Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is.

Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. In the excerpt, Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate?

Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate time in the excerpt. The second sentence is saying that he is in the midst of time/living, and he can "detect how shallow it is," meaning that he is aware that life is short and that the end is inevitable. Thoreau also describes time as being fleeting, but ever-present.
I hope this helps!

Which three sentences In the story indicate that that the passage is an ex nihilo type of creation story?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

  • There was as yet no man, nor any animal, nor bird, nor fish, nor crawfish, nor any pit, nor ravine, nor green herb, nor any tree; nothing was but the firmament.
  • Lo, now how the heavens exist, how exists also the Heart of Heaven; such is the name of God; it is thus that he is called.  
  • And the creation was verily after this wise: Earth, they said, and on the instant it was formed; like a cloud or a fog was its beginning.

Explanation:

Creation ex nihilo is one type of creation myth, along with creation through the Earth diver, creation from the chaos, creation by the dismemberment of a world parent, and creation by emergence.

Ex nihilo is a Latin expression that means "out of nothing". Creation ex nihilo refers to a creation believed to being done from nothing, usually through the words of a deity. In this example, the sentences that establish creation being done when nothing yet existed, and earth being created by God naming it, allow us to recognize it´s an ex nihilo creation story.

What does it mean to be brave? What motivates people to be brave? How did Díaz finally confront his fears, and what was the resu
laila [671]

Incomplete question. The complete question reads;

In the context of the text, what does it mean to be brave? How did Díaz finally confront his fears, and what was the result? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and  other literature, art, or history in your answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the text, to show how fear drives action an excerpt from the novel <em>Dune </em>was mentioned by the narrator, he said "<em> </em><em>‘‘Fear is the mind-killer,’’ </em><em>and let me tell you, my man knows of what he speaks. When the brothers appeared, I couldn’t think for nothing. </em><em>I would drop whatever I was doing  and get away, and it was only later, after I calmed down, that I would realize what I had done." </em>In other words, it pursues one into running from the object or subject of fear. Motivation to be brave often comes from the fact that it is the only way out attaining freedom from fear.

Díaz said he finally confronted his fears when he no longer fled from his bullies, in fact, he said,

<em>"I forced myself to stop. </em><em>I forced myself to turn toward them, </em><em>and it felt as if the whole world was turning with me. I couldn’t make myself walk toward them, I could barely even look at them, </em><em>so I settled for standing still</em><em>. As the brothers approached, the ground started tilting out from under me. One of them scowled. A</em><em>nd then, without a word, they walked past</em><em>"</em>
