Day 14

So, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." You may ask what this has to do with anything yet it truly does. The Peanuts gang may be seen as transcendental, well at least some of them. Which of the characters truly are transcendental or individualists? Why do you think this? What about Charlie Brown? Personally, I do not think he is so transcendental. What do you think? Why?

Remember the following:

1. Make sure you have your value picked
2. Make sure that you have 2 quotes, paraphrases from "Into the Wild"
3. Make sure you pick a second text from the textbook.

I think that the boy who sat in the pumpkin patch was transcendental. I think that he was because he believed in the great pumpkin and stayed with his views no matter what the other kids said. And Charlie Browns sister i don't think was very transcendental because she cared what the other kids said and left but then came back. I don't think that Charlie Brow was a transcendentalist. He didn't seem to have his own ideas or thoughts he just kind of went along with the crowd. The one thing he did have though that was different than the other kids was his costume wasn't the same. But as a whole I don't think he is transcendental.

I believe the Great Pumpkin believer was the most transcendental. No matter the thouhgts of the other children, he did what his heart told him and went his own way. I personally do not believe Charlie to be transcendental, because he, like the others, chose to follow the crowd and do the usual task of trick-or-treating and then partying. Very not individualistic.

Throughout the movie the obvious transcendentalest was the boy waiting for the great pumpkin. I see this in many ways starting with the reason of him not caring about what other kids thought about his feelings and thoughts. Many of the other kids felt as if his feeling and thoughts of this pumpkin were all a big joke. Not to the young boy, he would stay there all night if he had to but he wanted to see the great pumpkin. He stated his argument and belief of the pumpkin and stuck with it no matter what people thought. And that is why i believe he was very transcendental. On the other side Charlie Brown from my point of view was very social. He didnt care so much about this great pumpkin that the one boy believed in. All charlie wanted was to hang out with his friends and go trick or treating.

I think that Linal is transidental. Only because he sat in the pumpkin patch. When all the other kids went trick or treating. Snoopy is in the same catorory. He is not like other dogs. He hangs with a bird. He predends to be somthing else. I think that the dude that plays the piano is in the same boat. He is quiet. Stays to himself. His life is the piano.

I think the character that is a transcendental is the boy who sat in the pumpkin patch. I think this because he didn't care what any body thought or what any body said to him. He just believed there was s great pumpkin. I think Charlie Browns personality seems to be transcendental. He was always willing to do stuff for people but was afraid that they might do something to him. For example when that girl wanted to play football. Thats how he is trancendental.

In my oppinion i think that linal is transcendental. Ithink this because he sat in the pumkin patch waiting for "The Great Pumpkin" while every one else went trick or treating. They also went to a party without him. The next person that i think is a ranscendetalist is the boy with the piano, he is quiet and doesnt really talk. snoopy is also a transcendentalist because he is an unusual dog, he hangs out with a bird and isnt like any other dog i know. Charlie Brown really isnt a transcendentalist. I think this because he prety much just goes with the crowd and does what everyone else is doing. He doesnt stand out like some of the others.

In the video I think that linus was the most transcendental. He was the one that stayed out in the pumpkin patch all night waiting for the great pumpkin. No matter what anyone said he stayed there and waited for ti to come. The rest of the characters just follewed the one girl and didnt do what they wanted to do. Charlie Brown i dont think is very transcendental for many reasons. Frist he just does what everyone eles is doing and he fine with it. Linus is the only one in the whoel video i think thinks for them self and thsoe not give into peer presure.

Mr. Kay,

Hey...sry that i wasnt in class today. I went to Fox 2 news for my video class. I was very unhappy that I missed your class today, but I look forward to seeing you at the communication camp :). My parents told me to do what I wanted and I chose to go to camp. Thanks for pushin me to go cuz i really want to. Obviously I cant answer this quote, but hopefully this counts as something.

ZACK SZAJNER 5th Hour said...

in the video I think that the person with the blanket was most transcendental. He was choosing his own way. He was not letting people convin e him to do other things. He really thought the great pumpkin man would come. When everyone said he would miss trick or treat, he thought of his own way that would be more fun. Overall, I do not think that Charlie brown was transcendental. I think that he was more of a follower than anything. He did not choose to do different things, and followed everyone e to trick or treat.

