How does Henry David Thoreau respond to people's interest in the news in the excerpt below from "Where I Lived and What I Lived For?
Hardly a man takes a half-hour's nap after dinner, but when he wakes he holds up his head and
asks, "What's the news?" as if the rest of mankind had stood his sentinels. Some give directions
to be waked every half-hour, doubtless for no other purpose, and then, to pay for it, they tell
what they have dreamed. After a night's sleep the news is as indispensable as the breakfast. "Pray
tell me anything new that has happened to a man anywhere on this globe" and he reads it over
his coffee and rolls, that a man has had his eyes gouged out this morning on the Wachito River,
never dreaming the while that he lives in the dark unfathomed mammoth cave of this world, and
has but the rudiment of an eye himself
He mocks the news and the people who obsess over it, implying that they are blind to
life and reality because of their news obsession
He is saddened by the people's interest in gossip and tragedy rather than "real" news
from around the world.
He doesn't believe that people are truly listening to the news and understand its
importance
He states that the news is leading to many deaths

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
