Question

Write two to three sentences that describe Thoreau’s viewpoint in this passage.

Answer 1

He finds beauty in the simplicity of nature.

Answer 2

Thoreau's overall viewpoint was that it was in solitude with nature that a man could really learn to thrive. He argued that a life of luxury was an unnecessary one and that a man could easily make a living without even having to sweat if he would just strip his life of unneeded, materialistic items. I hope this helps, although I am not sure how to narrow this down seeing as your question is incomplete.
