epilogue

Having completed the multi-genre project, I feel it gave me a better perspective on Thoreau’s understanding and what he wanted for readers to learn and understand. The genres I chose allowed for this, as they gave me the ability to tap into his mind speaking to himself, others, and even the opinions of others on his venture. Had I done solely one genre, in the sense of writing a story or research paper, it would have prevented the learning on my end, and furthermore, the attainable information for readers. Lastly, I hope my short book has done Thoreau’s //Walden// justice. That the gist of what his journey to the woods was all about has been summed up in six genres and a number of quotations. Repetend- “What an man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.”
