Answer:

He disagreed with the government's actions.

Explanation:

In his speech "Civil Disobedience",  Thoreau's disapproval of paying poll taxes have been disclosed. He was against the idea of paying the poll taxes. He was of the opinion that every citizen has the right to protest against the unjust laws. Thoreau was a strong believer of his conscience. He gave it more priority than following the laws blindly. According to him, the responsibility of the citizens is more towards disobeying the laws that are unjust and mean.

I can't give you an answer for most of these since they are personal questions, instead I will guide you through them.

1. <em>How are you affected by nature?</em> This one is simple. Just write about your thoughts on nature. <em>Do you find comfort in it?</em> This one is asking if nature is calming for you. <em>Do you reflect the mood of nature?</em> This one might be a little harder to understand, but all it's asking is if nature is if the calming or irritating (whatever mood you see in nature) is incorporated in your life.

2. <em>What is the role of nature in your life?</em> This one is similar to the first question, but it's asking how you interact with nature instead of your thoughts of it.

3. <em>What is meant by an individual's spiritual side? </em>Define what a "spiritual side" is using a textbook definition. <em>How do you define it?</em> Define what a "spiritual side" is using your own words.

4. <em>Is there a connection between the individual's spirit and nature?</em> Does one's spirit (not necessarily your spirit) and nature connect? <em>If so, what is that connection?</em> How do they connect?

5. <em>What does it mean to know something intuitively?</em> Define intuitively<em> For example, has a parent or a sibling ever known something was wrong with you without having talked with or seen you? </em>Have they? If so, you could probably use that in your writing as an example.<em> What do we mean when we say "I just know it"?</em> "Just knowing it" is the same thing as knowing something intuitively, but probably talk about how one would "just know it."

6. <em>How do you demonstrate that you are an individual?</em> You should give examples here on how you are an individual. Maybe you like to do things by yourself or you aren't heavily influenced by others thoughts and beliefs?<em> Do you think independently of others or do you follow the crowd? </em>Simply state if you fall into peer pressure in any way.

I hope you do well on your essay or whatever this is for :D
