The central idea shows that for progress to happen, people must burn down existing structures and move forward, as shown in option C.

Through questions similar to yours, we can see that you are referring to the section "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For" written by Thoreau in the book "Walden."

By reading this section, we can see that:

  • Thoreau believed that for society to progress, it would be necessary to abandon existing social and political structures.
  • This abandonment would promote equality in the population and allow everyone to detach themselves from material goods and any kind of wealth.
  • Thus, people would enter a state of "voluntary poverty" where they would not worry about their status and would strive to strengthen their spirits and minds, promoting individual progress, which would automatically promote social progress.

Thus, we can say that for Thoreau, progress did not walk in communion with the structures determined by society that valued wealth and social hierarchy.

NEED ANSWER ASAP!!! Compare the written description of the Boston Massacre to the image depicting this historical event. Which d
Mademuasel [1]

Both the painting and the written description depict a scene where both sides of the conflict seem completely confused as to the real reason for what it turned out to be a deadly confrontation.

The written account elaborates somewhat methodically the actions that led, step by step to the escalation of what originally was nothing but an argument between a soldier or sentry and a robe maker. The perennial curiosity of the nearby masses and the somewhat well established intransigence of law enforcement individuals clashed drastically and led to a tragic result that could've been easily avoided if cooler heads had prevailed. The depiction of the man in charge of the soldiers as a man not fit for the job seems to confirm the fact that a more disciplined superior would've been able to restrain his forces until the situation or issue at stake was clarified among the quarreling parties.

Finally, the painting only depicts the firing of the lined up soldiers against a revolting crowd on the other side but provides no clues as to what was the reason that led to the moment being depicted when the bayonets are being fired at short range in a firing squad like manner.

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Okay, I don't have a sense of morale. Like, at all. I don't know what the technicalities of this situation are, but of course. Danger means you're going to most likely die right? So you either get money and fame, or you die. Either way it would be a win.

Okay that was probably not helpful, so, give me specifics and I'll try to help a little better
