Thoreau was really wise when speaking this words. It is far more rigorous to learn by living through situations, because there is certainty in experience.

"Now days there is access to millions and billions of archives that informs the public about daily situations, and gives advice in how to approach problems and dilemmas in a more effective way. Before all this, it was necessary …show more content…

Having to bare the awful taste of salty eggs was my pain, but one learns and avoids making that mistake again. "You are compelled to deal with the material which yields the most sugar and the most starch." The material being your skill, the sugar being your emotional well being, and the starch the physical benefits. Now there is no need to brace myself for a surprise, I can simply look up any dish and follow instructions to make a good meal.

There are times when having everything resolved with a simple touch of a finger becomes a burden. Humans are always on the verge of conformation, and having such an easy way to access information makes them careless and lazy. Accomplishments have become insignificant because there is a solution for almost everything online.
Thoreau made a sage remark about the importance of living and residing in constant learning when he said, "It is life near the bone where it is sweetest," asserting that life tastes better when there is a struggle in reaching a destination.

Essentially, Otto is saying that in order to grow as a person and become educated, one must break free from what bring him or her comfort, which allows him or her to be daring and adventurous.

McCandless believes that once people find a way to break free from the default and comfortable setting that so many of us function on, are we able to discover our adventurous

  • Why Should We Knock Under And Go With The Stream Analysis

    575 Words  | 2 Pages

    We often focus on the unimportant and minor details of life. Rather than just going on about life peacefully, we tend to complicate things for ourselves by never being satisfied. Throughout the story, Thoreau uses rhetorical questions as a literary device. He questions the actions of those who surround him by asking, “Why should we knock under and go with the stream?” This is similar to asking, “Why make things harder for yourself when you can just go with the flow?” He asks, “Why should we live with such a hurry and waste of life?” This question is straightforward, simply meaning; we often tend to rush life without completely living it. Instead, we should rather pace ourselves and enjoy every present moment before it’s gone.

    How people see one another vary in numerous ways, whether it be from actions or what is gathered through spoken conversations. When an intellectual meets someone for the first time, they tend to judge by appearance before they judge by how the person express their thoughts or ideas. In Thoreau’s excerpt, he emphasizes the importance of his philosophy, especially by making sure the reader is aware of his own feelings about it. He puts literary devices such as metaphors, personification, and imagery to construct his explanation for his philosophy as well as provide several attitudes to let the reader identify how he feels towards people and the value of their ideas.

  • Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson And Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience?

    The difference between a rock and a human truly just comes down to a few different variations of carbon molecules. Yet this straightforward science ignores why humans, in all of their complexity, stem from such a random happenstance. Only knowing this science of life has not necessarily led to understanding its meaning. For that answer, famed transcendentalists Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau look within the self, rather than in a laboratory. In his essay, Self-Reliance, Emerson hypothesizes the meaning to be in independence; whereas, Thoreau, from his nature experience in Walden, theorizes it to be in simplicity. At the least, Thoreau finds it in a life without an intrusive government, which is the reason he pens Civil Disobedience.
