Read the excerpt from walden.
i am on the alert for the first signs of spring, to hear the chance note of some arriving bird, or the striped squirrel’s chirp, for his stores must be now nearly exhausted, or see the woodchuck venture out of his winter quarters.
how do the images in the excerpt relate to thoreau’s overall quest in walden?
a. they illustrate that the beginning of spring has a greater meaning for the animal kingdom than for humans.
b. they demonstrate that thoreau has a greater understanding of animals now than he used to have.
c. they create a connection between thoreau’s experience and the solitary animals that he is observing.
d. they remind readers that humans are not the only beings to notice the arrival of spring.
i need the answer as soon as possible! you so much for me out!

idk that a good answer

explanation:

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.
