When Thoreau writes, " simplify, simplify" in the second paragraph, he calls on the reader to reduce their current life style with all the luxuries and excessive materials. He is emphasizing his point that people need to drastically reduce what they have in life and move back to the bare necessities. He believes that life has gotten to a point in which it has gotten so complex and complicated that life will become harder to enjoy. His argument is to simplify life.
