AUTHOR IN PROGRESS

As I have to think of my self as now a author in progress is very odd I can't really understand Emerson and his writing because it is older and more technical then amy thing I even say. I feel that I need to just focus and try to understand the message that he has about how every one should just relie on themselves then on what other people have p say. I get that but he uses metaphors and other examples to make very hard to understand.
