On the contrary, Selfdisciplined, brave, innovation, independent were not appreciated fully. People think that something was done by the majority is the best choice and everything going to runs well. In order to get approval, the individual is willing to abandon, with intelligence for the sense of belonging that let a person feel After graduated from University, We should have made ourselves a legend when we were young .But we choose to associate with desire and sniff the stink of money.

Travel them, and be Expert in the author want to tell us one thing through this poem, which is pared with continents and oceans in the spirit world ,the progress from industrial revolution is a drop in the bucket. It is hard to plete the chart in your deep heart and to fill these blanks also need a long time. Of course, there have more poem in the book that you could taste them when reading . Besides these poem, we could find so many Greek mythology in the book. Such as Heracles the son of Zeus, Deucalion the creator, Muse the arts of goddess... and more within the Bible. It is strange that Thoreau didn`t discuss the religion into book although he was a convinced Christian. Perhaps“ The most profound truth in the human experience cannot be passed directly from person to person” `s journey of life is also a pilgrimage ,and his Walden is the report of pilgrimage 14. Additional Remarks For a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.(Walden) As I found this word in Chapter two Where I lived ,and what I lived for, it dawned on me that the true wisdom is give and get. I just can`t help wondering what is the meaning of Walden spirit ? Or what is Thoreau really want to tell us by this book ? Sometimes it is simple, but sometimes it is not .Thoreau dared to lay down the normal life without any strings so that he could see the truth we can`t see, hear the voice from god we can`t hear. Why should we knock under and go with the stream? Let us not be upset 11 and overwhelmed in that terrible rapid and whirlpool called a dinner, situated in the meridian shallows.(Walden) This is the core of Walden spirit .Gone with the wind my friend ,follow your heart and intuition own . You have to pay at the outset ,then you gain. Literally, the whole chapter two is a statement from Thoreau. I discuss this chapter in a separate because it is a connecting like between the preceding and the following like a elder always say something widely awake before his fancy story. 12 13 Chapter Three The influence The pros and cons The book Walden has a powerful impact on the human history no matter in the 19th century or today. Whoever really takes some time for reading will definitely benefit. We have to discuss the pros and cons because a good book or theory always have support and oppose. As a supporter I prefer to look at the problem of dialectical all the time like I said before. I believe it can help us to be a better understanding of his work. The two point which reflected in the book has caught people`s universal thinking. The first one is the relationship between human and nature. Thoreau saw a lot of potential pitfall that is disafforestation ,water and soil loss and the contempt of natural under the industrial civilization development. Human doesn`t respect the nature, they have no idea when it would pay back. In 100 years after the book , they all became a reality. London smog incident, Los Angeles photochemical smog episode, Donora incident15... tens of thousands of people was killed by these accidents, who would be the next ? The second point is the relationship between people and society. Thoreau had distinguished himself as a recluse in some degree. Noise and fickleness society was bad for our mind and body development , an independent person needs a clear mind to think and grow. People has already fotten the way to judge the truth or false ,independent thinking and the voice of protest have been mute. Fraud and fallacy e to the mainstream and make them sleepwalk through their life. How 14 pathetic! What is society ? Society is a name of people getting together.