Luke LaFountain said...

Mr. Kay,
I personally think there are a couple people who are transcendental in the Peanuts movie. There is Linel is transcendental because he doesn't want to go trick or treating like everyone else, but to go to a pumpkin and watch for the Great Pumpkin. Also, after everyone discourages him, he still wants to go to the pumpkin patch even though everyone calls him stupid. I also think Snoopy is a bit transcendental. He isn't really following the humans and hes definitely not like other dogs. I remember you, Mr. Kay, said a true nonconformist is one who hangs out with conformists, but really isn't. This is how Snoopy is. Maybe hes not so much transcendent as he is nonconformist, but that's how he is. I don't know if Charlie Brown is transcendental. He is just like everyone else. The only reason hes a big star in the show is because he is fun to watch and he has a personality expressing good values.

I think that Lynus was the most transcendental of the group of kids. He went on his own to meet the Great Pumpkin. Although Chrlie Brown's little sister did the same thing, she only did it because Lynus did it.I do not think Charlie Brown is a transcendentalist. He always followed the group. But in a way he was an individual because he didn't have the same costume as the other kids. He was a holy ghost (no pun intended) while the other kids were either regular ghosts or witches.

After watching Charlie Brown I've decided that I think the boy who sat in the pumpkin patch was a transcendentalist. I believe this because no matter what all the rest of his friends said about how "The Great Pumpkin" guy wasn't real. He refused to believe this, that shows true transcendentalism. He sat up all night just waiting for him to come out of the patch. After the long night, he still refused to believe that he wasn't real. In the end he told Charlie Brown that next year he is going to set in another pumpkin patch and wait. However, as for the rest of the Peanut crew. I disagree, they were not transcendental. All they would do was laugh, and yell at him. They went trick or treating then to the party, they didn't even consider believing him. Except for Charlie Brown's sister Sally, but after all night waiting with him, she got really mad, saying it was a waste of her night. Charlie Brown wasn't really an individualist or transcendentalist either, he just went with the flow. Whatever his friends did, he would do the same. Except for his ghost costume, but referring back to the show he said it was an "accident". So it wouldn't would show anything.

I think the most transcendental character in Charlie Brown is Linus, the boy who sat in the pumpkin patch. He disagreed with every character on the existence of the great pumpkin. Everyone including his sister insisted that he was crazy to miss trick-or-treating for a non existent "Great Pumpkin." Yet Linus was determined and persisted on staying in the pumpkin patch. Year after year he waited. He did not conform with the rest of the group and go trick-or-treating and to the Halloween party. It had shown conformity in the video when each character had dressed the same, a ghost or a witch. Linus was not dressed up at all. Charlie Brown was a conformist in this video. He went along with all the other characters and told Linus that the Great Pumpkin didn't exist. Along with Linus Snoopy was also a transcendentalist, but the rest of the characters were conformists.

I think the boy who sat in the pumpkin patch was transcenental. Becasuse he stayed in the pumpkin patch regardless of what the other kids said. Also because he did what he wanted, and even if he was all alone and didnt get to go trick or treating, he still stood up for what he believed in. For doing this, he was being an individual. In my opinion, in some ways Charlie Brown was an individual, because his costume was different from the rest of the kids. And he didnt care, he just went with it, and was being an individual. But in other cases, I dont think he was trancendental, because he didnt really say much and kind of just went with what other people were doing.

I think that the little boy who beileved in the Great Pumpkin was the most transcendental.I beileve this because almost every kid loves to go trick or treating on halloween,except for this kid.He wanted to go do what he beileved in and what he wanted to do.I really didnt notice to much transcendentalism in Charlie.Besides for the fact his costumed had a ton of holes and he got rocks instead of candy.He was just like a normal regular kid.He was the same as all the other.

