Through nature, Thoreau attempts to bring meaning of life through the simplicity found within his environment around Walden Pond.
Techniques to make claim: Repetition/Word Choice--
Repetition is prevalent throughout Thoreau’s writing. Repetition of words allows for a concentration on central themes throughout the readings. It also allows for Thoreau to state his ideas and claims to his audience and allows them to reflect on what he was saying through his tone.
Examples:
p. 19 (life)--- The meaning of life to him and allows readers to connect with his experience.
p.20 (simplicity)--- Through the use of simplicity, Thoreau makes it known that man should live as nature does through only using what we need.
