If you don't know what that is, go here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendentalism I'd say somewhat, and I'm completely with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipop Leftie Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 me too. We've just reached transcendentalism in LA, and my teacher loves it. He apparently started a club for it in high school. I'm really enjoying it, and its really motivational. I was really shocked to find out that my friend in that class doesn't like it! I guess he's a little normal... and people like him, which is not the case for me. Its good to know that its okay for society not to like me(which i already know, but it feels good to hear it again.)

Suzy Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hmmm...I've thought about this before - I din't know there was a word for it. Thanks - I learn somethin' new on the MFC everyday. I still have to ponder this though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollipop Leftie Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 I don't quite understand what transcendentalist means..Wiki waaaaaaaay to confusing. Basically, its bringing down society, praising individuality, Nature is God, brains aren't everything, religon comes through you, not established religons, etc. We just had a transcendentalism lecture today too! Weirdness... What grade language arts class are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikaholic Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 AP English...but we're doing different literature movements...we finished romanticism, so now we're on to transcendentalism... Really? We talked about transcendentalism and such last year in 10th grade English. We're all about the British Lit this year Regardless, I see it in Mika. Most definitely.

chimny Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 you'd be crazy to say that he isn't.... he might not be an extremist and screaming it from the roof tops etc... but he is... for sure... and not ashamed of it - good on him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armande Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 i can defintally see aspects of it, however i think that maybe mika has a different motiviation, but gets to a similar point other that which is talked about on wiki... ohhh i dont know lol i need time to mull over it, and i really dont know mika's beliefs/beliefs on religion enough to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yes, I'd say so. It's nice to have a word that describes what Mika seems to be all about. Maybe he would describe himself as one (partly anyway) or maybe not. Love today, from Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ioana Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Don't think he's someone who can be labeled he takes bits and pieces from different places,but his way of thinking can't be stereotyped he's certainly got a theory of his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
