I believe Thoreau was trying to get the point across about how closely related we are to nature. ]

Without adjectives, this paragraph would be very boring and bland. In the writing there wouldn't be any way to give depth, such as " two large ants", without adjectives it would just be "two ants". WIthout adjectives, nothing would be interesting, and you wouldn't be able to show any depth via description.

Generalization is a general statement obtained by inference from specific cases. Thoreau makes inferences on everything in nature. He infers that all animals fight the same. All fights are drawn out into a war.

Without adjectives in the paragraph that we read, we would not be able to tell what was going on. Thoreau describes the two different groups of ants by using color and size, he also describes the difference in strength. Thoreau also discusses the ferocity of the insects. Without adjectives, he wouldn't have been able to tell which ant was fighting which and it would be a very dull and confusing paragraph.

Thoreau is saying that the ants and humans aren't as different as he thought. The ant society was in the midst of a fight and humans fight a lot too. I believe Thoreau does this to bring this rationalization to reality. If Thoreau wouldn't have witnessed this instance then he would still believe that nature and humans are more different than he imagined.

Thoreau makes a comment about society. The commentary was that humans and animals are that different to each other. This is because he compares ants fighting as soldiers do.

Generalization is a general statement or concept obtained by inference from specific cases. Henry Thoreau makes the generalization that all things in nature, are the same in the way they think and act. He believed that humans are the same as both animals and plants. In the way we think and act, I can definitely see why he would come to the conclusion he did.

The absence of adjectives throughout the story would result to cluelessness. This story heavily relies on adjectives because they give an exact description of Thoreau's experience. The adjectives are also important because even removing simple adjectives such as "red" and "black" because these colors are the root of how the ants are different.

1- Generalization is taking something more specific and making it more borader or universal. Thoreau describes the actions and qualities of the ants and compares them to humans. He generalizes it by assuming or making the statement that all animals are alike and have the same instincts. This generalization is a good contribution to the theme of the story.

4.) The paragraph would be completely different without adjectives. Without adjectives you won't be able to describe anything. It Thoreau wouldn't be able to describe how the ants were at war. How the war was like humans fighting a war.

One illusion used was a reference to greek mythology. Thoreau alludes to Achilles who left the battle but rejoined when he saw that his friend was killed. This shows the relationship between the ants and how they will fight stronger when they are offended or hurt emotional. Humans also act the same.

Generalization is basically summing up a long paragraph. It gives you the general idea. He summarizes the long stanzas of the ants and how he describes them. Throughout the 2 pages we read, we got the main idea from it and that is generalization.

The commentary that Thoreau makes about society is that we are no different then these ants. When it comes to the survival of ants as a species, they are very similar if not the same as humans. When different species of ants compete for dominance, its all out war. Humans are the exact same way. We as a species compete with each other for power. To sum it up, we're no different than the ants that Thoreau describes.
