I had made my usual desperate effort to cram the night before‚ with the usual dismal results—I had gotten only to page 75 of a 400-page textbook.

Everyone wants freedom in their own way; hence the meaning of freedom also differs for each individual. Even now some people feel that we don’t have freedom and we are not independent.
