Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.
Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.
In this passage from Walden, Thoreau the analogy is:
He is comparing life to a moving train
Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>
The correct answer is A. To encourage readers to recognize and embrace diversity
Explanation:
In essays and other texts, the purpose is the main reason or motivation for the author to write a text. This purpose is usually expressed through main ideas and sub-ideas during all the text.
In the case of Mora's essay the purpose is "to encourage readers to recognize and embrace diversity" this is because form the beginning Mora refers to diversity, this can be seen in "One-third of this nation now traces its heritage to regions other than Western Europe", which shows the importance of diversity. Also, this idea is supported when the author invites readers to embrace this diversity by stating "I urged... all of us to ponder the strength of the mountains around us" considering the "mountains" represent the diversity and heritage.
