Henry David Thoreau Thoreau  On Walden

 From Economy

The House  Thoreau described the shanty he bought to be, “of small dimensions, with a peaked cottage roof… the dirt being raised five feet all around as if it were a compost heap. The roof was the soundest part [though] warped and brittle.” (pg 234)

From Where I Lived and What I lived For  Take 5 minutes and write about: –What Thoreau is saying –What you think about it. How does your idea of living “deliberately” differ?

Simplify Simplify Simplify “Our life is flittered away by detail.” What references to simplicity did you find for homework?

From Solitude  Men frequently said to Thoreau, “I should think you would feel lonesome down there, and want to be nearer to folks…”
