Assignment 7: Journal 1 In your journal, please respond to a passage from Thoreau’s “Where I Lived and What I Lived for” in 400 words or more.

After reading a passage from Henry David Thoreau’s “Where I Lived and What I Lived for,” in 400 words or more, explain what you want from life itself and how change is a necessary element of existence. Use your best English and use strong verbs and nouns to create a picture for an audience to imagine.

“I went to the woods to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.”

So, what do we write about? What do you want from life? Why is change a necessary part of life? Why is it important to treat each day as if it were your last?
