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>

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

These living libraries preserve knowledge by studying memory books.

Explanation:

 Your question refers to the book Fahrenheit 541 by Ray Bradbury.

These men who are living libraries preserve the knowledge they believe is necessary for the future. It is important that they do this because if they don't, that knowledge will die forever.

They plan to pass the books on to their children, knowing that much of that information will be lost but still very useful.

Each man had a book that he wanted to remember and it was thus that over the years they were setting up an organization.

Let's look at the following quote:

<em>"And when the war's over, some day, some year, the books can be written again, the people will be called in, one by one, to recite what they know and we'll set it up in type until another Dark Age, when we might have to do the whole thing over again. "</em>
