Thoreau

Walden

-Terse sentences state his position
-deductive: begins with a short sentence and follows with an extremely long sentence to be more specific
-Very opinionated; often starts with: I think, and
longer sentences are loose and is his explanation
-Implements simple verbs to make it more understandable to the reader
-Time period: transcendentalist and his writing which focuses on extreme nature reflects the belief of Transcendentalism
