    Living on the edge of town allowed Thoreau to understand the world around him better. He wanted to be self-reliant. Live off the land. Thoreau believed that everyone was too interested in success and money and material things. You have to understand that Thoreau was a rebel. He didn't agree with the government, didn't want to pay taxes. He marched to his own drum and thought others should too.
