Thoreau was visited by people that he was close with and by others that he was not, but
yet seemed take away something of value from each of them. In short, he doesn't blow
anyone off. Should we be that way? Are we that way? Explain!

i am confused, i do not see a speech unless you mean the

question

what’s the topic your looking for

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
