Answer:

Answer:The author uses playful, yet formal diction to show that slacking, or taking a break from busy activities, is important to success. The author encourages the reader to “embrace the joy of doing less” and uses a tone of admiration when describing the values of Montaigne, Thoreau, and Whitman.

By placing words such as retired and lazy in scare quotes, the author draws attention to the idea that what some consider lazy is actually a wise choice. The mood for the reader is peaceful, yet reflective. The author calls into question the common notion of slacking by using parallel structure for two contrasting ideas, stating, “Thoreau used time away from traditional work not to escape life but to embrace it.”

“Suddenly I’m Eve in the Garden after she ate the fruit…” (10). Why do you think the author used this analogy?

solmaris [256]

personal connection I can make with this quote is that I sometimes feel that I'm left all by myself. I feel like I can walk around my house naked and no one would even notice me. Sometimes I feel like I'm surrounded by people that don't even know me. It's very uncomfortable to feel like this sometimes when you're around your own family and feel like this.
