The essay by Henry David Thoreau in which he makes more elaborate use of metaphor is "Walden, or, Life in the Woods" (1854).
In this essay, Thoreau uses more elaborate metaphor to convey the ideas of nonindividuality and to show how the human mind is easily influenced as the Earth's soil is marked by the steps of others.
The way in which he describes and metaphorizes nature and human existance in the space of Walden Pond contributes to adapt complex and abstract ideas of humanistic guidance into understandable language.

Abraham carries on by saying that even if our people try to show their full potential, our people who have already died for us or have been fighting for us ,have made our nation more stronger that there could ever be, and we should not take credit for it , but what we should do is to proceed to fight for what they have started and proceed to finish this fight to the dedication of brave men who have made this country a better place.
