Provide an objective summary of the essay “civil disobedience” by henry david thoreau. what is the central purpose and meaning of thoreau’s essay?

In “Civil Disobedience,” Thoreau writes about the government at the time. He speaks about the unfair taxes that people are forced to pay and considers it unpatriotic to pay taxes that support unjust wars simply because the government and society says that it is your duty to pay taxes. What he does consider patriotic and ethical is resisting a corrupt government with a view for creating a better government in the future. Thoreau believes that civil disobedience is just when the government and greater society are acting corruptly or despotically. Thoreau concludes “Civil Disobedience” with a mention of how he actually respects the US Constitution and believes that it creates a great system, but when an injustice arises, this governing document must be questioned by the people to amend and improve it.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
