Walden and Civil Disobedience

The reflections in Walden explore life and society through Thoreau's experiences living in a cabin by Walden Pond, emphasizing individualism and a deep appreciation for nature. In contrast, Civil Disobedience articulates his protest against governmental interference with civil liberties, stemming from his own night in jail. Together, these works exemplify Thoreau's commitment to personal beliefs and social justice, inspiring readers to consider the importance of self-reliance and moral integrity in the face of societal norms.
