    Henry David Thoreau Essay There are so many things that we can learn from Henry David Thoreau’s essay “Why I Went into the Woods” from Walden.

    In their work on self-reliance‚ Socrates and Emerson similarly reference this idea and how standing up for one’s own beliefs will impact others. Socrates’ charges brought against him by accusers such as Meletus and Anytus are punishable by death‚ though he defends his lifestyle instead of his life. He refuses to surrender his original ideas and defends philosophy without changing his views even with the impending death sentence. In the same way‚ Emerson’s theme of self-reliance dictates that everyone
