Country Boy Quits School shows the importance of education to our lives. It clearly demonstrates how poor education may result to chaos and confusion to someone's life, even family. Just as much as it issues how significant education is, this story also addresses how not just books and teachers define education. The story Generosity on the other hand, shows the very irony of life during those times. No matter how hard one works, he is easily brought down by someone with a higher class, with no effort at all. We clearly see how large the gap between people of different classes really is.

The advancement of civilization not only brought about easy living for us, but also brought more problems, reflected by the two stories. Before, life is peaceful, and problems are not that big of a trouble. But now, people have become greedier and more power-hungry. During these dark times do we REALLY need people like Confucius!
