Assignment #2

"They cast the dignity of man from their downtrod selves upon the shoulders of a hero, and will perish to add one drop of blood to make that great heart beat, those giant sinews combat and conquer” -- Emerson, The American Scholar




They - people ---> scholars, ordinary


Hero - scholars, God, some type of leader


drop of blood - literal meaning, discovery, idea, contribution


great heart, sinews - humanity, society


combat and conquer - What is being combatted and conquered? ---> life's challenges - still vague
