what are the circumstances that would force you to be like thoreau

I believe in civil disobedience to help make necessary changes in society. Gandhi used it in India to help gain independence from Britain. Civil rights leaders used it to gain rights for African-Americans. The Vietnam War was protested with civil disobedience.

The question for you is what do you strongly believe is wrong enough that you'd be willing to be civilly disobedient?

This a strange question. If something or someone forced anyone to live alone in the woods, that person still wouldn't be "like Thoreau."

What are your thoughts about this question?

i mean what circumstances?
i really need an answer for that question cause i'm really curious?

I've been to Walden Pond twice, and it's calming and peaceful in those woods. I'd like to spend a couple of weeks alone in such a place.

However, my husband was a writer and nature lover. He spent about half the spring, summer, and fall in a similar cabin in northern Michigan. He greatly admired Thoreau.

no i mean the writer henry david thoreau.

I thought you were referring to Thoreau's Walden.

Ms. Sue already answered your question:

The question for you is what do you strongly believe is wrong enough that you'd be willing to be civilly disobedient?

What don't you understand about her question and how it is simply restating your assignment?

What exactly do you mean about being like Thoreau?
