Walden

“It’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees.”

This quote isn't Thoreau’s. Knowing his ideas, explain why Thoreau would or would not agree. Be sure to make it clear what you think Thoreau’s stance would be by writing “Agree” or “Disagree” at the beginning of each response.

I totally agree that Thoreau would be down with this. Thoreau was an idealist. He believed in the freedom of the individual to stand up without the aid of government or charity. He believes in the independent spirit to rise or fall on its own accord.
