4.  Silently read and annotate pages 14-40

• Jot down annotations from pages 1-14
• Try to annotate quotes that capture Thoreau's philosophy on: religion, education, the role of the government, justice, individualism/conformity

• If done early, get crackin' on homework!

Juxtaposition is a literary technique in which two or more ideas, places, characters and their actions are placed side by side in a narrative or a poem for the purpose of developing comparisons and contrasts.
