Good Afternoon Ms. McCafferty, I made this appointment because I passionately believe that the book, Life is so good written by George Dawson and Richard Glaubman should be on the Carey booklist for Year 9 students. Life is so good is a magnificent part biography, part autobiography of a 103 year old black man named George Dawson who went to school to learn to read and write when he was 98 years old.
The author Gary Shteyngart of “Sixty-Nine Cent” describes himself in a tug of war between the Russian culture of his parents and the American culture in which he wants to be a part of. At the age of seven, Gary Shteyngart and his family immigrated to the United States from Russia. When he was fourteen, his family and other Russian immigrant made a trip to Florida to see Disneyland. He describes “the ride over the MacArthur Causeway to Miami Beach was my real naturalization ceremony”( Shteyngart 103). At that age, he wanted to be like every American born boy, He wanted to eat at McDonald’s, walk the beaches, and speak to the girls, and to enjoy what every boy his age takes for granted. One of his desires was to eat a McDonald’s sixty-nine cent hamburger and drink a Coke. On the way back from Disneyland, he found out this was not going to happen. His parents were given a picnic lunch, packed by the woman who owned the motel, for them to eat instead of spending money at MacDonald’s. As his parents were sitting out “sort boiled eggs wrapped in tinfoil; vinaigrette, the Russian beet salad, overflowing a reused container of sour cream; cold chicken served between crisp white furrows of bulk, (Shteyngart 104)” Shteyngart could not believe that they were doing this to him. Here they were at McDonald’s and he was not going to get a sixty-nine-cent hamburger with a Coke.
In the podcast, Americas Poverty Myths, #3: Rags to Riches, Brooke Gladstone and Bob Garfield discuss what causes the issue of poverty and how to get out of it. Gladstone and Garfield argue that to get out of poverty you need to be lucky and that people stay in the station in which they are born. Although I agree that being lucky can get you out of poverty, I don’t believe that it is the only way to escape the cycle of poverty because many people have gone from rags to riches without the help of luck. Gladstone and Garfield argue that you need to be lucky in order to get out of poverty, but that is not always the case.
Some people believe that if you work hard, get an education, and stay focused, you will be able to be successful and fulfill all your dreams. Others believe that only if you are born into a family of money will you be able to be wealthy. Both thoughts have some flaws in their description. For example, just because you always work hard and get an education does not mean some life event might happen that can cause some setbacks. Also, just because you are born into a wealthy family does not mean you are smart enough to keep the wealth.
The movie Born Rich at first seems like a kid who wants to overcome the “voodoo of inherited wealth” (Born rich, 4:24). Jamie Johnson the heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune is intent on getting his inner circle of friends to address this controversial issue. From the beginning of the movie there seems to be an unwritten rule that it’s in bad taste to discuss your wealth. This point seems funny that those with money don’t want to talk about their wealth, while those without money only talk about having wealth. As reluctant as they say they are, it seems that they are more than willing to babel on about it and the privilege that accompanies it throughout the movie which seems hypocritical. These kids, seems to range from very grounded to on the verge of paranoia about their money. However when you look at the range of problems, insecurities and unhappiness that exists among these kids it’s easy to say money doesn’t solve your problems.
Where money is but an illusion and all it brings are nothing but dreams, one family struggles to discover that wealth can be found in other forms. In the play "A Raisin in the Sun," Lorraine Hansberry uses the indirect characterization of the Younger family through their acquaintances to reveal that money and materialism alone are worthless.
Where I thought Money, fame, glory and power where my goals. I dreamed of becoming the CEO of Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Moreover, the reason was that currently their CEO makes 14.5 million a year. Growing up I always assumed making more money would make me happy. As I grew up and started, working the goal was always to make more money. For instance, my first job I made $15 a day. I would tell myself if I only made $30 a day, I would be able to do this or that. As the years progress I went on to tell myself if I only made XX amount of dollars my life would get better. Now that I am making a decent amount of money now I can say okay life is better but it is not the money it is my lifestyle and my son that has enhance my
Why do most people believe material things and wealth will make their lives better as if rich
The Millionaire Next Door written by William Danko and Thomas J. Stanley illustrates the misconception of high luxury spenders in wealthy neighborhoods are considered wealthy. This clarifies that American’s who drive expensive cars, and live in lavish homes are not millionaires and financially independent. The authors show the typical millionaire are one that is frugal, and disciplined. Their cars are used, and their suits were purchased at a discount. As we read the book from cover to cover are misconceptions start to fade. The typical millionaire is very frugal in all endeavors and finds the best discounts possible. A budget is implemented daily, monthly, and annually for a typical millionaire. They live by the budget and are goal oriented. Living well below their means is crucial for a millionaire, and discovering ways to allocate time and money more efficiently. The typical millionaire next door is different than the majority of America presumes. Let’s first off mention what it is not. The typical millionaire is surprisingly not the individual with the lavish house worth a million dollars, owning multiple expensive cars, a boat, expensive clothes, and ultimately living lavishly. The individual is frugal and often looks for discounts for consumable goods. The book illustrates the typical millionaire in one simple word: frugal. It is shocking to believe that this is true, but it does make sense. To achieve financial independence is inherently more satisfying and important than accumulating wealth. According to the book the majority of these millionaires portray characteristics of being sacrificial, disciplined, persistent and frugal. In the book it states, “Being frugal is the cornerstone of wealth-building. Yet far too often th...

For some, simply having infinite wealth and popularity is enough for them to be happy. For others, they need something that money can’t buy. Two books that express these qualities are: The Wolf of Wall Street by Jordan Belfort and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Both of these books describe the life of a wealthy man but each of them have different ideas of the American dream. Examples from these books will show how the American dream differs from person to person.

In the book “Think and Grow Rich,” the author, Napoleon Hill, provides a set of principles that he calls the key to financial success. The idea at the center of these principles is that one becomes what he or she frequently thinks about, in this case success (i.e. rich). Hill lays out a method he created to translate one’s thoughts into reality, creating an insatiable hunger and drive within an individual to succeed. Using the examples of his son and some of America’s legendary iconic business leaders, of which Hill studied and interviewed, including Edwin C. Barnes, he demonstrates that anything one puts his or her mind to can be produced and conceived.
