I think the story is about accepting responsibility and trying to achieve your goals and dreams for the

future. The author claims to achieve success, you can not live like ordinary people. In other words, you
have to change your habits.

The storyline started with a girl who dreams of becoming a pianist with the help of her aunt. Because
her aunt was concert pianist, also, Tante Rose undertook her, she would send her to New York to
continue her education. Since her aunt believed that she had the talent to play the piano and it was a
great blessing and gift from God. Tante rose was so delightful. She was tall and bony with black hair.
Although Tante Rose was older than my mother, she was single. She chose to live alone, whenever I
asked her why she did not get married, she said with a creepy smile,’’ One day, Hannah, you will
understand why I made that choice. One day you will understand how all choices are made.’’

Tanta Rose gave up playing the piano, since she had pain in her fingers and hands. Then she stopped
performing and started to teach piano. Hannah was her best student, That’s time Hannah was ten, she
considered Hannah was very talented. After a while, her aunt got permission from her parents to live
with her. In fact, Hannah was so happy she had a huge dream, so, she practiced a lot. She continuously
thought another lifestyle, playing in concert hall, having tour abroad and sign for her fans. Hannah
swore to get over some stuff in order to rich her goal. Every day after school, she practiced and studied
finger exercises, simple Chopin etudes and little pieces by Bach and Mozart with Tanta Rose grand piano
and if she played wrong notes, she would tell her. When she was thirteen, she was able to play the
music of Beethoven and Liszt. Afterwards, Hannah met her family just in weekends and practiced every
day between 4:30 and 7 then after dinner she studied again from 8:30 to 10. Hannah had to be hard
worker to would be a pianist. She did her home work every morning before going to school.

Although Tante Rose was so cute and kind she bought everything for Hannah she took Hannah with her
to religious ceremonies and prayers, she had made her promise not to ride a bike again and or go out
with her friends. Tante rose told her parents not to worry about Hannah. According to Tante Rose, she
was ready to go New York. Unfortunately, Hannah was no longer so happy. She wanted to ride a bike
like her friends and worst of all she felt lonely. Afterwards, one day when Tanta rose was sleeping and
her brother was in his room she decided to ride his bike just for once. Because she needed to feel the
wind in her hair and prove herself that she can do whatever she wants. Unluckily, when she went back
home her aunt was in kitchen an she looked like sad because it was the special event for prayer and
Hannah was not at home. Furthermore, the next day when they went back home Hannah tried to open
the door with her key Tanta Rose noticed about Hannah’s picture with a special statement Spring is
Finally Here. She was mad she looked picture for a long time then asked her what is it? And said her, I
had just two rules to stay here in my home but you could not keep it. You are not a legal person, you are
disorder you can not stay here more. Hannah run toward home and pick up her brother’s bicycle for
several hours. When she arrived home her father gave him a pocket from her aunt. Unbelievably, her
aunt sent her a ticket to New York. She was shocked but after several minutes she decided not to go to
New York. That was the time Hannah noticed her aunt’s definition of choice.

In conclusion, the writer try to say you have to choose aim and hard working on to reach your dream
and do not look back. Another thing was mentioned in story was that if you want to be an expert, you
need some things such as a good teacher, talent and education environment. Although, Hannah had all
these conditions, she prefer to live like as ordinary people.