I think Linal ( i think that's how his name is spelled) was the most transcendental. He had views unlike anyone else. The great pumpkin was his Santa Clause and this makes him more transcendental if he even made it up. no matter who said what or even the entire cast of peanuts he stuck in the patch. Lucy even joined him and regretted waiting with him left, and he stayed till 4 in the morning! In fact he would stick out even more if he didn't celebrate Christmas in the peanuts gang. Lucy needs to get her own brain, while Charlie brown was slightly better, but not by much. He stayed with the group trick-or-treating even though he got(BUM-BUM-BUM) rocks. he continued to linger with the group, at the party he was just a jester to them. He still stayed until the party was over. Originally I was thinking snoopy was the transcendentalist but he gets WAY to much attention for a minor character(not that I don't like him) this is because he left the group and did his flying ace routine.

I think snoopy was an individualsit because he always did his own thing. When everyone dressed up as ghosts, he dressed as a pilot. He even gets made fun of by one of the kids but he doesnt care. While everyones out trick or treating, snoopy was flying is house and shooting down enemies as if they were motionless. Eventually snoopy got shot down, and when he made it back to the house eveyone was partying. Instead of joining them, he just chilled with the man playin the piano and danced around. Snoopy was a great example of an individual because even when he was around others at a party, he still was able to do his own thing.

Haha I remember watching this when I was little. I used to love Charlie Brown. The boy that carryed the blanket around was really transendental. He wouldnt let anyone tell him that the great pumkin wasnt real. Even after staying out all night he still believed that the Great Pumkin was real. I don't think that Charlie Brown is transcendental. I think he went more with the flow then everybody else. He just did what the others were doing. Even when all he got was rocks he still continued to trick or treat. Also, he never stood up for himself.

I was absent today, but I have seen this movie before. I think the kid who believed in the Great Pumpkin was a true trancendental. He believed in the Great Pumpkin, and none of the other kids could change that. No matter what they said to him he still waited. Also snoopy was a transcendental because he always does what he wants. When everyone dressed the same, he went with a different costume. Charlie Brown followed the other kids, rather than doing what he wanted. He also didn't believe in the Great Pumpkin because the other kids said it wasnt true.

Mr.Kay
I think that the character who sat all night in the pumkin patvh was the most transcendental out of all the characters. He diddn't go out trick or treating because he was so determined to see the great pumkin. He stuck with his beliefs and diddn't care what everbody else said how he wouldn't see the great pumkin. Even thou he diddn't see the great pumkin he is still going to do it next year. I don't think charlie brown is that tanscentental. He seem to do what everyone else does. For example when he made his gost costume. Everyone was doing it so he did. He also failed at making it but still wore it.

Mr. Kay,
Linal was definatly the main trancndentalist. He didnt care about what all the other kids thought. They all called him dumb and stupid for waiting. Charlie Brown was trancendental at all. He always went with the group. Also, Charlie Browns sister was follower. She waited with linal at the pumpkin patch and then blamed him for her staying. She does not take the blame for her own actions.

I think that the kid that waits for the pumpkin thing is individual. One reason is because he doesn't go trick or treating with all the others. Plus he sits in the pumpkin garden every year usually by himself. Another person i think is an individual is the dog, snoppy. I say this because he kind of does his own thing with being a pilot and all the stuff he does pretending to be in the war. Also i kind of think the girl who wheres the which mask. I say this because everyone else is a ghost. Last, i thinik charlie brown is the least indivual because he just follows what everyone does.

brittney said...

Mr.Kay,
I've never really thought that Charlie Brown could have transendental characters. In my opinion though I find that(I can't remember his name but the kid who waited in the garden for the pumpkin)I feel that he was a Individualist. My reason for this is that when everyone else told him that the pumpkin didnt exsist he still belived. Charlie Brown, dosn't really seem to be transendental. My reason for this that in the movie he seemed that he was just going with the flow and not acting out and doing what he wanted. Another character who seemed to be a transendentalist was the kid who had all the holes in his costume. The reason for this was that he didnt seem to care what he looked like in font of everyone else.

