Simplicity! Simplicity! Simplicity!

What would Henry David Thoreau say to Edmunson, do you think? I love the juxtaposition of these two essays read one right after the other. I know its not "cool" to espress my love for and strong response to anything in the academic realm, so I admit to being pretty uncool in that way. Ideas still excite me, and I am pretty enthusiastic a la Joon Ye!

Today's class:


  • Silent reading of Thoreau's essay on page 276 of your textbook.

  • Journal response to questions on Edmunson's essay.

  • Group discussions of the questions and some of the ideas that struck a chord with you.

Homework: Finish the journal questions, if you have not done so. Finish a close reading of Thoreau.


Enjoy the weekend!
