If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured, or far away.

Questions- How does Thoreau connect to Freudian theory? Even further, how does transcendentalism connect to Freud? What is the significance of the "time skipping" throughout the first 30 pages of the book? Could it signify going to a different drummer? Thoreau wants to march to a different drummer, weird that he won't join the forces. Maybe thats where he came up with the famous quote. Thoreau is acting as a teacher, and the audience as the class, did thoreau teach as a younger adult? What could this show, if he did. "...We're huckleberrying..."- I have a strong feeling these two writers are talking about Twain... why..? What connection do the two authors have to thoreau. Copyrighted in 1971, Robert Edwin Lee and Jerome Lawrence, With Thoreau dead almost 100 years before then, there is almost no obvious connection.... why do you think these two wrote this play.

Ending- Other things that Robert Edwin Lee and his partner, Jerome Lawrence did, includes working for the armed forces radio. Ironic..., The play that these two wrote was very normal for them. They were used to writing about past american experiences.
