Where I Lived, and What I Lived for Thoreau

This writing was so confusing to me that I honestly don't remember half of it. What I got from this story is that to this person owning property is not important. When this person just thinks about the property they get the same feeling as if they did own it but in the end they do not have to spend the money of time on the property to have those feelings. Reading through this story I thought at points that they really did own the property because of all the in depth details they gave and the visions they were having for example the part saying, "the hollow and lichen-covered apple trees, nawed by rabbits, showing what kind of neighbors i should have; but above all, the recollection I had of it from my earliest voyages up the river, when the house was concealed behind a dense grove of red maples, through which i heard the house-dog bark. Through the writing I was often lost because they went into what I thought was too much detail. Overall I didn't enjoy reading this story and I wish I could have grasped it more.
