Answer and Explanation:

Emerson's gravestone is a large monument characterized by a large and imposing stone on which his name, date of birth, date of death and the phrase "The passive master lent his hand to the vast soul that over him planed. " All the delicacy and grandeur that Emerson's gravestone presents shows how he was a beloved writer by society and how his death was felt and accepted with regret.

Thoreau's gravestone, on the other hand, presents itself very differently, it is not imposing and large like Emerson's, but it is presented in a reduced size and with a stone where only the word "Henry" is written and just it. This shows that Thoreau was not so well liked by the population and his death did not cause so much commotion and regret, probably due to the positions he had on politics and society.

Instead of fresh, surprising language, we use terms all our readers can understand, even people who live on the other side of the globe. When we use an unusual term or abbreviation, we define it. We don’t want readers guessing what it means.

Instead of writing in long, flowing speeches, we use short, crisp sentences that have their own short rhythm. We know that the shorter the sentence, the easier it is to understand.

eimsori [14]

Trevor alludes the city of Gomorrah when talking about Alexandra as he draws comparison.

<h3>City of Gomorrah as described in the Bible</h3>

Gomorrah, as described is a notoriously sinful cities in the biblical book of Genesis, destroyed by “sulfur and fire” because of their wickedness.

Alexandra is a cramped, poor, black township in Johannesburg. As a result of being surrounded by wealthier white areas, it cannot expand, unlike Soweto. It follows from the text that after high school, Trevor spends a year hanging out with Sizwe in Alexandra, selling pirated CDs.
