I Celebrate Myself
By Luke Mallette
I celebrate myself was one of the main themes of the transcendentalists campaign against the higher ups in society. This is because celebratiing yourself goes against everything that they (the higher ups) stand for. This helps them because by celebrating themselves, they are rocusing more on themselves and less on pleasing the rich society that opresses them to achieve a little bit of recognition. It also says that everything and everybody is precious, that everybody matters, and that no one is better than anyone else. Because of this, this is something that the transcendentalists were sure to do, as they would do anything to support themselves against the society that was opressing them.
