Walden Discussion Questions
Would you like to live in a cabin in the woods as Thoreau did?
What does Thoreau advise people to do so that their lives will not be "frittered away by detail?"
What is Thoreau's advise to the poor?
What do you think is the most valuable lesson that Thoreau learned from his experience of living in the woods?
Thoreau is fond of paradoxes, statements that seem to contradict themselves but are nevertheless true. For example, he writes, "I did not wish to live what was not life" and "We are determined to be starved before we are hungry." Tell what you think he means by each of these statements. What other paradoxes can you find in these excerpts?
