  • Unknown Author: If the work does not have an author, cite the source by its title in the signal phrase or use the first word or two in the parentheses. Titles of books and reports are italicized or underlined; titles of articles, chapters, and web pages are in quotation marks. A similar study was done of students learning to format research papers ("Using APA," 2001).

  • Thoreau confesses to once having desired to slaughter a woodchuck and eat it raw, just to get at its wild essence
  • Both he and Emerson kept journals from which their published works were derived
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • sense that the society around them was seriously deficient: a “mass” of “bugs or spawn”
  • As the nineteenth century came to its mid-point, the transcendentalists' dissatisfaction with their society became focused on policies and actions of the United States government: the treatment of the Native Americans, the war with Mexico, and, above all, the continuing and expanding practice of slavery.
  • Thoreau denounced the absurdity of a court in Boston “trying a MAN, to find out if he is not really a SLAVE,” when the question has already been “decided from eternity”
  • Emerson calls the original 1787 Constitution's recognition of slavery a “crime”
  • The government, Thoreau argues, is but an expedient by which we succeed “in letting one another alone”
  • Thoreau concludes: “I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave's government also”
  • Although Thoreau advocates nonviolent action in “Resistance to Civil Government,” he later supported the violent actions of John Brown, who killed unarmed pro-slavery settlers in Kansas, and in 1859 attacked the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia
