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>

I'm inferring that the answer is C because in the passage it states "I held on to my unforgiveness in the hopes that by drinking this poison I might kill my enemy." basically stating that she was holding a grudge against this person and she hoped that it would hurt them, then she proceeded on stating "But soon it was my insides that were burning.". metaphorically speaking her insides weren't actually hurting from any "poison", she is basically saying that she was the only one who was hurting from holding this grudge. I'm inferring that it is C because that answers makes the most sense.
His purpose in delivering the sermon is to warn his congregation in particular, and presumably, by extension, his nation as a whole, that they must repent of their sinful ways and turn to God for forgiveness before it is too late.
In the Odyssey, Eurycleia washes the feet of the beggar because A) the beggar reminds her of Odysseus, and she suspects that it is him.
In fact, it was him all along, pretending to be a beggar so that he could get closer to his wife Penelope.
