Disneyland was far more entertaining than homework

Proposal, I may be way off base, but I'm going to take a shot at it.

Using American Scholar as the basis for my argument; I plan to show how Mark Twain in the text The Celebrated Jumping Frog also possibly bringing in the outside text of A War Prayer, Walt Whitman, using mainly the text Leaves of Grass and Macomber The Gossip of Gold Hill all represent "Man Thinking"

I will start out by analyzing American Scholar and describing what Emerson meant when he said we must all strive to become "Man thinking."

Then I will dissect each text using examples from each text and possibly of each author to show how they represent to the reader their own version of "man thinking"

  1. Please see Janel's post as an example of what I'm looking for in the proposal. I can't really offer much until there's some depth to it.
