Why did Thoreau move to Walden?
- Cultivate through
- "To know" beans
- Connect with nature
- To find peace an quiet to write his book about his brother that died
- To use only the necessities that was a simple lifestyle.
What was his life like there?
- The industrialization was happening behind his cabin, which was a train.
- More difficult to thrive because he has to do
What did Thoreau criticized in modern life?
- The industrialization behind him constantly reminded him of how the world is consuming and not appreciating the world
- The wave of change economically
- He would rather walk than go on a train. You see things, but if you were walking, then you'd take in the scenery more and appreciate it more.
Do you agree or disagree with his critique?
- I sort of do because over the few centuries, the world has grown and consumed a lot of resources and this changes the economy. Either going up or down.
