Final Cover Letter 2

For the overall content of this research, I chose the topic due to the very fact that it IS in all aspects related to my Major and Career of choice. Emerson had a very elegant way of writing, and with it a great new and revolutionary idea that took to the hearts of many. I have used many of his ideas and writing formats – and in a few cases, I even did my best to imitate to the very best of my ability his exact style of writing to form an essay very much like one he would have wrote (for my own practice) – in much of my writing to use as a tool and guide. I am a firm believer that for your writing to become known and interested in by the public, you must have an original and refreshing writing style that people will enjoy and take part in – whether it’s an imitation off of how you speak (For those with great public speaking skills), or simply something no one has seen before – in order for it to become any sort of success. Nowadays, reading is become less and less popular by the new generations, and to get them to read, they must be able to understand, relate to, and even “hear” what they are reading – TV and the media have had a significant effect on the present day individual’s attention span – hearing is easier then looking.

Given this, throughout my research my opinions maintained a truth to them, and this made it much easier for me to continue with my work – drafting a thesis and abstract took little time once I found the information I needed which, in turn, did not take long at all. While my first drafts of these were vastly different, I did this for my own benefit – to find where the greater strength of my arguments would be, or if none, how they should be put together – basically, finding a synergy between the ideas of Transcendentalism and literary form. Needless to say, it worked out great once I segmented the ideas and read them in separation.
