Colon ultimately decided to leave the woman and her children without offering them his help.
Explanation:
"Little Things Are Big" is an article written by Jesús Colón. The article talks about one of his experiences at the subway during the midnight hours. Colon mentions that he happened to come across a white woman in her twenties carrying her three children, one in arm and two on foot, and a medium sized valise. The woman was having trouble to board the train all by herself having so much to handle and take care. The writer seeing her struggles wanted to lend his help but as he was a Puerto Rican negro, he became conscious if the woman will receive any help from him or not. After contemplating many thoughts in his mind, he decided not to help them. He writes that he failed the woman, the children, and himself on the early morning of Memorial Day.

Explanation:
You sort of have to combine the feeling Thoreau had about nature, individuality, spirituality and civil disobedience to get the idea what he would have thought about war.
He would oppose war with every fiber of his being.
To him, war was a reflection of what was the worst in mankind. There is no nobility in war. Spirituality would especially oppose it, since in his mind spirituality meant serving what is above your head without compensation of any kind (and that last includes things that you would never think of).
Civil disobedience would dictate action of some kind. Vietnam and Civil Rights were not the only things being upheld by people who were transcendentalists by nature. Not participating in society at all would have been something Thoreau would have agreed with.
War would have been at the very bottom of those activities he would have upheld and civil disobedience would have been his first response to governments that have run amok in his mind. The ideas contained in Walden would be confirmed in the evil of the civil war.
Anyway, the book reflects many of the key Transcendentalist themes, including the importance of individualism, the necessity of maintaining a connection to nature, and spirituality.
This is True. The romantic period felt that the heart should be followed instead of reason and that rules and restraint destroy our potential.
