The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail Act 1

"Don't just remember what I said. Remember what I'm talking about." If everybody just remembered what people said, only their exact words, people would be like robots. To remember what people are talking about is to remember their words, their actions, their expressions, and their emotions. This can change the entire meaning of the words. This relates to transcendentalism because, transcendentalism is believing that everything is interconnected with God, just like remembering what people say is part of remembering what people are talking about. It is a smaller part (remembering what people say / everyday events) of a bigger whole (remembering what people are talking about / God).
