What Happened To Henry David Thoreau's Cost?

Decent Essays
I believe that Henry David Thoreau was correct in saying, "The price of anything is the amount of time you exchange for it." Something's cost can often be determined by how long it took to make or recieve it. The job industry proves this. For example, a businesswoman who spends more time at her office will earn more money than her equal counterpart who is not working at the office nearly as much. That is because, as the popular saying goes, "Time is money."

We also often hear the phrase "investing time." These two words can be put into a variety of contexts, from "investing time into your work" to "investing time in yourself." But the word "invest" connotes "money." When we say we are "investing time," we are also investing money,

    Thoreau calls for simplicity, imploring the people to live as simple as they can. He believes that a life with “two or three” affairs is much better than a life with “a hundred or a thousand.” Thoreau understood our need for advancement when he said, “Men think that it is essential that the Nation have commerce, and export ice, and talk through a telegraph, and ride thirty miles an hour, without a doubt, whether they do or not.” We are constantly trying to improve and do the next best thing instead of spending the day unhurried and with purpose. “Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life?”…

    Though they lived centuries apart from one another, Christopher McCandless and Henry David Thoreau both uncovered the importance of living simplistically by retreating to the woods. When Thoreau first arrived at the house that he was to be staying at by Walden Pond, the first thing he noted was that the house was quite dilapidated. The walls were stained by the weather and had quite a few holes in them, causing the nights to be cold. The house also had no plastering nor a chimney, and the entire structure was only defensive against the rain. Despite these relatively unfavorable living conditions, however, Thoreau saw the experience as one to prove that people too lavish of lives to be genuinely happy.…

    Henry David Thoreau, an American philospher and naturalist once stated that "The price of anything is the amount of time you exchange for it. " I have to say that I agree with Thoreau's statement and I have proof to show you why. Let's take the work enviroment for example. If you have a job where you get paid by the hour, you can get paid for doing overtime. Depending on how much extra time you put in, the cost measures.…

    In contrast, Thoreau was much more mature, and he was aware of his limitations. He was not impulsive about his journey, and his house and lifestyle were well thought out. First of all, the purpose of Thoreau’s mission is in general different from Chris’s. Chris’s was an extreme test of his survival while Thoreau’s mission was a philosophical journey. All in all, Thoreau did not wish to expose himself to the elements to a severe extent.…

    The ideas and the moral views seen among Thoreau and King differed mainly because of the timeline in which the essay and the letter was wrote. Thoreau lived during a time when negotiation was non-existent that is he met the government ,”I meet this American government, or its representative, the State government, directly, and face to face, once a year- no more- in the person of its tax-gatherer..” (Thoreau). But on the other hand the King had the capability to gather groups and strength themselves which did not have any violence this led to increased their success in the Civil rights movement.

    1.) Thoreau’s journals, within “American Earth” by Al Gore, consolidates numerous themes and materials revolving around environmental writings. Sequentially he starts out contemplating that even after one dies they will live on through nature. He then continues to elaborate on the beauty of nature and how humans take it for granted. This is evident when he’s describing men that have grown ignorant to sounds of nature, “silence audible,” as he calls it.…

    The simplest form in the world is illustrated as black and white, and while I often get caught in the gray my confabulation with Henry David Thoreau that day drowned me in the idea of the value of simplicity and its exceptional greatness. It was a shallow afternoon and the sun was hanging deeply in the sky, and because of my blissful ignorance, I wandered off into a place where peacefulness was a foundation of life. Walden Pond was the name, and a generous breeze devoured my body as night fell. I then, stumbled upon a man with an empowering presence. He introduced himself as Henry David Thoreau, a writer, a philosopher and better known as naturalist.…

    Throughout history, there have been individuals and forms of government lacking a moral conscience, and this will most likely continue to occur. Many argue that this is merely a facet of human nature - we, as human beings, are inherently greedy and corrupt. However, there are those who contrast sharply with this view, crying out against the wrongdoings of certain powers, pushing for change and reform. Henry David Thoreau is a prime example of these individuals. Using personification, forthright and cynical diction, and rhetorical questions, Thoreau criticizes the American government, and certain aspects of society in “Civil Disobedience” and the inability of individuals to reach their true potential in “Walden”.…

    Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “In the long run, there is nothing more liberating, no more exhilarating than to determine one's position, state it bravely, and then act boldly.” Thoreau was the finest example of this quote. He refused to pay a poll tax for which he thought funded the Mexican war, and for that he was made to stay the night in jail; however, it was entirely unimaginable that it would have been such a liberating and enlightening experience for him. Thoreau’s experience utterly liberated himself from his own ignorance when he was made to witness first hand the true care given in jail, to absorb the beauty of his home, and to see his neighbors and their actions through a new perspective.…

    When Patricia mentions that the price for the paring knife is ‘steep’ and asks her father why he doesn’t look elsewhere, he replies ‘I have no doubt at all that if I spent the rest of the day shopping for paring knives, I’d probably find a much lower price than this one. But you’ve got to consider the value of time’. In economics, time can be one of the greatest costs. If time is limited, you need to ensure that it is used wisely and efficiently, which requires good time management skills. When Patricia opposes to this and questions why he would spend more than one day shopping for a car, Henry explains that shopping around for a car would result in saving a significant amount of money, whereas sacrificing time to shop around for a paring knife would be time deficiently spent as the final price would only save him a matter of dollars.…

    Henry David Thoreau, an unconventional Romantic writer, uses his experience at Walden Pond to decipher the significant elements of life. Through his time spent in solitude, he ponders upon personal development and wishes to “live deliberately” and simply. Thoreau’s idea of living simply and reflecting on the important things in life allows him to realize that society is filled with a myriad of detrimental matters, including the prominent materialistic mindset, unnecessary distractions including technology, and a lack of simplicity. In “Where I Lived, And What I Lived For”, Henry David Thoreau effectively uses diction to emphasize the negative aspects of materialism, efficiently uses anecdotes and rhetorical questions to analyze the negative…
