What's wrong with Emerson? XD At least we only have two set texts from him and both of those are easy to recognize!! (It just annoys me the teacher still hasn't updated the notes from Nature!! Unless there's something tomorrow I need to look something from Sparknotes or something XP)

*went through all the notes + skimmed through texts today and is totally dead*

My two main problems with Emerson's writing:

1)as an ESL, his English prose is utterly incomprehensible to me; I just skim his texts through, staring with blank eyes because I just don't understand what the chains of words are supposed to mean

2)and when I do understand the sentences as words, the meaning, as in what he says turns out to be complete yargon to me ( ... )

i totally get you. i had to memorize the meaning/explanation to some of whitman's passages because explaining it... i could not. ;;;; i'm glad you've enjoyed some, tho! have you read ee cummings? i really like him.
good luck with the exam, i'm sure you're gonna do great!
