Essay test tomorrow over the following prompt

The Romantic writers of early American literature valued the individual self highly, but saw individual people be diminished by things like society, nature, or even mental constraints. Considering this, how do forces like society or nature guide the self-actualization of human beings?

In a multi-paragraph response write an informative essay responding to the prompt above.
Must contain an introductory paragraph, at least one supporting paragraph, and a brief conclusion.
You must use at least one refeerence quote from “The Yellow Wallpaper,” “Why I Wrote ‘The Yellow Wallpaper,’” “Self-Reliance,” or “Civil Disobedience” to support your idea.
