English III - 4/13 Homework

Tonight you have a bit of Transcendental reading to do. Please read pages 193-198 from Thoreau's Walden. I want you to just read the sections titled "Economy," "Where I Lived and What I Lived For," and "Solitude."

As you read this selection, take notes on the following ideas:

1. How is Thoreau putting Emerson's preaching into practice? Note specific details.
2. Keep track of the metaphors in "Where I Lived..." - Thoreau compares people and society to a lot of things. Keep track of the metaphors and their meaning.

See you tomorrow!
