<span>`It lends a sense of believability to the absurd events, allowing the reader to suspend their disbelief. I would say this is the effect of the narration, to make the hitting on the head seem believable especially using the analogy of the fly and also his remorse at hitting the man.</span>

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Read the excerpt from Walden.

Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlor of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants. Heaven is under our feet is well as over our heads.

Which is one reason that the constitutional convention decided they needed a document to replace the Article Of Confederation
slavikrds [6]

One of the main reasons for the Constitutional Convention was the weakness of the federal government under the Articles of Confederation. After the Revolutionary War, it became obvious that the federal government did not have enough power to sucessfully mediate between self-interested states. It also did not have the power to enforce tax collection, which left it severely underfunded. These were major reasons for the Constitutional Convention and the drafting of the Constitution.
