1. What Transcendentalist view of nature does the passage from Thoreau’s Walden?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

B, C, D, A, C, B, A

Explanation:

1. B

A) In general, transcendentalists saw nature as a something beautiful. Answer A goes directly against this viewpoint, so even without knowledge on the text, this is an incorrect answer.

B) This viewpoint is in keeping with transcendentalist views. It is the correct answer.

C) <em>Walden </em>is a book whose focus is on how nature impacted Thoreau's views on the world. He wrote it whilst out in a forest, in a cabin. It most certainly is not indifferent towards nature.

D) This is never brought up in the book.

2. C

A) Emerson's main focus whenever talking about self-reliance was not on "the elements". In fact, he most likely thought the opposite.

B) Emerson's views were almost never involved with business.

C) Emerson believed that, in keeping with the main ideals of transcendentalism, there should be a focus on individuality, independence both thought and attitude. This answer is correct.

D) This was a topic that writers like Emerson did not hold opinion for.

3. D

A) Emerson wrote the <em>Concord Hymn </em>to celebrate independence. He wouldn't regret the minutemen who fired the first shots of the battle.

B) Emerson was not bewildered when writing this. His diction does not condemn the people of America like the minute men for seeking independence.

C) The best adjective to explain his attitude in the hymn would not be gratitude, although he may feel it. His emotions that he's sharing with the audience in the hymn are stronger than that.

D) Awe is an adjective that properly captures the author's attitude towards the minute men who fought for independence in the Battle of Concord.

4. A

A) Thoreau in his book <em>Walden </em>went to the woods and lived in a cabin to experience the very basics of life, without the distractions of the growing America.

B) Thoreau was a writer. he had no separate jobs that I know of that did not involve writing.

C) Thoreau was not a scientist.

D) If he was dating nature then yes.

5. C

A) Thoreau did not leave the woods because it was too difficult. He would not have stayed for 2 years if it was too difficult.

B) For the same reason as A, he did not leave because of isolation.

C) Thoreau believed that after two years living in the woods, he had experienced everything the woods offer. He went back because he wanted to continue to live life without routine.

D) If there is context in "sugar in his coffee" this could be the correct answer, but if not, then this answer is not the reason he left.

6. B

A) Conformity is the opposite of what Thoreau believed in. Individuality is something he believed in, but was not one of the main points of the book.

B) This is correct, especially in this book. He went out into nature for the sole purpose of self-reliance, so it's one of the main topics within the book.

C) These are not only not relevant topics in the book, but for someone who believed in nonconformity like Thoreau, these two topics may even go against his views, unless the others he was friends with were nonconformists as well.

D) These are not topics in Thoreau's book, but they may be part of Romanticism.

7. A

A) In general, Thoreau can be summarized with this line, not just <em>Waldin</em>. almost every famous work of his is something relating to being someone who is different.

B) If anything, Thoreau believed that one could fight "City Hall" using Civil-Disobedience. But, even aside from that, he never talking about this in his book.

C) This is a saying that has nothing to do with Thoreau's beliefs.

D) Conforming to others is the opposite of Thoreau's beliefs. To conform to others is to no longer be an individual in his eyes.

I don't know why I answered every option, but there you go. :)

Assoli18 [71]
<span>Death being discussed in this play is foreshadowing. The author is hinting that Romeo and Juliet will die or at least that someone will die. Foreshadowing is a good way to give your audience a hint about what is to come so they will feel suspense and will try to see what will happen next.</span>
