Answer:

He means that if we would deliberate more and put things in perspective, all men would become students and observers because property and material possessions are mortal and would not stay forever, but truth is immortal and never dies.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau is a writer who is known for the simplicity of hissliterary works.

He sought to remove himself from all forms of social life and move closer to nature so he moved into a cabin he built on Walden Pond to reminisce.

His book <em>Walden</em> shows some of his experiences in the cabin he stayed in. He effectively said from his ode <em>Walten: </em>

<u><em>"With a little more deliberation in the choice of their pursuits, all men would perhaps become essentially students and observers, for certainly their nature and destiny are interesting to all alike. </em></u><u><em>In accumulating property for ourselves or our posterity, in founding a family or a state, or acquiring fame even, we are mortal; but in dealing with truth we are immortal, and need fear no change nor accident."</em></u>

Define the conflict in the following statements and determine its type.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Character v Self

Explanation:

In literary works, a conflict is a struggle between two opposing forces. In the example above, the character seems to be in a confused mental state which limits his ability to properly coordinate himself.  This can be realized through his disembodied voice.

His lack of coordination while punching in the numbers also shows how unstable he was. We can therefore conclude that the character is experiencing a conflict within himself.
