Thoreau's Walden

1. Why did Thoreau move to Walden?

He wanted to show people that you can get things that are closer to home. He wanted to test the ideas of transcendentalism. To find peace and quiet so he could write a book about his brother who had passed away.

2. What was his life like there?

He grew beans and lived in a cabin. His cabin was by the water but not to close. Thoreau had a simple life when he lived in Walden. He documented his surroundings.

3. What did Thoreau criticize in modern life?

He didn't like that the people were becoming more advanced, he thought that the people should live a simple life.

4. Do you agree or disagree with his critique?

I disagree with Thoreau because I think its good that we were advancing with new machines and technology. It has made us what we are today.
