Walden Chapter 4: Sounds
- Thoreau believes that a person
should be alert and open to nature.
- He spends most of his time enjoying his surroundings rather than
reading, writing, or working.
- There is a railroad next to Thoreau's
house. Every time it passes by it
reminds him that civilization is nearby.
- He says both that the sound of the train refreshes him and
that he is repelled by its smoke and steam and hissing.
- When it passes him, he is alone again.
- Thoreau's new lifestyle frees him from
any worries and responsibilities in his
life.
- He admires the simplicity of his life and how
little belongings he owns.
