    QUESTIONS TO PONDER
    Why did Thoreau choose Walden pond? Why did he choose a
    pond?


    THE BLOOM
    the cracking and booming of the ice indicate a change in
    temperature.(Thoreau 282)
    few phenomena gave me more delight than to observe the forms
    which thawing sand and clay assume in flowing down the sides of a
    deep cut on the railroads through which I passed on my way to the
    village(Thoreau 285)
    In a pleasant spring morning all mens sins are forgiven.(294)

    THE POND
    this pond never breaks up so soon as the others in this
    neighborhood, on account both of its greater depth and its having no
    stream passing through it to melt or wear away the ice(Thoreau 280)
    Who would have suspected so large and cold and thick-skinned a
    thing to be so sensitive.(Thoreau 282)
