In <em>Walden</em>, Thoreau details his experiences of living in a cabin he built near Walden Pond. He explains the reasons behind his decision, and what he wanted to gain from the experience. We learn that this was an attempt to engage in a social experiment, and return to a simple life of self-reliance. Thoreau lived in this cabin for two years, mostly on his own.

However, we also learn that after this time, he started feeling that his time there had been enough. He claims that he started falling into an easy routine, and that it was necessary for him to pull himself out of it, as he had several lives to live and could not spare any more time on that particular one. He decided he needed to go back to society, and not escape it anymore.

Based on the play, Thoreau compares his return to society as a cruise on the open ocean because he considers it as hiding out or escaping the form of the life in the society by confronting or engaging to it directly. It was not easy for him as <span>he went to the woods to live deliberately and not discover at life's end that he had NOT lived at all. Thoreau feels that he should no longer try to escape the world by hiding out in Walden pond as he discovered from this life he chose, and he had not lived at all. Escaping did not give him the life that he expected it to be.</span>

Im stuck at home during the pandemic. I'm in 9th grade, and i procrastinate a lot, how can I stay focused during school if i get
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

You probably procrastinate because you are, or you think you are overwhelmed with a lot of work, right? This happens to me too. So, here are some tips on how to keep yourself on track:

Explanation:

1. When doing an assignment and you feel like quitting, you need to stand, walk away to another room, and take a five-minute breather. If you can't walk anywhere because you are at a desk at school, close your eyes, set your pencil down, and take steady breaths. After your brain has released some tension, go back to the assignment and begin to work again. This will help you get more work done since you won't give up so easily.

2. Another piece of advice to keep yourself from procrastination is to be sure of your surroundings. Distraction plays a huge role when not staying on task. So, if you are checking your phone while trying to complete an assignment, you should put your phone in another room OR place it somewhere out of sight. This technique will enhance your concentration on your work, as you will have nothing to distract you. If you have this problem with anything else other than your phone (such as students), do the same technique, even if it means moving your studies to a different location.

3. Work can be overwhelming; I know that. But, the more we procrastinate, the more work builds up. And the more work that builds up, the more procrastination. Make sense? To help you, the advice I would give is to do little sections of a class, and then move onto an entirely different subject, and do a little section of that, and then come back to the class you left and try to complete it again. That way your work will be less boring, and your brain will be less tense.

I hope this helps you! Sorry that this was a long read :))
