Ralph
Waldo Emerson, the speaker/writer, wrote an essay on how to educate young
minds. The occasion of this essay is around the 1820s till the 1830s. Emerson
addresses everyone and anyone who reads his essay, but in particular educators
and teachers. The purpose of this essay is to teach and inform teachers of
different ways to educate and guide students to reach their full potential. He
also encourages teachers to be patient and to inspire students to follow their
natural abilities. Emerson informs the public that the educational system is in
dire need of reformation. Education is the subject matter of his essay,
however, he believes that without the cooperation of the teachers, education
will be incomplete. According to
Emerson, a good educator is one who teaches for the joy of teaching and does
not dictate his own point of view and. Teachers should be able to nurture and
encourage all sorts of abilities. They should hearten students to speak their
minds and voice their opinions without being uppity and presumptuous. In order
to convey his message of reform and change, Emerson adopts a sincere and
informative tone. He sounds benevolent and adapts a confident accent to make
the reader feel at ease and persuade them to adapt his point of view.
