... healthy and strong, which will help him/her to fulfill the rest of the eight stages (Shaffer 103) Neither Freud nor Erikson deal with women extensively in personality development (except in the phallic symbols, etc. which don’t need to be discussed here), but Karen Horney does.

... for things he needed he was on his own. He did well with it, but wanted to move on with his life so he left Walden. After his experience, he decided to write about it in his book, Walden Pond. Thoreau tried to live his life based on his ideas no matter how extreme they may have been. These transcendentalists had many ideas that seemed to others to be extremely impractical. The authors thought that they could transform the world through their ideas. One of their main ideas was that we are all true individuals and should not conform to whatever the “norm” is.

It occurs in ": Part II", an intensely personal story which completely immerses the reader in the actions and thoughts of Nick Adams.

Nick is seen setting up his camp in ": Part I" in intimate detail, from choosing the perfect place to set his tent to ...
