Patriotic and individualistic, urban and untamed, wealth and enslaved—Americans in the first half of the 19th century embodied a host of contradictions. Struggling to make sense of their complex, inconsistent society, writers of the period turned inward for a sense of truth. Their movement, known as romanticism, explored the glories of the individual spirit, the beauty of nature, and the possibilities of the imagination.

• How are you affected by nature? Do you find comfort in it? Do you reflect the moods of nature?
• What is the role of nature in your life?
• What is meant by an individual's spiritual side? How to you define it?
• Is there a connection between the individual's spirit and nature? If so, what is that connection?
• What does it mean to know something intuitively? For example, has a parent or a sibling ever known something was wrong with you without having talked with or seen you? What do we mean when we say "I just know it"?
• How do you demonstrate that you are an individual? Do you think independently of others or do you follow the crowd?
