Twelve years, seven months and eleven days. Murai L.

Walden 12 years, seven months and three days. At this age, every day is important, although Walden understands this only when his father leaves him alone for a week in a forest hut. Just like in the book of the great Henry Toro, to which his father tormented his son all childhood. What did Walden do wrong? It is clear that he does not justify the hopes of his father, he is not courageous enough, he is not a fighter. The baseball match, in which Walden did not repulse a single ball, seems to have become fatal. On the third day of Walden’s wild life, it is not up to thought, he needs to find food. Both the baseball bat and Remington, which his father provided him with.

, is gradually turning into a move that the expulsion of Walden is not a punishment at all, and that in an adult world, everything can be much more complicated and stupid than a child can To imagine.
