poetry within
The interior was unprosperous and bare;
the only car visible,
was the dust-covered wreck of a Ford,
which crouched in a dim corner.
It had occurred to me,
that this shadow of a garage must be a blind;
and that sumptuous,
and romantic apartments were concealed overhead.
when the proprietor himself appeared in the door of an office,
wiping his hands on a piece of waste.
He was a blond,
spiritless man,
anaemic, and faintly handsome.
When he saw us,
a damp gleam of hope sprang into his light blue eyes.
(Fitzgerald 29)

Happiness in money
Are people with money happier than people without money?
I think people with money are happier than people without money, take for instance a homeless person, it is likely that they are not as happy and someone who has money. Someone who has to scavenge for a decent meal, doesn't have a warm house to sleep in, and never really has anything to call their own. Someone with money does have things they can call their own , such as a house, clothes, food and other necessities. Although money is not everything, it is needed for almost everything. People do not need to be rich necessarily to be happy but having no money at all won't make very many people happy. I don't have the most money in the world, but I'm not poor either and I'm pretty happy. Money does not buy happiness but to be happy i do believe you must have money, not a lot, not a little. But enough.

How is society today?
For the most part, yes, peoples looks are very deceptive, because someone who looks snobby could be the sweetest person you will ever meet. But some people fit their looks which isn't deceiving.
Sometimes when I meet a person they say they didn't like me before they met me, they say that I have a mean look on my face when I walk around, that I look like I would be mean, but after they meet me they realize their predictions or thoughts were wrong.
I think we are too concerned about looks (myself included) because we should embrace our god given looks. I know no one wants to look bad and that's okay but don't over do it.
I think most peoples views in life are substantial, but of course there's always going to be different people who are empty.
Honestly I know they say that someone's looks and money shouldn't matter, but who are we kidding, if someone is good-looking that's most likely what caught your attention in the first place, but attitude definitely has to go with looks.
And money, of course money matters, if you plan on being successful or having a family, you need to have money. People are always taught to look at someone's personality and not their money and Im not saying people should go out looking for money but it is definitely important for a significant other to have.
