Is this like a true or false question
Answer:
Imagery in literature refers to the use of words and analogy that appeals to the five senses.
Starting with Paragraph 7, the narrator states that after her lofty dreams of America, the fact that she needs to work to pay for her next meal and rent brought her back to reality...in her own words she states <em>"I had to put my feet down on earth"</em>
Another example of imagery used can be found in paragraph 1. She calls out to America for understanding as there are many immigrants who were beating out their heart at its gates. In other words, there are many immigrants who seek to enter into America. She speaks as though America were a living being.
The act of immigration is typified by the beating of hearts at America's gates.
In paragraph 5 she speaks of <em>hidden sap of centuries that would find release -colours that never saw light. </em>
The last part of that sentence is a good use of imagery as colour and light are very visual.
Cheers.

Answer:
A man is <em>'always a child'</em> in the woods as it is only the child spirit within a man that recognizes the beauty of nature as it is.
The central idea presented by Waldo in the essay is that in nature a man tends to meet and find his best self. The sentence that supports this is, "In the woods, we return to reason and faith."
Explanation:
"Nature" is an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson. The essay is drawn from the materials Emerson had recorded in sermons, lectures, and journals.
In the essay, Emerson states that a man has to cast off his age (matureness) to comprehend nature as it is, just like a snake casts off his slough.
A man is <em>'always a child' </em>in the woods as only the spirit child within a man can truly comprehend nature as it is, unlike an adult who manipulates nature.
The central idea that Emerson presents in the essay is that it is in nature a man finds his best self. The sentence that best supports this is, <em>"In the woods, we return to reason and faith."</em>
