<span>the soil 
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod. 

We need to get the line correct. And we need to go back just a little bit to get the tone. The short answer is that the first stanza of the poem ends with this line. It is a particularly difficult and subtle poem to read because most of the meaning is hidden from us.  The line that you asking about means that we are so tamed by civilization that we cannot walk in nature without shoes. We cannot feel the good earth because our feet are too frail to walk on ground.

But to get the full impact you have to go back to the end of the previous line and get it's meaning as well. "The soil is bare" means that nothing will grow on soil that has been stripped clean and all its nutrients robbed by man's interference and stupidity, and his inability to understand what he is doing to the land.

It is as though he (man) is feeding the soil with nothing but ice cream, robbing it of its ability to regenerate itself. As a result, the soil is now barren weakened by inattentiveness.

And we cannot walk in her without something between us and the soil. 

It's a sad and angry poem.  </span>

What kind of essay is Walden?
irina1246 [14]
<span> Since Walden is based on the author's personal experience which he decided to share, this book can be considered as a narrative essay. In his book,  Henry David Thoreau represents all his life experiences and realizations that came up to him when he was living in natural surroundings. In a narrative essay, the writer tells a story about a real-life experience, so I bet that Walden belongs to this kind.</span>

Read the rough-draft paragraph. Studies support the claim that volunteering on a regular basis actually benefits one’s general p
Naya [18.7K]
<span>At the beginning of the paragraph, the topic is about how volunteering is beneficial for one's general health as it may include minor-to-moderate physical activity and reduces chronic pain and heart disease symptoms. Then, it explains that not all voluntary work may fulfill this need due to their sedentary nature, and how such should be combined with actual physical activity. From there, the paragraph goes on to say which are examples of everyday activities that can be turned into exercise, which completely diverts from the original idea.

</span>Therefore, your best answer is <span><u>The paragraph contains sentences that wander from the main topic.</u></span>
