Henry David Thoreau’s Walden

English
1 answer:
White raven [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer and Explanation:

When Thoreau says his house wasn't ready for winter and was just "a defense against the rain," he means the house he has built for himself is still unfinished. It does have walls and a roof, therefore being able to protect him against the rain. However, it does not yet have a chimney or plastering. The walls are made of boards, so he basically doesn't have much defense against the cold. Nevertheless, Thoreau begins to live in it anyway in the month of July, 1845.

What is one way you would describe the dictatorship in this story?
vichka [17]

Answer:

this is what i would say, I've read this b4 and had a question similar

Explanation:

One way I would describe dictatorship in the story is when the man was using his power to hurt Nina when she kept saying that she doesn’t know where the general is. They beat her up badly, and didn’t let her go to her son, even when she implored* that he was going to die. She had no way to escape especially since she was feeble*. This person, is a barbarous* and egocentric* person that only cares about his power, and that tries his best to get what he wants and not in a good way,: “Well if you won’t answer we’ll make you crush some quicklime and see if that reminds you which way the general went!...One of the men guarding the door pushed her roughly to the ground; another gave her a kick which laid her flat...At twenty to five they left her lying unconscious on the ground….“Oh my son is dying! Oh my son is dying! Oh my life, my little one, my life! For God’s sake come! Open up, for God’s sake, open the door! My son is dying! Holy Virgin! Blessed Saint Anthony! Jesus of Saint Catherine!”. This conveys that this dictatorship shown here in the text is cruel and he doesn't care what type of person he beats up, he tries his best to get what he wants even if it means hurting  people and killing them.

1*= begged

2*= week

3*= exceedingly brutal

4*= selfish; only cares about himslef

i really hope that this helped :D
