Transcendentalism: Origins, Characteristics, and Impact

Walden Poster Assignment due Thursday after Thanksgiving

THANKSGIVING BASKET
We will be putting together a basket this season for a struggling family.
Please consider what it would be like to not have enough money to put together a decent meal, let alone a Thanksgiving feast (I usually spend about $200 on Thanksgiving, for example--not cheap).

Homework:
Read pages 31-53 in the Dover Thrift edition, if  you check it out. (Up to the point where Thoreau lists the expenses for building his house.) That's the end of "Economy"
I would recommend reading the online annotated text, however.
Walden online text
Homework Monday: Read pages 54-64
Remember, your assignment is to collect 25 significant quotes from your reading along with page numbers. If you're using the online text, simply copy quotes and paste them into a document that you can print. Rather than using page numbers, you will cite your quotes by section and paragraph number. (e.g. Economy, 1C, 16). Usually by the end of page 53 most students have collected approximately 15 quotes.
