ESSAY ON: Thoreau/"Where I Lived & What I Lived For"

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page essay that analyzes the second chapter of Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Entitled "Where I lived and What I Lived For," in this chapter, Thoreau offers a deeply philosophical orientation towards life that rejects materialism and argues eloquently for a life lived on one's own terms, rather than the terms dictated by society. Demonstrating the influence of Ralph Waldo Emerson on his thinking, Thoreau presents a perspective on reality that is predicated on individualism and raises that quality to a degree previously unimagined by other transcendentalists. No additional sources cited.
