Write two to three sentences explaining how the image reinforces the text
Ludmilka [50]

When answer questions like this, it is important to think about what you are visualizing while reading the text.  This should help with your explanation.  To reinforce means to "back up or prove" with evidence.  For example, how would a picture of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. exhibit in Washington D.C. reinforce the speech he gave?  The picture proves that the speech as well as Dr. King himself were a powerful presence to all.  He was so important to the change of Civil Rights in our country that the monument is a testament to that change.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

“Nature“ – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Woman in the Nineteenth Century“ – Margaret Fuller  

“Walden“ – Henry David Thoreau

"Orphic Sayings" - Amos Bronson Alcott

Explanation:

<em>Nature </em>is a book written by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882) published in 1836. The book has a form of an essay, where the author discusses the relationship between humans and nature. According to Emerson, a man should find a sense of his life in nature and the universe that surrounds him and forget about money and any material goods.

<em>Woman in the Nineteenth Century</em> is an essay book by Margaret Fuller (1810 – 1846), published in 1843. In this essay, Fuller explains a women's position in society and explains that they aren't less capable than men. She criticizes gender inequality and society for establishing gender hierarchies and restricting women's rights.

<em>Walden </em>(<em>Walden, or, Life in the Woods</em>) is a book that consists of 18 essays by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), published in 1854. Walden describes how simple and pleasant our lives could be, based on his life in nature, in the cabin he built at Walden Pond.

<em>Orphic Sayings </em>is a book of 100 aphorisms by Amos Bronson Alcott (1799 – 1888), published in the transcendental journal <em>Dial </em>between 1840 and 1842. These sayings show us the mystical and transcendental idealism of Bronson Alcott and reveal some of his thoughts about life, nature, faith, time, etc.
