    • 3 Pages

    “Why I Went to the Woods” by Henry David Thoreau is such an intriguing piece of literature due to the fact that there are many hidden metaphors within its content. The book is mainly about a man who was in search to purchase a farm and unfortunately at the end the deal was broken off. He soon realized that perhaps this was for the best‚ seeing how he wanted more than what he really needed in his life.
