ANSWER: C. It was so hot, it felt like an oven outside
EXPLANATION: This example uses hyperbole, a technique where exaggeration is used to create a strong effect.
Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.
Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.
In this passage from Walden, Thoreau the analogy is:
He is comparing life to a moving train
Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>
I felt fear drowning my senses, everything froze, I couldn't move a finger,....Yet I... I prayed for calm, wisdom and strength and concentrated on improving my mental state so that I could win this moment. I felt my energy draining away, my courage dying, but I didn't want to end like this, I needed to do something for myself, I needed to find myself and recognize myself. Therefore, with great difficulty, I got up, took a deep breath and decided to try one more time. Very scared, but determined to give myself one more chance, I forced myself to step outside.
