We are reading excerpts from Walden. As we proceed line by line, Will's face lights up with understanding. "Men work in order to make money and buy things which moths and rust will corrupt and thieves break through and steal. It is a fool's life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before. Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Will was able to interpret and summarize this line admirably, AND relate it to Economics AND reflect on its meaning for him personally. This is so exciting! GREAT JOB, Will! No homework; we are working line by line together.
