3rd Period Blog - Thursday, January 10, 2008

{summary}

Today in class we discussed parts of Thoreau’s Walden. One discussion brought up during class was what Thoreau was referring to when he told of the battle between the red and black ants. Some students felt that Thoreau was referring to the war taking place at that time period and how each side fights for their needs. We also discussed what Thoreau meant when saying, “Simplify, simplify, simplify.” The thoughts towards this comment were that Thoreau felt that life was too busy and complicated and that people needed to live the most basic life by getting rid of the unnecessary things. We ended class by listening to a reading of the end of Thoreau’s story, The Conclusion.
