Translation on Thoreau

Part 1 Notes

• he went to the woods on purpose
• trying to find the nessesary facts on life to see what life has to offer
• wasn't living life to its fullest
• he wants to live
•  focous on good and not the bad
• push the negativeness out
• experience life to the edge
• wants to be enlightened
• society doesn't fight for life
• when it does they fail because they do not know how

Part 2 Translation
 He went into the wood to get out of the BS non fighting society he was living in he didn't want to be misserable all the time like the rest of them were he wanted to live his life to the fullest, on the edge. Since he started  living in nature he started living his life to the maximum. He started pushing all the negitivity out of life and started pushing in the positive. He wants to be enlightened by life. and wants society to do it to.
society doesn't fight for life. When they do they fail because they don't want to fight or they don't know how. Blow after blow to avoid fighting and their life is misserable because they wont fight.

Midterm study strategies

My study strategy is to use flash cards. I have found out in the past that flash cards are easier to remember the words easier throughout the week I will be studying all the vocab we have learned.
