Transcendentalism And Walden Comparison

The importance of nature is an untouched thing that has felt on the inside that should be led into one self's body and soul. Transcendentalism is a system based on the idea that in order to understand the nature of reality one must first examine and analyze the reasoning process that governs the nature of experience. Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson is about him finding the love of nature is a feeling inward and outward the body/soul, and Walden by Henry David Thoreau is about his journey into nature and living by a pond.. In their stories the find the love for nature, how nature influenced man, and how nature is not being used to fill potential.

Thoreau learned to love nature and realized how good it was to love it. While in the woods he became to love nature and his bean rows, they attached Thoreau closer to earth. He says “I came to love my rows, my beans, though so many more than I wanted. They attached me to the earth and so I got strength like Antaeus” (Thoreau 238). The dedication he had to have for those beans had to be a lot. He had to make sure they didn't die and he had to make sure they grew.
