Detailed explanation-1: -Thoreau’s writing style is dense with metaphor, and filled with sentences that pile on observation after observation, and reflection upon reflection, until, before you know it, you’ve gotten to the end of the paragraph without crossing nary a period.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thoreau’s rhetoric of paradox, indirection, authority, and irony works to define, interest, and ultimately involve the reader in a shared experience of discovery.
Detailed explanation-3: -His naturalistic writing integrated straightforward observation and cataloguing with transcendentalist interpretations of nature and the wilderness. In many of his works Thoreau brought these interpretations of nature to bear on how people live or ought to live.
Detailed explanation-4: -The author creates his argument with the use of the methods of appeal; pathos, an emotional appeal, ethos, an appeal based on proving credibility, and logos, an appeal to logic. Thoreau establishes his argument by using pathos most heavily, while using logos and ethos to support his position.
