Hi, trinw!
I'll just elaborate on what Historical Fiction is.
Historical Fiction presents a story set in the past, often during a significant time period. n historical fiction, the time period is an important part of the setting and often of the story itself.
Historical fiction may include fictional characters, well-known historical figures or a mixture of the two. Authors of historical fiction usually pay close attention to the details of their stories (settings, clothing, dialogue, etc.) to ensure that they fit the time periods in which the narratives take place.
<span>In some historical fiction, famous events appear from points of view not recorded in history, showing historical figures dealing with actual events while depicting them in a way that is not recorded in history. Other times, the historical event or time period complements a story's narrative, forming a framework and background for the characters' lives. Sometimes, historical fiction can be for the most part true, but the names of people and places have been in some way altered.

Which story are you talking about, so I can help
Answer:
To begin, the purpose of the section is to describe human nature and how we as people interact with the world that we find ourselves in. As for the audience, it's truly all of us as a species. We have our differences, but Thoreau is under the impression there are some things we all have alike. The tone is rather formal, which sets up the theme of the piece quite well. Lastly, the rhetorical strategy used must be logos, since Thoreau is basing his argument off of human stimuli rather than emotions or credibility itself.
