Henry David Thoreau

BellringerHow is the following similar to the views expressed by Emerson?

“Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life? We are determined to be starved before we are hungry.” ~ Thoreau

Recap: We continued our exploration of transcendentalism with Henry David Thoreau, the predecessor and friend of Emerson. His beliefs are very similar to Emerson's, only he puts his writing into a language that is more accessible.

Please read his biography from the World Wide Walden's site, and then to page 375 in your textbook from "Walden."

For tomorrow, remember to wear appropriate footwear. We will be going outside.

Have a nice evening!