To me the only obviouse character was the kid that waited for the great pumkin and the dog. He believed in something no one else did and lived up to it. Though Charlie Brown's little sister went to the pumkin patch she was not so transcendental. I see her not being transcendental because she lost faith in the "Great pumkin" and left. The dog had a totaly difrent costume than anyone that night. He did not "Trick-or-treat", Instead he pretended he was what he dressed as. Charlie Brown was not very transcendental in my opinion. Charlie did not have a different costume than anyone else besides the fact it had many more holes in it. Charlie was possibly set-up to look transcendental. I say this because he only got rocks in his bag that night...Plus he's always moched.

The main individualist was liones, even though the whole group was going trick or reating and to the party, Lioness stayed at the pumpkin patch. He is a transcendentalist because he actually got someone to come to the pumpkin patch wth him. Charlie Brown is not a transcententalist because he followed everybody where they went. Not only that but he is not an individualist because he was a ghost for halloween like probably 12 other people that went trick or treating with him. I don't like the main girl in the story because she made fun of Liones for doing his own thing. There's a lot of people in the world who do that so by being an individualist she looked like everyone else in the world and like a snty brat too. She was nice at the end though, if she showed that to people she would probably be liked more.

I think that Linus is an individualist. He decides to go into the pumpkin patch instead of going trick or treating. Every one else thinks that his idea is a waste of time and that he shouldn't be their. I think that Snoopy is an individualist too because of the way he dresses up for Halloween. Schroeder the piano kid is one of the other individuals. He is always playing his little purple piano and being antisocial with the other kids. Charlie Brown on the other Hand is not as transcendental as Linus. He is constantly going along with the group. He try's to be like every one else even though they treat him some what badly.

the person that i think that is a transcendentalist is the kid that waited in the pumpkin patch for the grate pumpkin. the reason that i say that he is a transcendentalist is because even though the grate pumpkin never came he still believed in him. the i think was not a transcendentalist the girl who wasted her time in the pumpkin path. Carlie brown i think was kinda a transcendentalist he did and didn't have his own ideas. the boy that always plays the piano is a person that is definitely a transcendentalist he never stops playing the piano. the girl that always pulls the football out from under charlie brown is a dark transcendentalist. snoopy of course he is a transcendentalist.

I think that Lineal and Snoopy are characters that are truly transcendentalists. I think that Lineal is a transcendentalist because he believes in the Great Pumpkin without any doubts and will continue to try to see the Great Pumpkin. Snoopy is also a character that is also a transcendentalist for his indecencies and him being in his own world some times. I also agree with you because Charlie Brown is not a transcendentalist. The reason I think that he is not because he is like every one else in the carton.

I think Linus is an transcendentalist. I feel this because Linus did not go trick or treating with the others. Instead Linus stayed in the pumpkin patch. Linus believed the Great Pumpkin would arise from the pumpkin patch of his. I think Lucy is the individualist. Lucy is always a know it all to others. Lucy is always doing her own thing. I think Charlie Brown is a transcendentalist because he is always thinking things through and being more realistic.

in charlie brown i would have never thought to find a form of transdentalism. i think they all have unique personalities. especially Linal and Charlie a little bit too. while all of the other kids were out tricker- treating Linal sat in the pumpkin patch. he belived in the Great Pumpkin and wouldn't let anyone elses' ideas influence him. i think charlie is a very different character from all of te other kids. he always have this strange attitude, his ghost costume had many holes, and he only got rocks.

sammy baby said...

I think that the most transcendentalist character was the boy who sat on the pumpkin patch. i think this because he didn't care about what the other children thought. I also believe that Snoopy is in away a transcendentalist only because he often stayed to himself. I agree with Hanna A. when she said that Charlie Brown's sister is not a transcendentalist because she always seemed to care too much about what other people thought. I think that Charlie Brown was not at all transcendentalist because he always followed the crowd.

The whole group also made fun of the kid who belived in the great pumpkin.

your so lucky that im doing this i got a huge migrain and this screen is so effin bright im going to cry..for real.

ANYWAYS. I think Linus is transcendental, how so? Because that little boy didnt listen to anyone that gave him crap about the great pumpkin..he went on and on about it even if the gang laughed their ass off about it. Every year that kid would get his hopes up, but i really like that he did not listen to anyone.. Cmon' who would miss trick or treating when their that young, he was determined..Snoopy was also a transcendentalist like linus. As for charlie brown hes a follower, he listens to people when they tell him to do something. He tried to make a ghost costume like the rest of them, but he had trouble and looked quite funny. And everyone manipulates him.

