Walden

Thoreau compares his life in the woods to normal daily life in towns and cities, but spends much more time describing the latter than he does describing the former. Why might he have chosen to do this?

Where I have lived, and what I live for”

I think he knows that his main audience exists in cities and urban locations. He wants to appeal to these people. Thoreau assumes that people who live in rural settings understand what he is talking about.
