Thoreau/Civil Disobedience
Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
A 4 page rhetorical analysis of Henry David Thoreau's famous essay. Civil Disobedience is an eloquent composition that lays out the parameters of what people should and should not accept in governmental action. Thoreau's intention is to demonstrate logically to his readers that to passively accept injustices perpetuated by government is morally equivalent to supporting those injustices. Rhetorical analysis of Thoreau's argument demonstrates how he achieves this purpose and, therefore, why this essay has been extremely influential in both American and world history. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
