Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau

American Transcendentalism: Resistance to Government, or Civil Disobedience

This is a "hypertext" version of Thoreau's essay. All you have to do is click on the text to enhance your understanding. I suggest you read this soon since you will have an in-class writing assignment.

An audio recording for "Civil Disobedience." Diedrich clicked on "Whole Item 128 kbs stream" for the audio to begin, perhaps, you will be able to find another way.

This is a recording you may want to download to your Ipod. If you do, PLEASE follow along while reading the text, then listen to it while performing your daily chores around your home or "zoning-out" in a room without distractions. You will understand the "why" behind my suggestion once you do.
