Answer:

So that they will not be accused of any form of sorcery in relation to the sickness of Mr. Welsch.

Explanation:

In the book "Cultural Anthropology" Robert L. Welsch and Luis A. Vivanco discusses the various and different approaches to sickness and diseases, depending on the environment and culture of the people concerned. For example, when anthropologist Robert Welsch contracted malaria while doing some field work among the Ningerum people of Papua New Guinea, the villagers want to take him to the health center that was miles away. Even though he tried the American way of dealing with the sickness, by taking fluids and medicines, seclusion and lots of rest, the villagers, as is their custom, did not let him be alone. Instead, they have a completely different perception of their sicknesses. They believed that illnesses are caused by sorcery, and so they tried to comfort Welsch and stay with him for long hours. They were scared of being accused of doing some sorcery on him so rather than being wrongly accused, they would rather send him to the health center where they won't come to any sort of harm.

What does the excerpt from "Solitude," in which the author walks around the pond one evening, reveal about Thoreau's personality
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The excerpt where the author walks around the pond revealed that He can be alone without actually feeling lonely and also comfortable in his own skin.

Explanation:

The meaning of "Solitude" by Thoreau is that; it is not Loneliness or isolation but rather it is about introspection and self communion. He says that a man can be lonely when surrounded by others if he does not feel real companionship with them.

Thoreau goes to the woods to live his life deliberately because He wished to live to front only the essentials of life and if He had really lived. Thoreau's main theme is about Simplicity. i.e Simplicity in experience, simplicity in self- reliance and simplicity in worship. this He believes brings the finer things in life.

<span>C: Foreshadowing

I believe this (or D) is the best option. Allusion is a reference to a famous/historical literary or art work. Irony could be present, but I don't see much irony apart from the past, present, and future. Foreshadowing seems likely due to her end piece "if you don't plan for it".</span>

slavikrds [6]

c. but when he came home the next week, alive, renowned . . . it seemed to us that the partiality of providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism.

This option talks about the return of someone who the narrator sees as being evil like a reptile. Everyone seems to have hoped that the man was dead. However, the man returns seemingly unchanged. Options A, B, and C are statements of fact and observation without any personal emotion or appeal in them to create humor.