I agree that some of the members of the gang in "Peanuts" are transcendental. The biggest example is Linus. He is the one who split away from the group and did his own thing, which is standing in the pumpkin patch waiting for the great pumpkin. While this may be an arguably foolish action, I think he will be more of an individaul than anyone else when he grows up. Snoopy is also a transcendentalist. It may be argued that he is a dog and can't go trick or treating, but he does his own thing when he goes off pretending he is a WWI ace. I do not think Charlie Brown is a transcedentalist for the one reason that he follows the group and does everything they do.

I think the boy waiting for the pumpkin was transcendental. I say this because he did what he wanted. He didnt follow what everyone else did. Charlie brown wasnt trancendental.

I think that there is two people in there group that are transendental. The first would be snoopy. The whole episode Snoopy just did his own thing. He didn't go trick or treating with everyone he went and played behind enemy lines. The other who i think is transendental is the boy who thinks the great pumpkin is real. He doesn't let anyone make him change his mind of what he was going to do that night. He was totally independent.
Now Charlie i thinks is a little of both transendental and non transendental. If that makes any sence. He doesn't want to conform but they are his friends and he doesn't hang out with anyone else. If he wanted to i think he could become transedental.

I think that all of the characters kind of conform to eachother. Except for the one character who waited for the Great Pumpkin. The rest of the kids just went trick or treating and then to a party, which I don't blame them for. Because that sounds like a whole lot more fun than sitting in a Pumpkin patch, however I do admire his spirit. The girl who sat in the Pumpkin patch was decieving although, because you think she is an individual. Than she ends up leaving the young boy in the Pumpkin Patch in the middle of his lookout. So personally I think their all kinda fakers when it comes to transendentalist thoughts. Especially Charlie Brown he is the star of the show, and all he does is star in being a follower. The show was kind of terrible to tell the truth but I liked the Halloween spirit.

Taylor Wattles said...

I think that Lionel was the most transcendental. While everyone else was trick or treating he stayed back and waited for the great pumpkin. He also carried a blanket around with him which everyone else made fun him for in previous episodes. Snoopy is also a individualist because his costume is different and he sticks out from the group. He also stayed back, But unlike Lionel he flew his plane as if were a real pilot. I don't think that Charlie Brown is an individual. For example he tried to get the same costume everyone else had then another reason is he let Lucy(BITCH) talk him into being a pumpkin model and lastly he let her talk him into kicking the football.

I think that the boy who believed in the Great Pumpkin was a transcendentalist. While the other kids went out trick-or-treating, he sat in the pumpkin patch. He sat there all night long, despite the negative feedback he got from everyone else. Even when others told him that the Great Pumpkin was not real and that he was wasting his time, he still stuck to his ideas and didn't give in to peer pressure. I do not think that Charlie Brown is a transcendentalist. He followed the group around the entire night. He also went along with their ideas of costumes and did not stand up for himself when he kept getting rocks in his candy bag. He does not portray any charecteristics of a transcendental, because he does not lead others or come up with his own ideas.

Linal is the transcendental. He believed in the great pumpkin and stayed in the pumpkin patch instead of trick or treating. He didn't care that nobody else believed in it. He stuck to what he believed even after everyone called him stupid. I don't think Charlie brown is transcendental, but i liked his dance.

I don't remember his name but the kid who sat in the pumpkin patch I think was the biggest individual. I think that he is the individual because he never let anyone talk him out of sitting in the pumpkin patch. Even after the Great pumpkin didn't come he told charlie to wait until next year, and that he will find a patch worthy of the pumpkin. I like this about him, he doesn't give up or let other people tell him his ideas are stupid. I don't really like charlie brown, he lets people tell him what to do. He let that one girl talk him into kicking the football even though he knew she was going to pull it away. Also he dresses up like everyone else for halloween, it doesn't really seem like he thinks for himself. I think that even though the dark haired girl was a jerk, she seemed to be an individualist.

