In my blogging experience I have noticed that the tone and style I write in is more influenced by how I feel that day.I feel this is a very good way to reflect on the day I had which is what Emerson was trying to do, use his writing as a way to reflect on not only his day but also his past, and in doing weblogs you try to write bout some of the more interesting things that have happened to you in your lifetime and as you write you start to reminisce on what was actually going on, how you felt at the time, and maybe even your surroundings. With every memory there is something that triggers a mental picture to go off in your mind, like waves to an old television, it may take a while but the picture will become clearer with a little bit of time. The way we write is also very closely related with the fact that we take our own personal morals in to mind when coming up with something to write about and make public because when someone reads what you have written you do not want them to get the feeling that you are too personal or even inappropriate. What you write says a lot about you as a person making everything you post a political discussion and the transcendentalist found that being virtuous is more than a physical aspect it is also a mental one and by being able to decide if something is politically correct or appropriate for the world to be able to view about you is a easy way to be virtuous.
The main differences between today's world and then is we are not afraid to speak what is actually on our minds and this is how we are defined as a more modern people. We feel that our opinion is more than just merely a thought. It is a silent voice that no one will ever hear if we do not speak up, and writing down our opinions is a way that we can tell how we personally feel about our issues and making those writings public is something that just was not done back then they were of earth and soil and felt that if they felt a certain way about an issue God would already know and would take care of the problem in his own time, which is true, but writing is a way for us to vent, work things out, and a numerous amount of other things$. We rely on our ability to focus our energy in writing to allow us to express feelings of compassion, hatred, and sorrow. When they used it as a tool to map out their spiritual lives and write poems and stories that had elements of the earth and God.

In conclusion, the reason the Trascendentalists were so into writing about the earthly elements is because they based their lives n their faith and being honest to themselves and the elements were thought to be very pure to them and that is where they got their inspiration to write some of the poems and books that can out during this movement and had strong reference to God and the plants and animals. We in this day and age are more critical and tend to feel that those things re not always realistic inspirtations and tend to focus more on the things we know rather that the things we dream about,unless the topic is fictional and made up.
