When I first paddled a boat on Walden, it was completely surrounded by thick and lofty pine and oak woods, and in some of its co

ves grape vines had run over the trees next the water and formed bowers under which a boat could pass.

Question 1 options: smell; to reveal the quietness of the pond touch; to create clear images of the forest and the hills hearing; to reveal the quietness of the pond sight; to create clear images of the forest and the hills

In this passage from Henry David Thoreau's Walden, the narrator uses strong sensory language to create clear images - to, in essence, paint a clear picture in words - of the forest and the hills. The narrator is able, through the use of such strong sensory language and imagery to give the read a clear image of what he is describing, which, in turns, makes the scene he is describing come to life.
