Why Experience Is So Important To Meg?

When Mrs. Who recited the quote, she was explaining why experience is so important to Meg. The quote means that besides having something explained, having experience is the way you earn knowledge. For Meg that meant that she wouldn’t be able to decipher everything until she experienced it, and even then she would have to keep learning about it to fully understand. One time she needed experience to know more is when the three ladies were explaining what tessering was and she just couldn’t understand the concept. Tessering was a very complicated proposition to Meg because it wasn’t tangible and it didn’t seem substantial. It also was a subject that was almost ineffable, so the ladies couldn’t describe it easily. So, in order for Meg to understand,
she would have to experience tessering herself. Since Meg experienced tessering and the three ladies explained it the best they could, Meg finally understood a bit despite her confusion in the beginning.
