He says, "I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion". Though the belief is about unity, Thoreau tends to focus more on the individual. As a transcendentalist Thoreau sees the different qualities of each person but the main focus is placed on Thoreau. ]]> 2017-04-18 20:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kmey0242/btfhsih9522c/wish/166877159 Form- Tone kmey0242 https://padlet.com/kmey0242/btfhsih9522c/wish/166877504 "you quietly submit to a thousand similar necessities.
