This single stick, which you now behold lying in that corner, I once knew in a flourishing state in a forest. It was full of sap

, full of leaves, and full of boughs; but now in vain does the busy art of man pretend to nature, by tying that withered bundle of twigs to its sapless trunk; it is now at best but the reverse of what it was, a tree turned upside-down, the branches on the earth, and the root in the air; it is now by every dirty wench, condemned to do her , and, by a capricious kind of fate, destined to make other things clean, and be nasty itself; at length, worn to the stumps in the service of the maids, it is either thrown out of doors or condemned to the last use—of kindling a fire. When I behold this I sighed, and said within myself, “Surely mortal man is a broomstick!” Nature sent him into the world strong and , in a thriving condition, wearing his own hair on his head, the proper branches of this reasoning vegetable, till the axe of intemperance has lopped off his green boughs, and left him a trunk; he then flies to art, and puts on a periwig, valuing himself upon an unnatural bundle of hairs, all covered with powder, that never grew on his head; but now should this our broomstick pretend to enter the scene, proud of those birchen spoils it never bore, and all with dust, through the sweepings of the finest lady’s chamber, we should be apt to ridicule and its vanity. Partial judges that we are of our own excellencies, and other men’s defaults! Reading - Informational Text (5.1) Cite Textual Evidence ID: 3820

Hey guys I just want to know what this means
lbvjy [14]
It just means that you need to write down how your journey with music has made you feel and what it means to you. For the wider social group part it means that have you met new people or connected with other people by liking the same kind of music. And then take that and connect it to your favorite musician or song.
