HOMEWORK: Due Tomorrow- ELA section practice. Handout in class.
In class: we are in the third floor lab, working on the following, which is due at the end of class.
Choose two of the following excerpts from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and explain what they mean in terms of his pragmatic and /or philosophy of life. You must specifically reference the reading.
1. A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
2. Olympus is the outside of the earth everywhere.
3. There are none happier in the world but beings who enjoy freely a vast horizon.
4. We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake…by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep.
5. Simplify, simplify.
6. If you stand right fronting and face to face with a fact, you will see the sun glimmer on both its surfaces…and feel its sweet edge dividing you through the heart and marrow.
