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 an advantage of renting a place to live? Lower up-front costs payments change from month to month low down payment incre
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Lower up-front costs

Explanation:

Renting a house to live in is a good idea for people who do not want to buy or own a property or wishes to live at a particular place permanently. Renting is also more appropriate for those people who currently do not have much amount of money to buy a property.

One more advantage of renting a house is the lower up front cost. People those who rents a house or take a house for lease would have to pay a lower amount of up front cost to the owner as advance money.

Marianna [84]

Based on the question above, Dickens did not consider the second man as a good listener.

<h3>Synopsis</h3>

From the text, he has clearly defined a good listener.

<h3 /><h3>Good listener</h3>

  • Knowing what to listen to, the good listener also knows what not to listen to; knowing the time to listen, he also knows the time to talk. When he feels that this time has come, it is clear that he must make a better talk.

<h3>Good talker</h3>

  • I also agree with Dickens on who a good talker or listener should be. A good talker knows the maxims of communication and so does a listener.

In conclusion, we can conclude that the correct answer is No. He would not consider him to be a good listener.

Which sentence is written correctly?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Everyone thought that the <em>Salvadoran</em> food was fabuloso!

Explanation:

The word Salvadoran is the name of the food being describe hence it can be italicized since it can also be rescinded or ignored in the sentence. However to help specify the reader's understanding of the writer's message the name is given. Moreover the predicate adjective faubuloso shouldn't be italicized.
