Georgina was responsible for so much around the farm including cooking all of the meals, taking care of the 6 children, and teaching the children. This shows how strong and caring Georgina's character was and how independent she had to be in order to survive and succeed on the farm.

The first important thing is how the Aunt contributed to Clark’s education. She was the one that taught him Latin, Shakespeare, and music. Without her and the farm they lived on, Clark wouldn’t be the person he was.

It discusses the harsh conditions she had to live in and how that contributed to the way she looks now. This shows how strong her character is because after decades of having to live in these harsh environments, she still seems to be a strong person.

We can also tell that the relationship between the main character the man that wrote the letter are family members. He refers to the man who wrote the letter as "Uncle Howard" so that would make the main character the nephew of the man that wrote the letter. The man that wrote the letter mentions that his wife, the main characters Aunt, would be arriving at the train station in Boston the next day which means this story will probably be told by the nephew about the Aunts stay in Boston.

Throughout the section, there is a theme of how her soul seems to awaken again. Clark compares her soul to a strange moss that was placed on a dusty shelf, but would grow again if place in water. In this case, Georgina is the moss and being in the opera house around music is her water. This metaphor shows that Clark knows that Georgina's soul can almost renew itself after a long time of being away from what she loved.

They'd rather resolve blame than fix the issue. This is a problem, because we are trying to deal with issues to make this country better and not push them to the side for later. This is a really good example because it really shows individualism and how they only think for themselves.

In this sentence he says, "...and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor". He is talking about how the government is extremely controlling and limits the actions of its citizens. This is why he wants individualism for all, so everyone can be equal.

Education is a human right yet it is still being the individuals responsibility to obtain it. This represents the romantic era because in this era individualistic ideas was very important.
