Thoreau and Whitman

What do each of these authors describe as being the meaning of life? Write one paragraph about each (2 paragraphs total) following the t-sheet format. So you should have, for each paragraph, a topic sentence, three examples, and at least two sentences of commentary per example. Please type.
Some issues you might focus on:

• How we can gain meaning from the present moment
• What happens after we die to give meaning to our existence
• What distracts people from finding true meaning in their lives
