Today’s Agenda Review vocabulary Review Walden Excerpt from Into the Wild Watch Into the Wild

Walden “Where I Lived and What I Lived For” The best way to live is deliberately “I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life” (383). Get rid of the unnecessary in order to understand the essential “We are determined to be starved before we are hungry” (384). Thoreau wants to live simply and escape the complications of civilized society.

“Solitude” “I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself” (386). “What sort of space is that which separates a man from his fellow and makes him solitary?” (387). Thoreau feels as though he a part of Nature and understands the connection he shares with all living things.

“The Pond in Winter” “Like the marmots in the surrounding hills, it closes its eye-lids and becomes dormant for three months or more” (387) “Heaven is under our feet as over our heads” (387). Thoreau learns that life goes on beneath the ice—the fish are not disturbed by the storms of winter, and Thoreau sees this as a model of heavenly bliss.

“Spring” “One attraction in coming to the woods to live was that I should have leisure and opportunity to see the spring come in” (388). “The change from storm and winter to serene and mild weather... Is a memorable crisis which all things proclaim” (388). Thoreau finds beauty in all seasons—the thawing in the spring gives him the opportunity to study nature’s beauties and gain new insights.

“Conclusion” Accept the life that you have and make the most of it no matter what others (or you) may think “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away” (390). Renewal and rebirth is a constant possibility in life “Who knows what beautiful winged life... may unexpectedly come forth from amidst society’s most trivial and handselled furniture to enjoy its perfect summer at least!” (391). There is always more life to live—do not get stuck in a rut.
