I think that you might want to talk about the Boston massacre

Although I cannot provide a whole essay here, I can give you ideas on how to develop one about transcendentalist works and views:

  1. You can use two famous works by Henry David Thoreau, "Walden" and "On Civil Disobedience."
  2. Both works are transcendentalist because they explore the idea of self-reliance, independence, and skepticism toward institutions.
  3. First, focus on how "Walden" focuses on self-reliance. The author leaves everything behind, builds himself a cabin by Lake Walden, and supports himself by growing crops and fishing.
  4. The, explain how "On Civil Disobedience" was written when the author was arrested for not paying his taxes. This text is about the corruption of social and government institutions.
  5. Conclude by again stating how both works are representative of Transcendentalism.

When writing an essay, it is important to keep a few things in mind:

  • First, be sure to give it an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.
  • The introduction is where you tell your readers what you are going to talk about. In this case, let them know you will analyze the two texts by Thoreau.
  • The body is where you present the information, the evidence. Here, you are going to write at least two paragraphs, one for each text, explaining how they show Transcendentalist qualities.
  • Finally, the conclusion restates what was said in the introduction and the body, but in fewer words. It is supposed to wrap up your work neatly.
