Oh, my God. Oh, my God.Jesus! This can’t be happening … There it was the Neon pink purse that I wanted for years staring right at me with its gold buckles and zippers.

One side is saying“ Faith you need this purse” “ So get it now you have birthday money”. The other side is saying “ you have to save this money for important uses only”. After debating I finally got myself together to buy the purse..when I bought the purse I felt a sense of happiness for a little bit then it faded away into the back of my mind.

I started to daydream off about how I got my mom nothing for her birthday. “ Faith. Faith is you here’ My sister called out to me. I suddenly came back to earth and answer with a “huh”. When I looked around I saw everybody done sharing gifts then it was my turn. My heart was beating so fast that it could burst at any moment. I looked around to see if anyone just like me didn't give her a gift and to find out I was the only one. Then those emotions turned into something new it was filled with comments such as “ I need a job” “ I need to grow up” “ How can you not care about your mom”. Throughout the whole party, I felt those emotions and I zone out for the rest of the party. After the party was over I went to my room as I lay down on my mold, shape, compress softness. I looked around and what caught my eye was the neon pink purse it was still wrapped up in its bag just liked the lipgloss.I felt immense pain on how I bought those things and never used it. I could had used that money on my mom for her birthday but I was caught up in my greediness... to feed my greediness I see that materialistic things are my lifeforce for the greediness inside

American author and public speaker Dennis Prager once said, “Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like.

Glory 's portrayal of African Americans fighting in the Civil War for the extinction of slavery and equality of individuals is a heart warming story. However, although the Union won, and slavery was abolished, certain events occurring today question the equal treatment of all races in this country. In fact, in 2015 police have killed more than 100 unarmed black people, this is five times the rate of unarmed whites in 2015. Some of these tragic moments include the death of 18 year old Michael Brown, shot by an officer in Ferguson, Missouri, 43 year old Eric Garner, who was choked to death after he screamed"I can 't breathe," even a 12 year old Tamir Rice was shot and killed after officers mistook his toy gun for a real weapon.
I thought of the opportunities I had today, and what he had today as well. Almost naturally I reached into my backpack, searched deep to discover my wallet and pulled what change I had left. As the homeless man walked by my car, he didn’t look at me, as if he assumed a child wouldn’t hand him some change. I remained determined, however, as I fluttered my arms up and down. He spotted me with the money in my hand and a surprised look on his face.
For future reference, it was the werewolf’s fault. It was always the werewolf’s fault. There is no other reason that Gabriel John Brandt would have gone so utterly and completely insane. After all, lunatics were lunatics because they were moon mad, and werewolves…
Faith in God didn’t mean much to me. God, however, is gracious, even when we are not. He waited for me to come to the end of myself. Then he got my attention.
When faced with such an example of frivolous spending, it could easily serve to make someone of lower income feel like they were catching a glimpse of another world entirely…a world from which they were unceremoniously excluded by reason of circumstance. Living in poverty can lead a person to feel overcome with hopelessness when comparing their own lives to the lives of the wealthy. This can result in a lack of motivation to improve circumstances since the future isn’t easy to envision while dealing with immediate stress. As professor of psychology, Elliot Berkman puts it, “Worrying about tomorrow can be a luxury if you don’t know how you’ll survive
Everyone cheered and clapped as I blew out the candles. An enormous pile of presents of different sizes were place on a rectangular table. One by one, I open the gifts. Clothes, posters, shoes, etc. I thanked everyone and I thought on my mind, it wasn’t necessary to buy gifts for me.
Money can bring great joy to someone’s life, but it can also bring destruction and unhappiness.

Desires that are way too high and are constantly rising higher with every material purchase, can make someone
Our gifts where never wrapped and we each had our own pile. Santa always left my gifts on the right and my sister’s gifts on the left. This past Christmas was the first year that my sister no longer believed in Santa Clause. The magic of Saint Nick was gone. Even though I knew who the gifts where coming from for several years, pretending for my sister kept the magic alive for a little while longer.
The Emotional Abusing and being abused in Roy’s The God of Small Things Misuse of power and mistreatment of the powerless is abusing; the abuse may start with the infliction of physical, sexual, financial, verbal or emotional violence. Any sort of abuse will be apparently obvious to the abuser and the abused; but it is very difficult for the persons who experience emotional abuse to identify that they are being abused; since the emotionally agitated abuser fails to sympathise the other whereas the unaware victim comprehends neither the intension of the abuser nor the effects of the abuse. Abusing especially emotionally distressing is a serious social evil since it makes the victim socially incompetent. Both children and adult are encountering mental torment that is more vicious than physical abuse. Emotional Abuse is a psychological distress imposed on a submissive by ignoring, denying, aggressing, blaming, humiliating, belittling, bullying and rebuking.
Since I was so excited to open the other presents, I forgot that my parents had a surprise for me. When my parents revealed that they had made me a train table, I was ecstatic. All the other gifts I received were great, but the only thing on my mind was the table. I never thought my
