Thoreau was a philosopher, a naturalist and author. These propose the things that were significant to him. One of his quotes are, “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”A philosopher means a person who is looking for truth. He felt that he needed freedom to follow his study of nature and to have a mind that was able, pure, and unique. So philosophy and independence were two of the many things that were significant to him. He could not rely on completely on wildlife and his own awareness for teaching. Another thing that was significant to him was his writing. He wrote lots of words and his printed writings fill twenty volumes. So this appears that the three things that were significant to him was nature, philosophy, and freedom.

Why is corruption common in some African countries, such as Zimbabwe?
ella [17]
<span><span>A.      </span>Because the president rules the country like a dictator</span>

 In African countries like Zimbabwe where corruption exists, the power has been converted to tyranny. Information deficit is fairly common. People do not have freedom of expression. Mass media like newspapers, television and radios cannot exercise this freedom thus not being able to function as the watchdog of the public. Investigative journalism almost does not exist. The government is also the largest employer in these countries. They seize the opportunities to buy state properties at low prices. When the economy grows, it opens more chances for the government to get kickbacks such as in building projects that are poorly supervised.

2. How do the Irish workers at the docks treat Douglass? What do they encourage him to do?
Mrac [35]

Hi. Although you have not presented the text these questions refer to, from the context of the questions we can see that you are referring to chapter 7 of "Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass." So I hope the answers below can help you.

1. They treat Douglass kindly, as Douglasss was helping them finish the activities they were doing. They like Douglass and like his presence, so much so that they encourage him to flee to the north of the country, where slavery is prohibited.

2. The most important part of this part of the book is when Douglass hears the word "abolitionism" spoken by the Irish. This part is important because it shows how Douglass first came into contact with a concept that would be so important and so relevant in his life.

We must remember that "Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass" is the book where Frederick Douglass tells the story of his life as a slave and how he managed to become a free man through the education of self-knowledge.
