celebrates nature, beauty, the supernatural and imagination. It idealizes women, children, individual rights and 
rural life, rejects industrialization and social conventions.

 5a Questão 
 
Why was the spirit of Romanticism so appealing to the United States? 
 
 
Because the pioneers, a movement which dated from the establishment of the 13 colonies, supported 
the cultural identification with European values. 
 
Because of the intense focus on the reality of everyday life. 
 
Because it was the canvas for the first wave of communist thoughts. 
 Because it emphasized America's denial of European authority and cultural influence. 
 
Because it gave value to family and religious matters as well as to the cultural knowledge originated 
in France. 
 
Explicação: 
"A continental United States was being formed and its newly found sense of patriotism made the movement 
especially appealing. The spirit of Romanticism was very important to emphasize America ´s denial of 
European authority and cultural influence and in the formation of the American ideals which created the 
Republic. The Romantic Movement was a huge social influence which created not only the myth of pioneering, 
but the pioneer himself. (webaula)"

 6a Questão 
 
What was American Transcendentalism? 
 
Transcendentalism represented a complex response to the colonization of America based on communist 
beliefs. 
 
It was a concept which suggested that getting to know oneself was associated with the afterlife. A man 
could only understand himself after he died. Man should live for the afterlife. 
 
It was a pragmatic philosophy, a kind of religion which believed in life after death and gave emphasis 
to it, even though it didn¿t emphasize the power of God as the center of the universe. 
 It was an important movement in philosophy and literature that flourished during the early to middle 
years of the XIX century and its emphasis was on this life. 
 
It was a movement based on Lock¿s empiricism which adhered to the belief of different Gods and on 
the need of Monarchy as the best kind of government. 
 
Explicação: 
Transcendentalism was a 19th-century movement of writers and philosophers in New England who were 
loosely bound together by adherence to an idealistic system of thought based on a belief in the essential unity 
of all creation, the innate goodness of humanity, and the supremacy of insight over logic and on the life we 
live. (/www.britannica.com)
