The analogy of growing corn suggests the idea of working hard and recognizing your worth and who you are while the plot of ground conveys the idea of being 'self-reliant' and believing in one's actions.
Explanation:
The question is asked in the context of Ralph Waldo Emerson's most acknowledged essay titled 'Self-Reliance' which primarily focuses on preaching the idea of believing in one's self and chasing one's own thoughts and actions. He uses a variety of metaphors to throw light upon this idea. The <u>metaphor of corn helps him to emphasize the significance of working hard and believing in your own actions, thoughts, and individual self instead of blindly following the rat race</u>. <em>The plot of the ground suggests the firmness and determination to stand by your own actions and keep growing and enhancing knowledge(through your toil) on your own 'plot of ground'(thoughts). </em>
