Read the excerpt from Walden.

Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlor of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants. Heaven is under our feet is well as over our heads.

completely round.) No, the side view is what I want. (Cecily presents her profile.) Yes, quite as I expected. There are distinct social possibilities in

Read this excerpt from "Eavesdropping" by Eudora Welty and answer the question.

What they talked about, I have no idea … . It was no doubt whatever a young married couple spending their first time privately in each other’s company in the long, probably harried day would talk about. It was the murmur of their voices, the back-and-forth, the unnoticed stretching away of time between my bedtime and theirs, that made me bask there at my distance. What I felt was not that I was excluded from them but that I was included, in – and because of – what I could hear in their voices and what I could see of their faces in the cone of yellow light under the brown-scorched shade.

I played on till dusk
Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
And calling out in desperation things like
"Yours” and "take it,” but doing all right,
Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set.
"Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.
