Gerund phrase : telling his mother
noun use : object of preposition
Thoreau uses the description of the movement of the trees and the serenity of the lake to support the idea that true reflection is achieved through solitude, ideally while in nature. Thoreau believes that a oneness with nature and with the self are essential for becoming a more enlightened person, and that solitude is key ingredient for this. Thoreau describes the serenity of the lake and its distance from the storm, much as he would describe the serenity of the mind when far from the hustle and bustle of society.
