturally evil or face any emotional suffering at birth it all depends on what one’s experiences in their time being. We are taught certain things. But it’s in our power to take or refuse what we are taught.
