Thoreau uses several subordinate sentences, preventing the reader from stopping reading and having to finish a paragraph to have a complete understanding.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Subordinate sentences are sentences that do not have full meaning.
- These sentences need a complement to get a message across to the reader.
- In this case, these sentences reinforce the need to complete the reading, as the paragraph has to be read completely to be understood.
This is directly connected with Thoreau's intention in the text because by using subordinate sentences, he reinforces the idea that the reader has to finish the paragraph to understand the relationship he is establishing between ants and human beings.
