Henry David Thoreau

Her are the soulful slices of Thoreau in our anthology:

• See first page of his Biography:

• See page 597, how did he get through college?

• See page 598, worked closely with Emerson:

• See page 600, legacy of being influential to 20th century social reformers (Let's support Amnesty International here on campus!):

• See page 648, first and second paragraphs (famous stuff!):
• In the first paragraph, what does he mean by sleep and being awakened? What are some examples of mechanical aids?
• In the second paragraph, be sure to put into your own words what this passage means.
