How does thoreau's style contribute to the meaning of the text?
A) the question “how could I have looked him in the face?” Shows that Thoreau is skeptical of people who claim to have found spiritual enlightenment
B)Thoreau explains that, for him, the beginning of the day is when he is most productive by sharing, “morning is when I am awake and there is dawn in me.”
C)the question “why is it that men give so poor an account of their day if they have not been slumbering?” Conveys the idea that people are dissatisfied with life because they wasted their time working at jobs rather than working on their minds.
D)Thoreau compares the desire to stay awake to the pursuit of spiritual growth by standing, “moral reform is the effort to throw off sleep.”
