Make a discussion to Instructor's Statement: The life of Henry David Thoreau is New England's example of the early 19th century American yearning for reform and opposition to a growing industrializing America. What would later be categorized as the American intellectual "Renaissance", Thoreau's writing was a foundation of transcedentalism, along with the works of other authors such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller and Herman Melville. However, one can also argue that Thoreau, like his fellow writers, were also traitors to the American cause and mission, not willing to support either their local or national authorities. The idea of Walden Pond is a utopian ideal of societal ignorance, a retreat into a mental or political hermitage that benefits no American society of any age or generation, whether in 1849 or 2020.
