In this passage from Walden, what analogy is Thoreau using?

English
1 answer:
zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
3 0

Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.

Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.

In this passage from Walden,  Thoreau the analogy is:

He is comparing life to a moving train

Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:

Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>

You are writing an essay describing a famous painting. Which pattern of ORGANIZATION would be BEST for this essay:
Artemon [7]
This question, I believe, is very subjective. Depending on the actual painting, what the parts are in the rubric of an assignment, etc. I would go with B.) Chronological because the essay is seeming to be informative, and most essays that are informative are best with either Chronological organization or Order of Importance. Though, the popularity with the Chronological organizational pattern seems to speak for itself. I hope I was able to help!
