Maybe you have experienced having a neighbor who is in a bad mood most of the time. For example, when I left my house to go to school, I say hi to my next door neighbor who instead of saying hi back to me, she frowns and makes a noise that only lions in a zoo could make. No matter what, when I come back home from work or from school, she, my neighbor is in her rocking chair pretending to read and watching people passing by in front of her house. For a second I stop to think if it is worth it saying good evening or hi since she never answers back. Well, I think, I wont loose anything by trying. So there I go again, showing my pretty smile and with my sweetest voice I say "Hi Mrs. Landy, how are you doing?" For the first time, Mrs. Landy raises her eyebrows and stares at me but did not say a thing. Then, she looks back at the magazine that she is holding on her lap. I could not believe it, how embarrassing. I 'm sure that the neighbors were watching and they probably think how dumb I could be if I know that Mrs. Landy don 't even talk to any of the neighbors. Well, thinking back about this, I really don 't regret doing what I did. I actually felt very good by trying to be nice to Mrs. Landy. I can put myself in her shoes and I really think that she is a lonely woman. I never see any relatives visiting her unless they visit when I 'm at school or at work.

    Second quote explanation: I think what Hesse is trying to say was that words don’t always express how we actually feel about some things, instead our actions . The words is our heads will always sound better in our heads until they are spoken, then they are interpreted differently by someone else way of thinking. Someone can find value and wisdom in things that no one else deems worthy of being valued. I agree with what Hesse is saying. Actions will always speak louder than words.…
