Overall, "homemade" is a positive thought, but it is something that I will never experience again, until I marry and start my own family.
5. Knowledge is power. Once he learned to read and write properly, a brand new world opened to him. He was able to freely lose himself in books, and express himself in a logical manner. All of this made him feel truly free.
