The transcendentalists that we learned about (Thoreau, Emerson) are very interesting guys. Their ideals are very interesting to me. At the same time I don't really agree with some of their view points. Such as Thoreau. I don't agree with his view of going to jail for not paying taxes to boycott the Mexican war. He believed that it was valuable and he was taking a stand to be in jail. I believe there are other ways to boycott the way other than not paying a legal thing that everyone pays. I wrote my letter about the cost of the ACT test and how the poverty stricken people in our country are at a disadvantage for college. This letter was a letter of complaint on a prevalent issue and we were to send it to someone in charge of our issue. I don't really believe that my letter will get a response. I am confronting a prevalent issue the ACT company has had with lots of people. The head CEO probably gets lots of letters with the same issue and I am wanting to make a change on this by sending this letter and hoping he takes it into consideration for the future.
