Sorry and here's your smoke du jour brought to you

00:04

by independent thinkers It took them forever to agree on

00:08

which i'm up here We're sending you all right We'll

00:11

check out the following passage Shmoop the face is bashful

00:23

Sleepy stop Okay the words rejected dismisses and shame in

00:33

paragraph to suggest a feeling of what and hear the

00:37

pendulum in this paragraph emerson is basically talking about how

00:42

it sucks when we're afraid to share a good idea

00:44

and that it sucks even worse when someone who isn't

00:47

afraid to share gets all the credit for the idea

00:50

later on it's kind of like how we first thought

00:52

of the idea of putting low quality cheese in a

00:54

pressurized can but due to our lack of confidence we

00:57

now have to watch the makers of easy cheese the

01:00

cheese will choice be suggests that the word love captures

01:05

the feeling of shame once we've rejected our own idea

01:09

good one that love can't cause feelings of shame but

01:12

let's all take a second to think of an example

01:14

of that from our birth Well that was depressing Oh

01:19

are something more specific like when we asked janey to

01:22

the homecoming in seventh grade by writing our request in

01:25

giant letters made of toothpaste on her driveway and she

01:29

said knowing then asked us to come over and scrape

01:32

all the toothpaste off with a toothbrush while she and

01:35

josh were inside drinking smoothies Yeah that would be an

01:39

example But what point is that Love is definitely not

01:42

what emerson's going for in this paragraph choice b is

01:45

off the table Meanwhile choice See Never deserved to be

01:48

on the table to begin with There's Nothing easy about

01:50

watching somebody else get all the glory of your ideas

01:54

Option d gets all morbid on us and says that

01:56

emerson is talking about death Well this is taking it

01:59

too far Emerson is definitely trying to get across that

02:02

it's not super fun to watch somebody bask in your

02:04

glory but he doesn't compare it tio dying although when

02:08

we saw somebody had marketed that dazzler before us way

02:11

did feel like crawling into a grave Okay answer a

02:15

is the only one that comes close to picking up

02:18

what emerson is putting down What ralph waldo is trying

02:21

to capture is this sense of regret that comes along

02:24

with not sharing our good idea when we had a

02:26

chance way no this feeling all too well Every time

02:29

we walk into a room with likeable wallpaper it just 00:02:32.375 --> [endTime] cuts like a knife Tasty
