Henry David Thoreau was a great man. Henry went all the way into the woods, built a log cabin big enough for one. He stayed here for two years, two months, and two days. Every day he woke up and enjoyed the beautiful sight. He wrote in his journals and played his flute. Henry was an extremely talented man. People need to sit down and take in everything. Notice the details, listen to the sounds, and relax. Henry spent all of his time at a very peaceful place for a reason. He took the time to acknowledge all the beauty. There are many thing things in life, but we need to pay attention to nature’s beauty.
Henry did not waste those two years at Walden Pond. He was trying to teach himself and others a lesson. Many people take what they have for granted. They don’t realize what life is really worth. “Let us spend one day as deliberate as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wings that falls on the trails” (385). People don’t understand the true beauty of nature. It is true that many people don’t know who they really are because they’re too worried about what other people will think about them.
Henry spent his time in the cabin very well. His writing portrayed beauty and life. Henry’s work should inspire many people to appreciate the small things. Don’t take things for granted. Henry spent many of his hours at the pond. He had beautiful thoughts and wanted to share them with others. They just don’t understand real beauty of nature. Few people were interested in his book. That shows people don’t appreciate the goodness or detail in things.
After Henry’s experience at Walden Pond, he saw how pretty nature was. He saw wonderful creations from nature. Henry was also a very talented man. He could play the flute and write astonishing entries in his journals. Many people thought he was crazy for spending all that time in a wood cabin deep in the woods. Henry’s time in the woods was well worth it. He experienced nature’s beauty and creations. He enjoyed every minute he spent there. He did not care what other people thought of him. As long as he was happy, that’s all that mattered. Henry’s get away helped him find out who he really was, and not what other people influenced him to be.

I like the ideas you have and you do a good job supporting them with quotes from Walden. Next time, look to place the pictures next to the paragraphs they connect to. This makes it easier for the reader (me) to see the connections between the media you chose and ideas you have written about.
