Literature.

Write a minimum 850-word essay using textual evidence from works:

1.    Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson are a one-two punch in American literature and were also good friends. Some emphasize their connection to nature, while others look at their politics and the idea of civil disobedience, either through protest or their writings. Why do you think both authors are taught together?

PLEASE NOTE that you will have to gather tangible evidence to support your answers. And tangible evidence means use quotes and ideas from the text (Nortons), not simply biographical info to gloss over answers.

I want these typed, double-spaced, and in 12-point font. And proper MLA format!
