Mid Term

Title: WALKING

Author: Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

Thesis: wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization.

Do you think the introduction was effective? Why? Yes the introduction was effective, because it got straight to the point.

What technique did the author use to conclude the essay? I DON'T KNOW

Discuss the conclusion: The days are sweet and the nights are young. Everyone is waiting for this day to come, when the air is fresh and the sun is shinning so bright. Everybody wants to reach the holy land. A place where there are no crimes a peaceful pace. I would love to go to that place too. So we saunter toward the Holy Land, till one day the sun shall shine more brightly than ever he has done, shall perchance shine into our minds and hearts, and light up our whole lives with a great awakening light, as warm and serene and golden as on a bank-side in autumn.
