If so , what would be the hardest thing to give up ?]]> 2016-11-17 16:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138468521 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138471397 "For what reason have I this vast range and circuit, some square miles of unfrequented forest, for my privacy, abandoned to me by men?" (pg 212). What does Thoreau mean by this quote? ]]> 2016-11-17 16:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138471397 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138473464 I think that the general population is just awake to pass over everyday to get it over with. There are only a select few that are actually awake and willing to live their life to the fullest. ]]> 2016-11-17 16:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138473464 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138477751 Do you think there should be a safe medium between commitment and total nonconformity or that everyone should be completely nonconformed?]]> 2016-11-17 16:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138477751 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138479485 Do you think that it is truly neccesary to follow Thoreau's aspirations of nonconformity or that it is just 'knit picking' how we live out our lives? Why?]]> 2016-11-17 17:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138479485 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138480338 Probably not, it would feel like a lot of struggle for a philosophy that is already so clear to me]]> 2016-11-17 17:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138480338 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138511876 I also agree. I wouldn't want to do that because I like living in a house with running water and electricity. ]]> 2016-11-17 18:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138511876 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138573052 definitelyYes, he does believe people are lost in the moment. He encourages everybody subtly buy explaining how wonderful it is to be apart from society and actually "live life"]]> 2016-11-17 21:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138573052 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138573743 I believe he had thought about this sporadically because if an event had happened in his life he would most likely try to fix the situation instead of running. So I think he suddenly realised that he needed to get away.]]> 2016-11-17 21:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138573743 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138575610 2016-11-17 21:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138575610 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138575662 What Thoreau meant by that quote was to question why he was in the woods, with no one  around. He wants us to think ourselves why WE, ourselves would want to take on the challenge of getting away from society.]]> 2016-11-17 21:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138575662 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138576140 I do not believe it is truly necessary to do what Walden has done. I believe we should consider what we have become obsessed with in our lives, and cut out them and the luxuries, however if someone wants to go to extremes, they can do what he did. ]]> 2016-11-17 21:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138576140 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138577091 I would actually consider what he has done because society does need to learn how to live life and give up luxuries. The hardest thing to give up would probably be all of my electronics. They make my life so much easier!!]]> 2016-11-17 22:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138577091 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138577406 "Sometimes, when I compare myself with other men, it seems as if I were more favored by the Gods than they..."

Why wouldn't he just live in a house with no luxuries?]]> 2016-11-17 22:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138577868 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138578127 Do you think Walden had an issue with money? Is that why he chose solitude with no luxuries?]]> 2016-11-17 22:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138578127 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138586574 Why did Walden believe in such a minimalist lifestyle? ]]> 2016-11-17 23:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138586574 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138586621 On page 272, Walden states "I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path and felt a strange thrill of savage and was strongly tempted to seize and devour him raw not that I was hungry then except for that wildness which he represented" do you think living with essentially nothing caused Walden such boredom that he possessed thoughts like these?]]> 2016-11-17 23:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138586621 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138586792 Why do you think Walden doesn't have pity on the worms/fish that he sees? ]]> 2016-11-17 23:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138586792 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138589123 I think Thoreau wrote this to try to get into people's minds. He wants them to see what society has become and how they're so blind to it]]> 2016-11-17 23:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138589123 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138589354 Thoreau means that the other men and women of the world have been "less focused on". In other words, he is saying that everybody else is below him and his life is much better than the other's]]> 2016-11-17 23:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138589354 https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138589465 I think Thoreau wanted people to go out and smell the roses like him. He doesn't want his life to be full of stress and sadness, so he minimizes his amount of stress by only focusing on what is important and to exceed his needs rather than his wants]]> 2016-11-17 23:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorgan15/dmp4w68c7lsv/wish/138589465
