According to this excerpt from Walden, in which subject area did the transcendentalist thinker Thoreau most likely find his insp

iration? This small lake was of most value as a neighbor in the intervals of a gentle rain-storm in August, when, both air and water being perfectly still, but the sky overcast, mid-afternoon had all the serenity of evening, and the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore. A lake like this is never smoother than at such a time; and the clear portion of the air above it being, shallow and darkened by clouds, the water, full of light and reflections, becomes a lower heaven itself so much the more important. From a hill-top near by, where the wood had been recently cut off, there was a pleasing vista southward across the pond, through a wide indentation in the hills which form the shore there, where their opposite sides sloping toward each other suggested a stream flowing out in that direction through a wooded valley, but stream there was none. That way I looked between and over the near green hills to some distant and higher ones in the horizon, tinged with blue.

Answer:

Thoreau’s writing style is reflective and includes vivid descriptions based on his keen observations of nature. He uses detailed imagery as well as metaphors, such as when he compares the calm lake to heaven, to describe the setting of Walden. The use of imagery and metaphors helps to highlight nature’s beauty, deepen the meaning of the text, and emphasize how important nature is to humanity.-from plato

First of all, you want something that is true all year around, not just in August. 
Second you need something that is a bit mystic or unusual.

Keeping those 2 points in mind, I would pick the sentence beginning "From a hill top nearby ..." The end of the sentence says that it looked like there should have been a stream, but there was none. Pretty interesting (not spooky). All of the sentences could be used, and all have their suggestions of the mystic and very much in keeping with your question. However good as the first sentence is, I would still choose the one I quoted.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

When I was on my way home I tried to cross a busy road while standing by the road I met an old man, and I can clearly see that he might have problems crossing this busy road. So I decided to talk to the old man and offer my help, and at the same time assure him that he will be safe if he walks through with me he simply responded not to worry about him as he has crossed this road many times before, while slightly disappointed I realized that it’s better that he knows how to cross the road by himself in case people wouldn’t have been as courteous as I was.

What happens in dork diaries 1 with 300 words
jekas [21]

Answer:

Dork Diaries is a humorous children's book series written and illustrated by Rachel Renée Russell. The series, written in a diary format, uses drawings, doodles, and comic strips to chronicle the daily life of its 14-year-old protagonist, Nikki Maxwell, in and outside of middle school.

Coming of age is an important theme in the novel “Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life” by Rachel Renee Russell. Coming of age involves the personal, spiritual, moral, or emotional growth and maturation of an individual often based on real world experiences.

That description fits lead character Nikki Maxwell, an artsy 14-year-old who's a self-described dork and the “ninth most unpopular girl” at Westchester Country Day. Key characters include her brown-haired crush, Brandon Roberts, and her mean-girl nemesis, MacKenzie Hollister.

The series has twelve books

A summary of the first book is

Dork Diaries

(Release date: June 2, 2009)

Fourteen-year-old Nikki Maxwell is not happy when her father arranges a scholarship for her to attend a private middle school called Westchester Country Day as part of the contract for his bug extermination services. Nikki does not fit in with the wealthy, designer clad students and spends most of her time alone writing in her diary. To make matters worse, she has a locker right next to the school's most popular girl, MacKenzie Hollister. MacKenzie labels Nikki as a "Dork" and goes out of her way to make Nikki’s life miserable.

It appears the new school may work out when Nikki befriends two other dorky but loyal girls, Chloe and Zoey. She even meets a really cute boy named Brandon. But, things take a turn for the worse when Nikki enters the school art show and discovers her main competition is her enemy, MacKenzie, who will stop at nothing to win.
