Answer:
Henry David Thoreau — essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian — is one of America’s most well-known writers. He lived his entire life, from 1817 until 1862, in and around Concord, Massachusetts, and he remains popular among readers of all ages worldwide because the topics he wrote about are still relevant today. His political writings have inspired generations to take a stand, and his nature writing earned him the title of “the father of environmentalism.”
How much of our life is spent in self-reflection, and how does nature encourage and nurture self-knowledge and growth? Can spending time in nature clear our minds and help us work in a more focused and creative way? Can it make us better learners and better human beings?
In this Text to Text lesson plan, celebrating this year’s 200th anniversary of Thoreau’s birth, we take on some of those questions by pairing his 1851 piece, “Walking,” with a 2013 New York Times column “Time to Write? Go Outside” — then suggest eight activities for taking the learning further.

a) The Disney movie selected for analysis is Cinderella.
b) The social institution in such movie is marriage.
c) Sociological perspective: Feminism.
Here is the analysis:
- In Disney's Cinderella, feminism, that is, the thought of equality between sexes, is not apparent. This approach takes roots in the movie's idea of a poor girl with a miserable life who dreams about a prince who marries her and takes her to his kingdom for "salvation" and, on the other hand, the prince falls in love with her only because she is pretty. But nowadays, feminism would ask: why does she need a prince to thrive in life when she is plenty and has plenty to make the effort to achieve her own progress?
- Another point for discussion is how do they fall in love in the first place: they barely know each other but, yeah, they are in love. So, the movie shows a "superficial love", since if Cinderella wasn't pretty, he would never love her back.
- Thus, the movie encourages little girls to aspire to find the other significant one and get married with a "him", instead of showing girls how to overcome themselves and afterwards, falling in love, because only if you fall in love with yourself, you can fall for someone else.
In Greek mythology, Midas is a king obsessed with wealth. He asks the gods for the ability to turn anything he touches to gold. The gods grant his wish, and Midas soon realizes this gift is actually a curse. Chesterton uses the story of Midas as an analogy for chasing materialistic success. Much as the authors worship material wealth and pursue it as if it were attainable, Midas learns that his new ability doesn’t help him succeed because it prevents him from performing necessary tasks such as eating. Chesterton reminds readers of the obvious moral of Midas's story and shows that authors who write about success often misinterpret Midas's story—sometimes by using phrases such as "the Midas touch" in a positive light.
Chesterton emphasizes that King Midas is an example of foolishness and failure. He implies that, for the same reason, writers who encourage people to chase material success share Midas's foolishness:
We all know of such men. We are ever meeting or reading about such persons who turn everything they touch into gold. Success dogs their very footsteps. Their life's pathway leads unerringly upwards. They cannot fail.
Unfortunately, however, Midas could fail; he did. His path did not lead unerringly upward. He starved because whenever he touched a biscuit or a ham sandwich it turned to gold. That was the whole point of the story . . .
