excerpt from the “Where I Lived and What I Lived For” section of Walden by Henry David Thoreau

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws, and with it I would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors I judge; and here I will begin to mine.

How does Thoreau’s style contribute to the meaning of the text?

Select the two correct answers.


The words “my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws” show that both people and animals act mostly on instinct.

Thoreau’s comparison of his head to his “hands and feet” develops the idea that people’s thoughts drive their actions and take them where they want to be.

Thoreau’s comparison of time to “the stream I go a-fishing in” conveys the idea that most people go through life waiting for something to happen.

The metaphor “the intellect is a cleaver” emphasizes the strength and force of the mind as a powerful tool.

Answer:

B.) Thoreau’s comparison of his head to his “hands and feet” develops the idea that people’s thoughts drive their actions and take them where they want to be.

D.) The metaphor “the intellect is a cleaver” emphasizes the strength and force of the mind as a powerful tool.

Explanation:

Thoreau’s comparison of time to “the stream I go a-fishing in” conveys the idea that most people go through life waiting for something to happen and  The metaphor “the intellect is a cleaver” emphasizes the strength and force of the mind as a powerful tool are Thoreau’s style contribute to the meaning of the text. Hence, options B and D are correct.

"Time is only the stream I go a-fishing in," wrote Henry David Thoreau in Walden. As I pour myself a drink, though, I become aware of the shallowness of the sandy bottom. Even when its feeble tide slips away, eternity endures. I would take a deeper sip of my beverage and watch the stars in the rocky sky.

Even though time is limited, eternity lasts. Time eludes us; we are unable to comprehend it. If you want to succeed in life, you must manage your time and use it to your advantage.

Thus, options B and D are correct.
