Was Haku based off Henry David Thoreau??

[Heisenberg284]

"Transcendentalism is based on the belief that human beings have self-wisdom and may gain this knowledge or wisdom by tuning in to the ebb and flow of nature."

As many of you know, Thoreau was one of the main contributors to this movement. Legend even has it, when he whistled, animals would come to him.

Haku seems to be one with nature, much like Thoreau, and passes the same abstract thinking traits as well. Both also lived in a forest for quite some time. Haku also possess a relationship with animals, like Thoreau and seems to speak to them.

Both were also experts on berries. haku knew which ones were good for medicine and such.

I see.. but just because your avi is someone doesn't mean you post alot about em. It was a simple innocent question.

OT: I feel that Kishi doesn't know about that guy either.

There are definitely parallels, but I think the closeness to nature and philosophy comes more from Zen.

Who the hell is Thoreau?

He is a writer and a social activist. He inspired people like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. He mostly wrote about oneness with nature and civil disobedience.
