I’m not sure what the context was around this question but I think that “What did you have on” vs. “What were you having on” are both acceptable for asking this question. They most likely chose to say “What did you have on” because it’s asking in past tense and sounds better than asking “What were you having on”. There are multiple ways to ask questions, and say phrases. Most of the time it really just up to the writer, in your case of your english book to pick which they want to use.

In this passage from Walden, what analogy is Thoreau using?

zloy xaker [14]

Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.

Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.

In this passage from Walden, Thoreau the analogy is:

He is comparing life to a moving train

Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:

Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>
