Identify the appeal that Thoreau uses in the following excerpt from Walden, and evaluate whether it is effective and appropriate in the context. Explain why or why not. Make sure to clearly state the appeal used and include examples from the text to support your response.
"I had this advantage, at least, in my mode of life, over those who were obliged to look abroad for amusement, to society and the theatre, that my life itself was become my amusement and never ceased to be novel. It was a drama of many scenes and without an end. If we were always indeed getting our living, and regulating our lives according to the last and best mode we had learned, we should never be troubled with ennui. Follow your genius closely enough, and it will not fail to show you a fresh prospect every hour.”
