All- American
Her husband
among various physical accomplishments
had been one of the most powerful ends
that ever played at New Haven.
A national figure in a way.
One of those men who reach
such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one
that everything afterwards
savours of anticlimax.
(Fitzgerald 10)

Does money really bring happiness?
People are always discussing whether money brings happiness or not. I believe that money does bring happiness. Money itself does not bring happiness but what a person can do with it does. With money comes a a better chance for surviving,a ton of opportunities, and the chance to pursue dreams. Money is what people use to buy food, houses, cars, pay the bills. People today are always stressing over bills and not being able to make enough to pay them. People in different parts of the world are struggling to find food, shelter, and do not even have transportation. The people with money do not have these problems and are pretty happy about that.
Money also brings the opportunity of obtaining a better education. College is expensive today. Parents are always worrying about whether they will be able to pay for their child to go to college. Without money it takes a lot more dedication and hard work. With the money to pay for the education the stress goes away when it comes time to start planning on how much it will cost to pay for whatever college. Money would make it easier and less work. When something does not take much work and is easy that will make any person happy. The fact of the matter is money helps take some of the stress away in everyday life. The more money a person has, the easier certain things are, and the happier tha person will be.

The Same Old Saying
The old saying people in this world are always telling each other is to never judge a book by its cover. Judging books by their cover is one of my bad habits. I always look at people and tend to judge them on how they look and what their clothes look like. Outward appearances can be very deceptive though. There are people in school who dress a certain way and all of a sudden i will be surprised by their behavior. They could be dressed like a typical nerd or geek then you find out in class they are not smart at all, or not have the best clothes or will not like the brightest kid then they end up getting the best grade in class. That is one of the problems in the world today. What we value in America today is empty. People are always looking at others and automatically think they know every detail about that person's life. A significant other's appearances would be important to me because I would want my wife to look nice and I would not want to be embarrassed to bring her around my friends and family. This view may seem wrong but unfortunately it is how America is today.
