George Elliot's views on old leisure and the leisure of her time vary greatly. Elliot views the leisure of the old times to be spent living your life and the leisure of her time spent reading and riding in trains and making things more complicated.
Old leisure was a simple things that people did. Elliot viewed it as living life, doing simple tasks that made easier. she said that leisure time was spent among nature in fruit trees or sleeping with no regards to the world. These things did not make life complicated but made them easy and relaxing.
The leisure of Elliot's time made things complicated. Elliot uses examples such as riding in a train, she says that it opens your mind and makes you want to do more things. These leisure activities made life complicated it wasn't just about sauntering in the trees it was about going out to art museums and experiencing things for the first time which as we know is not always relaxing.
The leisure activities varied greatly it went from being alone to going and being I public and doing things that cost money. Life was changing all around Elliot and she took notice of these things.
Peer to peer evaluation: I give you a 4. I feel that your idea is underdeveloped. I caught one typo in the last paragraph I assume you meant to say "in" not "I". For future I suggest organizing thoughts on paper to have a clear message and idea throughout.
