Have you ever woke up in the morning and asked yourself, “Why am I living this life?” Throughout the book of Walden, Henry David Thoreau questions the lifestyles that people choose; he makes his readers wonder if they have chosen the kind of lifestyle that give them the greatest amount of happiness. Thoreau stated, “Most men, even in this comparatively free country, through mere ignorance and mistake, are so occupied with the factitious cares and superfluously coarse labors of life that its finer fruits cannot be plucked by them().” This quote is important because most of society these days are so caught up in work and trying to make ends meet that they lose the values in life.

On Thoreau’s journey he moves to Walden and builds a house and life from nothing but hard work, symbolizes many different objects.

    Thoreau distinguishes what he wishes his life was; he compares what he wants out of life to what he currently has. He says “I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary.” He makes note of how dear and important life is, and how he wishes to live in a way which he hadn’t been before, by making the most out of the life he has left.

    Thoreau believed that labor was not only the activity that could bring material profits, but also a play which made man complete and developed simultaneously” (Ma 384). Thoreau's work was experiencing nature and living transcendentally in order to share the quality of life that nature provides. We see Thoreau in many aspects of today’s society, whether it’s Lisa from The Simpsons, a means of transportation, or political protests, they all follow a Thoreauvian idea of looking at the bigger picture and seeing what really matters. This way of thinking was created because one man decided that society was too mainstream and he moved off to the edge of town and reflected; people these days that do that are referred to as “hipsters” but the influence had to come from somewhere, and that was Henry David Thoreau.

    Although we might think we’d have it all, if and when we have it all, Henry David Thoreau and Herman Hesse’s readings show how we don’t have anything until we have next to nothing. A test of perceived happiness versus real happiness was done to the main characters in both readings. The naturally complacent way through life for these two was obviously one that was chosen for them but rich (either by society or by parents). Instead of taking the wealthier and “more fulfilling” ways of life plus short term benefits, they chose to question what they were given and yet somehow stay appreciative. Through doing so, they benefited with skills from endeavors that you, or me the “civilized” could have never accomplished – even with modern technology.

    In Thoreau’s Where I Lived and What I Lived For, he talks about planning where one lives in society and eventually leaving behind items that may inhabited a place before moving to that land which is why “A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone” (53). The fewer objects blocking one and his/her independent thought, the happier they are. One should know that objects don’t associate with happiness, but what one defines happiness is about how one feels about themselves and society, which means that the person should believe anything they do not want to believe, without the interference of society to change that. One must know that these objects can make an impact on a person, which can possibly change their perspective on life, which does not necessarily mean that one will be

    Thoreau seemed to feel that with solitude one could understand the beauty of living in a ‘natural state’. Concerning the way we live, that is ‘unadulterated and uncontaminated by modern society and the complexities of modern life’(Mateusek). Thoreau’s experience with solitude gives the example that in society we are often too distracted with the fast paced and ‘short intervals’ (1052) of life that we do not stop to appreciate the life around us and develop individual perspectives outside of the societal conformities that society has

    However, Thoreau doesn’t propose a lifestyle, he proposes change in ones mindset. “It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look” (Thoreau 1101). To live a simple life we just need to readjust our eyes and mind onto greater thinking and realize that we governor what will become of our lives for the individual benefit in realization of what is of importance in our

  • Thoreau's Influence On Modern American Life

    812 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Thoreau departed for his believed to be two week sabbatical from society he lived in a log cabin in the woods where he hoped to find freedom. Thoreau was first unimpressed by his new dwelling in the woods until he found relaxation in the upcoming spring season and as he said in Walden “One attraction in coming to the woods to live was that I should have leisure and opportunity so see the spring come in. The ice in the pond at length begins to be honey-combed, and I can set my heel in it as I walk” (Thoreau 385). What Thoreau looked at for comfort in his time, would today be taken granted for today as the comings and goings of the seasons would mean little to nothing for modern people. It is very difficult to believe that modern humans would find any kind of luxury by simply going to a log cabin and living there. As La Ferle said in his excerpt “It occurred to me that things were vastly different for Thoreau. The comforts of life in the 1840’s were not exactly cushy by today’s standards”(La Ferle 389). La Ferle’s quote is significant because it draws another difference between the comfortable lifestyle Thoreau would have lived in and what kind of comfortable lifestyle we live in today. The glamour of going to the woods to find peace and relaxation has diminished a lot since Thoreau’s age and due to this a modern human, who probably has been pampered in their lives by the electronics provided by society, wouldn’t be able to be at peace in a secluded place like the woods without one of their cherished electronic

    Henry David Thoreau was born and for most of his life lived in Concord, Massachusetts in 1817. After taking a leave of absence from his studies at Harvard, he was a schoolteacher at Concord public schools in 1837. Yet he resigned weeks later for not administering corporal punishment to his pupils. He went on to work at his brother John’s school for grammar one year later. However, John died in Henry’s arms in 1842 of tetanus. Thoreau returned to Concord and became the protégé of his longtime mentor and neighbor Ralph Waldo Emerson, a New England Transcendentalist, who was a paternal figure for Thoreau; he pushed him to get his essays published. Emerson even let Thoreau build a small cabin on his property at Walden Pond in 1845. This is where Thoreau documented his story in Walden. In the excerpt entitled, “Where I Lived and What I Lived for,” Thoreau expressed his Transcendentalist opinions and views. He relayed why he lived like this, leading a simple lifestyle and being happy is plausible, and that li...

  • Analysis Of 'Why I Went To The Woods' By Henry David Thoreau

    1404 Words  | 3 Pages

    The main element of “Why I Went to the Woods” is nature and to live without distractions. In order for Thoreau to be able to do this, he went into the woods to be one with nature to make sure he was not missing what was really important. Thoreau presents his point by stating, “I wanted to live deep and suck out the marrow of life, to live so sturdily” (Thoreau 579). Thoreau wanted to live deep within nature, to take in all nature has to offer, and to get a deeper understanding of his own life. We all have an opportunity to have the same tranquility as Thoreau. Nature is one of the greatest gifts that is given to us freely. We could all have a deeper fulfillment by consuming the same peacefulness in our own mind and souls that Thoreau had. The society we live in today is complex and very dependent, opposite of the life that Thoreau had wanted to live. You do not need to have material items to have a fulfilled life, but a fulfilled spirit. We as a society have become greedy and selfish

  • The Influence Of Thoreau On Personal Life

    431 Words  | 1 Pages

    I can apply the message Thoreau is portraying in my personal life in many ways. Thoreau states that everyone has a different role in life. Their own talents, aspirations, morals, and intentions; essentially they hear their own music. One can not compare themselves or to others, as they lead a different life. We constantly try to rush everything in order to beat others, or in fear of being beaten. But Thoreau makes it clear that this comparison means nothing. If your goal in life is a longer path than others, it does not mean that you will be less happy or that you need to change it. What makes you happy should not have to be the same as others in society; as everyone is different. By conforming into roles society has made, you will be living
