We can see in this sentence the gratitude Clark has towards Aunt Georgina. He is really thankful for the time they had spent and that she was the one who taught him everything that he knows about music. And on that note we can also see that music is the one thing that connects Aunt Georgina and Clark and it brings them closer together.

Shows that she's had experience with something that she loved so much but it was taken from her. It was like she was kind of warning Clark because she's had experience with loss. And that just shows the loss of music has impacted Aunt Georgina's life and that it may be has been blocking her from true happiness.

She was even a music teacher before she dropped everything and moved with her husband. The concert was a waking point for Aunt Georgina, it was a sudden realization of everything Aunt Georgina had lost. Even the question itself had shown that Aunt Georgina had been missing something in her life.

It woke up her spirit and soul, because in the beginning of the story we could barely see Aunt Georgina emotions. But the concert helped with that, it opened up something in her heart that had been shut down for a long time. This point of view creates meaning to the story because at the beginning of the story Aunt Georgina barely seemed interested about music, she barely spoke of it. It was like she wanted nothing to do with music, but concert broke that silence.

The way that Aunt Georgina has been living her life is different than Clark's, so we can see why Clark was judging her physical appearance because it's not something that he is used to.

This sentence to me is basically saying that the people should think for themselves. And what I mean by that is that the people should know right from wrong. And that the people should have their own opinions and views on things, instead of just agreeing with everything the government says and does. And that the people should respect what is right rather than what is the law. And that respecting the law too much can cause people to do the wrong thing.

But I also wanted to add on about this line, to me Thoreau is saying that the government is better when it's less involved with people's lives. To me I feel like Thoreau is saying that the government steals the right of people's lives. And obviously the people should do something about that but I feel like they don't care enough. And Thoreau is basically wanting the people to care more, in my opinion. But I do agree with everything else you said in this.

To me this sentence is saying that we should not always agree with the government view. And the people needs to do something about it. And more specifically the government view on slavery. And David Thoreau is basically protesting to end slavery. And that is why this is my favorite line in the whole text.

And reminding the White man or anyone that lives in America to never forget that. Tue, 13 Oct 2020 21:16:16 -0400
