According to this excerpt from Walden, in which subject area did the transcendentalist thinker Thoreau most likely find his insp

iration? This small lake was of most value as a neighbor in the intervals of a gentle rain-storm in August, when, both air and water being perfectly still, but the sky overcast, mid-afternoon had all the serenity of evening, and the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore. A lake like this is never smoother than at such a time; and the clear portion of the air above it being, shallow and darkened by clouds, the water, full of light and reflections, becomes a lower heaven itself so much the more important. From a hill-top near by, where the wood had been recently cut off, there was a pleasing vista southward across the pond, through a wide indentation in the hills which form the shore there, where their opposite sides sloping toward each other suggested a stream flowing out in that direction through a wooded valley, but stream there was none. That way I looked between and over the near green hills to some distant and higher ones in the horizon, tinged with blue. human behavior nature civil war history nonconformity

The correct answer is: Nature.

"Walden" was a book reflecting Thoreau's thoughts upon living a simple life in natural surroundings.

Thoreau was a transcendalist thinker, meaning that he believed in the inherent goodness of people and nature.

In this excerpt, Thoreau talks about a beautiful lake and how it is lit and darkned by the sun and the clouds until it resembles a "lower heaven."

The answer is "Nature"
The scene described in Walden focuses heavily, if not exclusively, on nature and the effect that the natural wonder of Walden Pond had on Thoreau. This is also the most key element of Transcendentalism: the search for enlightenment not in man-made society but in the natural world.

What is the difference between renaissance and the reformation
Liula [17]

Answer:

Renaissance is mostly a cultural movement, while reformation is a movement inside the Catholic church.

Explanation:

  • The Reformation was the name for religious movements against the papacy and the Catholic Church in the 16th century. From these movements new religious communities emerged, independent of the papacy.
  • The most important initiators of the Reformation were Martin Luther in Germany, Zwingli and Calvin in Switzerland.
  • Supporters of the Reformation separated from the Catholic Church, proclaimed Scripture as the sole source of faith and spread their teaching in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, England and the Scandinavian countries.
  • The Renaissance marks the period when art, culture and intellectual endeavors turned to the classical art and teachings of Greece and Rome.
  • The past so revived, in which Renaissance artists and scholars found inspiration to develop and explore new ideas and practices, influenced all arts and sciences.

Both. The justice system was created for a reason. Incarceration is to give the offenders time to learn in hopes that they don’t repeat offenses. But I also think that treatment should be mandatory either during or after time served.
