Describe a time when you helped someone selflessly

In this passage from Walden, what analogy is Thoreau using?

zloy xaker [14]

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 that falls on the rails.

Identify the type of clause or phrase in the sentence below.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:(C). Subordinate clause.

Explanation:

Subordinate clauses are defined as the clauses that usually begin with a subordinating conjunction and depend on the principal clause to accomplish its meaning. Thus, these clauses primarily function to compliment the meaning of the original meaning of the sentence by adding information to it. As per the question, the type of clause that could be identified in the given sentence would be 'subordinate clause'('As the fireworks roared and exploded overhead') as it begins with the subordinating conjunction 'as' and is dependent on the main clause to accomplish its meaning. However, it is followed by the main clause('Brandon....show') but on the very first note, one can observe the dependent clause. Thus, option C is the correct answer

hope you pass:3

Which scenario is an example of a theme for a story

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

Explanation:

According to the Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory, “the theme of a work is not its subject but rather its central idea, which may be stated directly or indirectly. For example, the theme of Othello is jealousy.”

There could be one or more themes in a story. To understand the idea, one could ask, what is the story trying to talk about, or what is/are the underlying message/s or concept/s or idea/s that is/are being put forward or portrayed through various characters and instances?

In light of this, let us examine each statement carefully.

Dorothy is a dreamer who wants to see other places

This statement essentially talks about the character, Dorothy, and not the idea of the story.

Bilbo goes on a journey and becomes a hero

This statement talks about what happens with one of the characters of the text, or the story of the character, which is also not the theme, as it is hard to say what the central idea of the story could be.

The story takes place in a dark, dense forest

This is clearly the setting of the story, describing the location where the story unfolds.

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

This statement could be the central idea of a story, or its underlying message, and can be portrayed in numerous ways. Hence, this could be an example of a theme for a story.

Note: However, it is important to note that the moral of the story isn’t necessarily its theme. The theme could very be any other idea regardless of whether that is also the moral of the story.
