| What according to "Walden", are Thoreau's views on the news? |
|
Definition
| He believes that it's unnecessary if people are just hearing it for the sake of knowing it. He tells how if there were a fire, a majority of people wouldn't get involved and help out, they'd just go to see it happen and to talk about it later. And newspapers themselves are pointless because once someone has heard a story about a principle of people's actions; why hear the same story told over again with different settings and characters? |
