Message: from Polson High School Michael L. Umphrey website Seminar questions from student blogs    from the "looping" exercise By Michael L Umphrey Period 2: Why was Thoreau so judgmental about the people that surrounded him? In the class discussion I would like to learn what made Thoreau want to simplify his life and other people’s lives. Why did Thoreau exclude himself from the world for such a long period of time? I think that tomorrow we should talk about why civil disobedience is wrong. Why did Thoreau go and live in the woods? Why didn’t Thoreau take advantage of his literary abilities and education in a normal way? What made Thoreau want to return to civilization? I would like to know why Thoreau thought life was too complicated.
