<span>I believe that this line has a literal and figurative meaning to it. The literal meaning would be that What your child does and what a child does is what is in there world and what they would live on from that world. Meaning that if your child is in a world of violence that the child will exhibit the violence and there fore lives on it, or in it. The figurative meaning would be your child lives on certain needs, they have the physical which is obvious, food, water, shelter, and then they have the mental needs which is what i believe this line is referring to. The mental needs would be that they need comfort, love, compassion. So what your child does, is what they need in life. If your child is acting in anger and aggression, they need compassion to live on.</span>

Why would it be a "remarkable thing" to get the doctor to come to the village?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Not knowing the story or excerpt you are referring to, I can only help you by asking some questions to get you thinking about the correct answer.  Is the village far away from other villages or towns?  Are there many sick people in the village making the doctor want to stay away?  Is there a lot of violence that the doctor is trying to avoid?  What is it about the village or the people in it that the doctor would be trying to avoid?  The answer to that questions is the answer to your question.
