Tuesday, December 16

We continued our close reading of the excerpts in our textbook from Thoreau's Walden, or Life in the Woods.

HW due Wednesday:
Finish reading the selections fron Walden (pp. 234-244), and write one two-chunk paragraph explaining either
(a) Thoreau's statement (p. 237), "We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us."
or
(b) The Battle of the Ants (pp. 240-241). What are we to take from this account?
