Napoleon had been very sly from the outset. It is clear from the differences in opinion between him and Snowball that he saw him as a threat. Since he wanted sole power, he secretly trained Bluebell and Jessie's nine puppies in a loft after having removed them from their mothers once they were weaned. No one realized what his plan was with them at the time. It soon became apparent that Napoleon had been training...

In this excerpt from Walden by Henry David Thoreau, what can be inferred about where transcendentalist thinkers searched for divinity?

Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself. I have been as sincere a worshipper of Aurora as the Greeks. I got up early and bathed in the pond; that was a religious exercise, and one of the best things which I did. They say that characters were engraven on the bathing tub of King Tchingthang to this effect: "Renew thyself completely each day; do it again, and again, and forever again." I can understand that. Morning brings back the heroic ages. I was as much affected by the faint hum of a mosquito making its invisible and unimaginable tour through my apartment at earliest dawn, when I was sitting with door and windows open, as I could be by any trumpet that ever sang of fame. It was Homer's requiem; itself an Iliad and Odyssey in the air, singing its own wrath and wanderings. There was something cosmical about it; a standing advertisement, till forbidden, of the everlasting vigor and fertility of the world. The morning, which is the most memorable season of the day, is the awakening hour.

He also talked about the inscription on King Tchingthang's bathtub "Renew thyself completely each day; do it again, and again, and forever again."

Even in moments of weakness, we are still responsible for our actions. Do you agree with this statement? Explain you perspective

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Yes, I do agree with this. I know from experience myself. I've done some bad things and at that moment I blamed it on the people I was hanging around or other things, but looking back I realize that I am in control of my own body, no body else. No body made me make the decision I did, it was all me. And in times of weakness is when we are most vulnerable to make these bad decisions. This can occur when drinking and smoking, or simple hanging out with friends. Studies have shown that people think different and act different when drinking, drugs, or peer pressure is involved. For example, normally I wouldn't smoke, but if I am with my friends and they are, then yes most likely I will too. I was in a time of weakness, but as humans we have to learn to say no sometimes.
