It represents his struggles through his younger days and shows that the world is not perfect. Life is not something you can just leave it is a challenge that you have to face and deal with .
Through his writings, he shows the virtues we need to achieve moral perfection and become a better person. It also shows the struggle most people have, that is not having an easy life and good conditions, but it does not stop them from having a successful life. He also shows things we need to know and realize to our own lives.
I learned that he had a hard life trying to get a job but he was a very intelligent man. He was also very generous at an extent. I did learn that no matter what though you should give up and keep trying to succeed.
He had a hard life as a young man and but was a smart person for his time period. He worked hard for what he wanted and thought that every one should strive to achieve there goals.
