    THOREAU’S LIFE AT WALDEN POND In late March 1845 Thoreau went to Walden Pond‚ a sixty-two acre body of water a few miles from his parents’ home in Concord‚ Massachusetts‚ and selected a spot to build a house. The site he picked was on land belonging to his close friend Ralph Waldo Emerson; he and Emerson had already discussed Thoreau’s plan to live on the land which Emerson had recently purchased. By July 4 of that same year‚ the house was substantially complete and Thoreau moved to the pond.

    The main thesis of “Walden; or‚ Life in the Woods” by Henry David Thoreau‚ is that people do not need a life of luxury to survive‚ all they need is the necessities. Personally‚ what “Walden; or‚ Life in the Woods‚” by Henry David Thoreau‚ has to do with me is that I rent my home because I cannot afford to buy a house. In “Walden; or‚ Life in the Woods‚” Thoreau explains to his fellow New Englanders that they appear to be “doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways.” He is talking about the way

    Evaluation of View on Wilderness) One of America’s greatest and most well known transcendentalist and environmental thinkers had varying opinions on the wild‚ nature‚ and wilderness.

    AT A CERTAIN season of our life we are accustomed to consider every spot as the possible site of a house. I have thus surveyed the country on every side within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms in succession‚ for all were to be bought‚ and I knew their price.
