As I read Walden by Henry David Thoreau, I gradually become more and more confused. The way his scattered writing is thrown onto the page, I find it very difficult to follow and I have a hard time grasping the intention of the story. The writing almost feels like poetry, however, doesn’t have the structure and rhythm of a poem. It feels quick-paced and rushed, like he has so much to say and it is pouring out of him and into the story. I feel that with the addition of more breaks, breathing, or some kind of rhythmic pattern to his writing, I would feel much more engaged as a reader.
