Detailed explanation-1: -In 1845, 27 year-old Henry David Thoreau built a simple house on the shore of Walden Pond on land owned by his friend and influential writer Ralph Waldo Emerson. He lived here for two years, two months and two days. This pe-riod became transformative for him and, ultimately, a meaningful reflection for us all.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Henry David Thoreau’s experience at Walden Pond taught him that there are only four necessities for him: food, shelter, clothing, and fuel.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thoreau was a 27-year-old Harvard graduate when he moved to Walden. He built the simple 10-by-15-foot cabin along the shore of the 62-acre pond, a mile from the nearest neighbor, on land owned by his friend, poet Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thoreau stayed for two years at Walden Pond (1845–47). In the summer of 1847 Emerson invited him to stay with his wife and children again, while Emerson himself went to Europe. Thoreau accepted, and in September 1847 he left his cabin forever. Midway in his Walden sojourn Thoreau had spent a night in jail.
