   In Walden, Thoureau presents a lesson of wisdom about the best way to life as an individual and as a social being.

   What would look like excentricity to most people, means to him a reflection about the capitalism and the advantages and disadvantages of urbanization and industrialization.

   The trancendentalism defended the vality of the intuition, and individualism. So it fits with the thoughts of Thoureau about the industrialization and reflections about life, as it is possible to confirm in Walden when a question is frequently asked about what is really important to the basic needs for the modern man to have a good life. He defends that it is possible to have a good life with the minimum of material resources to provide whatever the spirit needs, such as reading, reflections about life and nature watching. On the other hand, he afirms that it is possible to have a good life without an  excess of clothes, food or fancy houses.

Thoreau belonged to an era when industrialization had reduced personal freedom. He believed that technological advancement had reduced man to a slave of tools and machinery. He believed that human life has been confined by rapid technological advancements. Thoreau also saw industrilization as a threat to nature.


"Why is it that men give so poor an account of their day if they have not been slumbering? They are not such poor calculators. If they had not been overcome with drowsiness, they would have performed something. The millions are awake enough for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred millions to a poetic or divine life. To be awake is to be alive."


Thoreau saw nature as a source of freedom.


"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."


He believed that simplifying life by escaping society and embracing nature was a way for individuals to be closer to and understand God. He believed that nature provided an ideal model that a good society could be based on: just as nature treats all its creatures equally so should society.


"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail."


Thoreau’s negativity toward industrialization reflects his transcendentalist ideas. He advocates individualism, the connection between nature, God, and man, and the importance of simple living, which are some of the ideals that the transcendental era preached.

GaryK [48]
I will give you two explanations:

- Yes if Bruno is being psychologically damaged by talking to his imaginary friend. Only his mother or those around him on a daily basis would know the affects his imaginary friend is creating. If it is harmful to him and those around him the habit is worth breaking.

- No if Bruno finds his imaginary friend to be kind, listening, and one of the only friends he have. If Bruno imaginary friend brings relief and positive energy to his life that friend is worth keeping.
