Elements that make "Walden" a memoir:

- It is told from a first-person point of view.

- It focuses on an important experience.

- It provides information about the author's life.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau's "Walden" is a memoir, because it's about his very personal experience of living close to nature, leading a simple lifestyle in the cabin he built and his reflections on this experience.

It's an account of the author's personal point of view and it's told from a first-person point of view.

The other explanations do not match the definition of a memoir, because taking place over a short period of time does not necessarily make it a memoir (so could a novel or a short story), containing primarily transcendental ideas does not make it a memoir (so could other types of text as well) and emphasizing studying nature doesn't mean it's personal (so could a descriptive text).

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
