In Act II, there is a scene where Thoreau imagines a bell rope, tries to ring it, and hears no sound. He laments, "How do we make a sound? How do we break the silence?" What do you think Thoreau means here?
 
Meaning "how do you stand up for yourself?"
Stand up for what you believe in, when there's so many people bringing you down,
putting you away.
