Essay #1, Give me feed back!

Essay #1 George Eliot once personified leisure as a man whom lived life in a form that is near extinction today. To Eliot leisure was taking the times to stop and smell the roses, not about getting your book club novel of “The Other Boleyn Girl” done, or checking something off the list. It was literally doing nothing and being content. Unfortunately for Eliot, She lived in an age of activity. With the advancement of the industrial revolution, even free time was done “doing” something, farthing something, knowledge, and activity. The minds never go still. “Old Leisure” to Eliot is presented through personification as a man whom did not live in the fast lane. He did not go above and beyond; he did not search but beauty but merely took in what was around him. Eliot lived in a world that only seemed to drive in the fast lane, even its slow mode was “70mph” compared to her ideal speed of a residential neighborhood speed of “25mph”. Described through the metaphor of leisure taking mans form.
