 Henry
David Thoreau is an early American philosopher and disciple of Ralph
Waldo Emerson's philosophy of Transcendentalism.
To the right are links to the two Thoreau essays I've assigned. Each essay is
divided into 2 parts; remember to print both parts.
These are lengthy essays, so budget plenty
of time to read them (maybe as much as 4 hours for each). If you find the vocabulary challenging, keep
a dictionary handy!
Remember to number the paragraphs before
you come to class so that we will be able to efficiently refer to places
in the text with a fair amount of ease. "Civil
Disobedience" will have 46 paragraphs.

- "Civil
Disobedience"
- You also can alternatively use this
link to "Civil Disobedience" which has the
paragraphs numbered already. Additionally, you can read
the webbed annotations by clicking on the hyperlinked webtext
that Jessica Gordan has created.
- "Life
Without Principle"
Earlier in
the week, the website for these two essays was quite slow, so be
patient. If your browser takes more than a minute to access the
page, click stop and then refresh. |
