Emerson’s “The Young American”
1. The format of “Young American” is a combination of Emerson’s vision and opinions. He gently introduces his points, but does not include counterpoint arguments.
2. The article’s thesis is “America is the country of the future; it is a country of beginnings, of projects, of designs, and expectations.”
3. Other writers would share similar ideas to those of Emerson. Many believe that America is one of the strongest among the nations.
Ex. Crd. - The lyrics of “The Greatest Love of All” by Whitney Houston reflect Emerson’s views in “Young American.” The line, “I believe that children are our future,” included in the song supports the idea that children of today’s society will grow and contribute to the nation’s future success.
