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 whip-poor-will 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 se
serenity is
rippled but not ruffled. These small waves
raised by the evening wind are as remote
from storm as the smooth reflecting
surface.
Consider the natural imagery in this passage.
Thoreau includes the image of the gently rippling
lake to
o describe his sense of serenity and
demonstrate that he feels connected to the
natural world
o show that a storm is coming and explain his
uneasiness about the storm.
o prove that he made the right choice in leaving
society to live in the woods alone.
o imply that the natural world is violent and
unpredictable, despite its gentle appearance,

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
