experiences at Walden Pond. With Walden in mind‚ I would ask Thoreau: Should man take a road to experience nature’s beauty as he did. What are his thought on how people confront their individual unity with nature‚ despite the overuse of technology‚ as he did with his experience at Walden Pond. Thoreau was able to understand nature’s ways through patient‚ frequent‚ careful‚ observations of his surroundings. He wants people to live life with simplicity‚ and he found his simplicity at Walden Pond. Thoreau suggests

is very apparent in this entry from Walden‚ a book that I have read many times‚ “That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest”. Thoreau’s two years that he spent at Walden Pond are rooted in this sentiment‚ and I couldn’t agree more. Thoreau starts off by explaining his two-year project at Walden Pond‚ near Concord‚ Massachusetts. He says he lived there for two years and two months‚ and then moved back to “civilized society” but only as an experiment in living. He believed that everyone

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. I walked over each farmer’s premises‚ tasted his wild apples‚ discoursed on husbandry with him‚ took his farm at his price‚ at any price‚ mortgaging it to him in my mind; even put a higher price on it

with every change in time. The foremost reactions toward Henry David Thoreau occurred when he went to live on his own at Walden Pond.

Conferred because in theory‚ perhaps they could label it a spiritual democracy. Yet‚ looking at the historical events of the
