Analysis Of Our Life Is Frittered Away, By Henry David Thoreau

Because Thoreau uses the word frittered it emphasizes living life simply. Because Thoreau writes simplicity multiple times it signifies repetition. Because Thoreau gives alternatives to make life more simple he helps to backup his claim.

Therefore this is probably how Thoreau lives his life.

The fact that would defend my assertion would be from personal experience because in order to change how you live your life or for someone to tell you what to do differently with your life you have to do that yourself. You can't change by just reading books or studying the way to life. Also from your own personal experience you can determine if yo need to stop stressing over life so much and to stop worrying. “Our life is frittered away by detail…
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary eat but one:instead of a hundred dishes, five: and reduce other things in proportion”. Thoreau believes to basically not live by the status quo and to branch out and do something different than what you are expected to do. Also it shows that Thoreau believes to not focus on the details in life so much and to just simplify your life.
