<span> </span><span>He did not support the Mexican War and he felt that if he paid, that he was technically supporting it. I just read Civil Disobedience and it was very hard for me to understand. Thoreau seems to babble on and on, and then contradict himself.

But, I do know that he did not like the Mexican War and that he spent one night in jail for not paying his taxes. He would've stayed longer, but family members paid the tax for him.

SO THE ANSWER IS HE WAS SENT TO JAIL

Who the gardener really is in the story "The Gardener" ?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

There are many explorations to the question: who the gardener was. Some people say that he was only an employee. Some others say that he was Michael’s father, who was working there only to live by the grave of Michael. And the rest even argue that he was lord Christ himself as well. He said ‘son’ rather than ‘nephew’ while leading her to the grave.

But, I think that the gardener was the father of Michel himself. I think so only because the writer says that there was infinite compassion / endless love in his eyes. A human being who has the utmost respect and value for their ones only can have such an attribute. So, the gardener was Michel’s father. If it’s so, we can also guess that he had forgiven Helen for her crime.
