Word reference?
Hello everybody.
I'm reading How Do You Live by Genzaburo Yoshino.
Of course, you went to Uragawa’s house and didn’t act like you
were above him in the slightest. I know full well that right now you
would never look down on the poor. However, what you still don’t
know is how important it is to hold on to that attitude as you
become an adult.
But I think I will take this opportunity to let you know just how
important it is. The better you understand the world, the more
important this will become.
Would you please tell me what the underlined refer to?
Do they refer to holding on to that attitude ( not looking down on the poor )?
Thanks so much for the help ????
