<span>According to ideas in Walden, I suggest you to go with this one: C) He would believe they were destructive to a person’s thinking ability. It's the closest one from options given above.</span>

Explanation:

Walden has very noticeable strong themes. The importance of self reliance, the Value of Simplicity, the Illusion of progress (Thoreau is very skeptical about considering technological advance as societal advance) and so on. Also, there's the life in the woods itself represented in Walden. So it's hard to see him seeing the new technology as important or beneficial. He was also a logical person, so finding impractical new and better technology is probably not the case. Which leaves us to the the correct answer, the option that fits all of Thoreau's worries.

Answer:

C) He would believe they were destructive to a person’s thinking ability.

Would someone help me. I have written my short story and now I’m suppose to set up a blog and write a 400 word blog about my sto
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer/Explanation:

Blogs are like a journal that people post online. Since you are technically not writing a "real" blog, you may use "WORD", which is Microsoft Word. If you want to use a blog site, you could use "Blogger" for example. <u>It does not matter where you do the blog</u>, as long as you type it out.

Blogs are written in first person, using "I", "me" or "my". They include personal ideas and perspectives.

Writing a blog about your story is like writing a <u>commentary or review</u> about it. <u>Pretend you did not write the story</u> and you have just read it. First, introduce the story with the author and a summarize it. You can include things like plot insights and analyses of your story, your personal opinion of why it was good or bad, or what you thought of the characters.

Remember to include a title, your name, and the date. The formatting does not matter as long as it's logical (near the top somewhere).

If you need some examples or ideas, you can search up "book blogs".
