<span>Thoreau appeared to both a pacifist and a rebel in this passage. He says in paragraph 7 to go at one's pace and to not answer the call of society just because one feels obligated. He is saying that we should not fret over something just because it is present and others fret over it. He sets this up in paragraph 6 by saying if man would just stop for a second and consider what is permanent and not fleeting (the temporary pain, problem), then he would find all that is important are things of great important and permanence. So he says to the whistle that it can just continue to, well, whistle. He realizes the great truth that he cannot control what others do, or what things cry for attention, but he can certainly control whether or not let reacts to it.</span>

Writing a Postcard.
spayn [35]

Answer and Explanation:

This is an example of how to write a post card with the information in the instructions. Feel free to change the place so that it will be more realistic:

Dear …,

Here I am, up north, to finally see the Niagara Falls! I told you this day would come!

We arrived a couple of days ago and, although the trip itself has been nice, the weather has been nasty – rainy and windy. Yesterday, since it was raining cats and dogs, we had to stay at the hotel. The rooms are bigger than I expected. The beds are comfortable, and they keep it all very clean, which you know is one of my pet peeves.

Today, we will finally go see the Falls. I’m writing this as I wait for the others at the reception. After finishing our tour there, we will have dinner to celebrate the safe trip.

And how are things with you? What’s the weather like in London right now? Write to me soon!

Kruka [31]
It's certainly sensory. And it's figurative too. I think I'd pick figurative because the central piece of language is a simile. That's pretty good use of language when you compare the bobbing heads of flowers to helmeted soldiers.
