Question

5. How would you describe Thoreau’s tone in paragraph 12? How does it contribute to his position?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cautionary and advocative

Explanation:

The tone that Thoreau adopts in paragraph 12 is a cautionary and advocative one. In this paragraph, Thoreau discusses the process of voting, and how this impacts regular citizens. He tells us that citizens who are intelligent and honest matter as much as people who do not have these qualities when it comes to voting. He argues that this is an inefficient system, and that people who participate in it are acting in an unjust manner. This supports the idea he advocates throughout the text: that individual people deserve more input in politics.

Answer 2

On the duty of civil disobedence is the name of a conference written by Henry David Thoreauand that was published in 1849. He wrote this motivated by his disgreement with slavery and the war. He considers people should not be contolled by government, so he calls voters slaves. The tone he uses in paragraph is pretty sincere and frank, with the use of expressions such as little virtue he is showing his real opinion
