Explanation:

Throughout his life, Thoreau emphasized the importance of individuality and self-reliance. He practiced civil disobedience in his own life and spent a night in jail for his refusal to pay taxes in protest of the Mexican War. ... It is thought that this night in jail prompted Thoreau to write Civil Disobedience.

Thoreau begins Civil Disobedience by saying that he agrees with the motto, "That government is best which governs least." Indeed, he says, men will someday be able to have a government that does not govern at all. As it is, government rarely proves useful or efficient.

To Autumn

Answer:

The inference that can be drawn from "To Autumn" is:

A. Autumn is a peaceful and abundant season, full of natural beauty.

The evidence that supports the answer in Part A is:

A. "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness . . . Conspiring . . . how to lead and bless With fruit the vines . . . And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core."

Explanation:

John Keats was an English Romantic poet, born in 1795, dead in 1821 at the age of only 25. In his poem "To Autumn", Keats describes the season with vivid imagery, praising its abundance. Especially in the first stanza, Keats describes in detail how fruitful autumn is - how fruits and flowers are abundant. They grow ripe, succulent and sweet, thanks to blessed autumn. Keats does not describe autumn as being inferior to spring. Quite the contrary, he says both seasons have their songs. He also describes the transition from autumn to winter beautifully, peacefully. There is no sadness in his description, but the very opposite, with images of noisy animals, rivers, and winds.
