Happy Life Reflection Paper

1188 Words5 Pages

In my opinion paper I said that I am very happy with my life and that all my needs are being met but, in all honesty, just like my dad always tells me my eyes are brown because I am full of crap.

I could not be more stressed, I am only my second semester into college and surprisingly I am not stressed about the classes themselves but how the heck am I possibly going to make a decision that will affect the rest of my life. My major, what do I major in? I have no clue what I love to do. I just want to choose a profession that makes good money in all honesty but, I know that can (and will) lead to a miserable life, what I truly love and am passionate about is a money barren field. - hint: I love to ride dirt bikes and I would like to believe I have the potential to be great and continue to build more skill in it. Although, what 18 year old dirt bike obsessed rider doesn 't think they 're the next big thing in the riding world.

This all takes place in my dream, where for some odd reason my philosopher teacher appears to me and wants to have a little chat with me about my future and my happiness.

Jeff: Are you happy in life?

Bailey: Most definitely not.

Jeff: Could you possibly tell me why?

Bailey: Well I am stressed about my future and picking a profession that will provide for me and make me money. I am concerned about picking a profession that I will hate and that will make me miserable.

Jeff: Well for starters let 's talk about certain needs that must be met,

    As already mentioned at the beginning of the story, she was “seizing at every chance to change Bailey’s mind” (O’Connor 112) regardless of his opposition, which is a clear act of manipulation. Another evidence of her influenceable behavior shows up during her conversation with the chief criminal “I know you are a good man” (O’Connor 121). By this statement, Bailey’s mother tries to influence the Misfit so that he will change his mind. Also, she repeatedly evokes religious belief, as a way to convince the Misfit to “pray” (O’Connor 123), and ask for forgiveness to Jesus Christ. Moreover, failing to achieve her goal, she calls the Misfit “one of my babbies” (O’Connor 125), which upsets him and causes her death.