I think the one person that is truly the most transdental is the little boy in the pumpkin patch. The boy wanted to see the great pumpkin so bad that he missed out on trick or treating. This is why I think he is the most transcendental of the group. No matter what the other kids were doing the little boy stayed in the pumpkin patch in search of the great pumpkin. On the other hand I think Charlie Brown is not transcendental. I think this way because I think he wanted to follow the gruop and do what they do and it turned out thhat he got rocks instes of candy.

I think Linus is a true transcendentalist. As for Charlie Brown...well...to put it bluntly, He is the ORIGINAL EMO KID. Such a dark romanticist. "If you pull the football away, I'll fall flat on my back and DIE!" Hee hee. And Lucy just sees the bad side of everything, doesn't she? ;) But Snoopy sure is an idividual with that huge noggin of his that cojurse up his lifelike fantasies.

Im not sure if i covered everything, but I have the computer for a limited time.

Linus seems to have the most transcendental opinions than the rest of the peanuts. He was mocked and insulted, but he still had belief in his own opinion. The masses aren't very familiar with the idea of the great pumpkin, but he was. He was an individual in the sense that he didn't follow the others. I believe most of the other characters in the show are conformist. most of them are very invested in others opinions of them. Most of the characters never do anything out of the norm, in fear of being mocked. which i believe is the opposite of transcendentalism.

I think the boy who sat in the pumpkin patch was trascendental. He believed in the "Great Pumpkin" and didn't alter his beliefs because of what other people said. Everyone was telling him how he was going to miss his halloween, he still stayed with what he believed. Even after that girl flipped out on him for missing her halloween, he still went back to the pumpkin patch. I truly see him as the most transcendental character. I dont think Charlie Brown is much of an individualist because he follows others. He did whatever the others did and didn't do his own thing.

I think that Linus was definently the most transcendental in the movie. Everyone else was going to go trick or treating and he stayed back because of the great pumpkin. He didn't go along with the crowd. Even when they were making fun of him he just said this is what i believe, deal with it. The little girl in love with him was a little transcendental when she stayed back and stood up for herself but she cared way too much about what other people thought and her reputation. Snoopy is pretty individual too. Charlie Brown really isn't transcendental. I just think he's funny. He did have a different kind of costume than everyone else but that wasn't on purpose, he just can't cut holes in a sheet the right way. I liked watching that in class today.

Nicholas Visger said...

not being here really doesnt help my situation of writing the blog.

gosh, i can not even remember the last time i even thought or heard of mr. brown.

i do remember that all of them were very individual int heir own likes, dislikes, and their many accomplishments. like the one way good at playing piano, although he always connected with his blanket where ever he went. i think that was a really big letting go problem for him. I do not really think you can always group people into good or dark transcendentalists. i think C. Brown was optimistic the last time i watched him, but he was also quite negative when he need to be. Im really at a lack of mental ability to write about these colorful characters, because i just can not remember them. my dearest apologies if this wasn't one of my more impressive blogs.

Linus is definetly an individualist. He was waiting around all night until 4 AM in the morning to see the Great Pumpkin. Although the Great Pumpkin never came to see him, this shows that he was major individualist. I also believe, to a certain point, that Sally was a transcendentalist. She believed that the Great Pumpkin was going to come around also. Both of these kids did not conform to the group that went Trick-or-Treating. Sticking to your beliefs shows that you are truly transcendental. I believe that Charlie Brown is not a transcendentalist nor an individualist. He went trick-or-treating with the rest of the group. He also never thought out of the box. He didn't think freely for himself it seems. Snoopy seemed to be much more of an individualist than Charlie Brown.

Sorry I didn't get this in last night. I was dead tired from the surgery and I ended up going to bed early. Thank you.

Sorry I was a little late on this blog.


I think the boy who sat on the pumpkin patch was transcendental. because, when all the other kids went trick or treating and had fun on halloween he sat there. He just believed there was a great pumpkin. Also because he did what he wanted to do. Even if he was all alone and didnt get to go trick or treating, he still stood up for what he believed in and wanted to do. He believed in the Great Pumpkin, and none of the other kids could change what he believed in. So i think he was the most transcendental.
