Question

Is there a serious deeper message in Forster's essay, a point Forster tries to make? If so, what is it? Does he do this in an effective manner in your opinion? You probably have something you value highly. Do you feel the same about it as Forster about his property? How important is it for you to own things?

Answer 1

There is a deeper message in Forster's essay.

Forster, in his essay titled "The woods" reveals the effects of properties on their owners. He explains how properties require a lot from their owners, they serve as burdens to their owners and yet the owners keep wanting more.

Yes, he effectively expresses his opinions in clear terms that can be well understood by the readers.

I get curious and find it exciting to own properties, but as soon as I own them, they tend to take much of my attention than necessary just as Forster claimed. The importance of owing things despite this supposed shortcoming  cannot be overemphasized.
