excerpt from “Solitude” by Henry David Thoreau This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself. As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me. The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night, and the note of the whippoorwill is borne on the rippling wind from over the water. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled. These small waves raised by the evening wind are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface. Though it is now dark, the wind still blows and roars in the wood, the waves still dash, and some creatures lull the rest with their notes. The repose is never complete. The wildest animals do not repose, but seek their prey now; the fox, and skunk, and rabbit, now roam the fields and woods without fear. They are Nature’s watchmen, —links which connect the days of animated life. . . . Some of my pleasantest hours were during the long rain storms in the spring or fall, which confined me to the house for the afternoon as well as the forenoon, soothed by their ceaseless roar and pelting; when an early twilight ushered in a long evening in which many thoughts had time to take root and unfold themselves. . . . Men frequently say to me, “I should think you would feel lonesome down there, and want to be nearer to folks, rainy and snowy days and nights especially.” I am tempted to reply to such,—This whole earth which we inhabit is but a point in space. How far apart, think you, dwell the two most distant inhabitants of yonder star, the breadth of whose disk cannot be appreciated by our instruments? Why should I feel lonely? Is not our planet in the Milky Way? This which you put seems to me not to be the most important question. What sort of space is that which separates a man from his fellows and makes him solitary? I have found that no exertion of the legs can bring two minds much nearer to one another. Read this excerpt from “Solitude” by Henry David Thoreau. The wildest animals do not repose, but seek their prey now; the fox, and skunk, and rabbit, now roam the fields and woods without fear. They are Nature’s watchmen —links which connect the days of animated life. How does Thoreau distinguish the natural world, perhaps in contrast to the human world? He describes the organized structure of the forest world. He describes the manner by which the forest sustains life. He characterizes nature by its lack of reservation. He characterizes nature by its constant alertness and activity.

Answer:

He characterizes nature by its constant alertness and activity.

Explanation:

Thoreau`s description of nature is characterized by contrast. He is calm, enjoys a walk by the lake, nothing upsets him, but the vice versa, he is breathing with the nature around him and follows its steps. On the other hand, nature, as always is alive, wind, clouds, waves, animals, everything is moving, living untouched by random visitors like Thoreau. So from the lively surroundings and eternally active spirit of nature, he extracts the feeling of peace.

I come from a small island named Puerto Rico. When I was 4 years old, I came to the United States in 2006 due to my health problems. At a young age, my parents work hard, so I will receive the best care possible. This inspired me to want to become a doctor. For that reason, my goal is to make it a priority to help those who suffer from health problems.

Which section of the poem contains a metaphor

But as I sent them on toward Scylla, I

told them nothing, as they could do nothing.

They would have dropped their oars again, in panic,

to roll for cover under the decking. Circe's

bidding against arms had slipped my mind,

so I tied on my cuirass and took up

two heavy spears, then made my way along

to the foredeck – thinking to see her first from there,

the monster of the grey rock, harboring

torment for my friends.

–The Odyssey,
Homer
