Book Comparison

Many people try and live outside of what is considered normal. Thoreau, Emerson, and Kerouac are three people who philosophized about this subject of living simply and taking a step back from modernism. The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac the romantic and Walden by Thoreau the realist have two similar ideas coming from two different places. Thoreau’s philosophy plays a bigger role in our world because he directly depicts how and where society has changed people.
