What does the story “How Much Land Does a Man Need?” focus on?
i read it long time ago but i think that it is about this man that he just wanted land in fact you can say that he was a little ambitious about it, first he just had a little bit of land he decides to move to this town that just by moving there they are going to give you a piece of land this was more that what he had first but still not enough so he goes to this culture to buy them land, and they said well you are going to decide how much land do you want you are going to walk by sunrise and everything you cover it will be yours but you have to come back before sun goes down. he covered a lot of land but i'm not sure if he died seconds before crossing the starting point or if he died after. not sure if he even die i think he did tho
so in what he focuses on it might be that you shouldn't let material stuff take over your life, and enjoy what we already have. there is a quote that i like on the way of searching for what we want we loose what we had. if you think about it all he's hard work was for nothing because he died at the end he didn't get what he wanted and lost what he had. A house a land and a wife. was it worth it???
hope it helped
