Happiness

1. Happiness is a very hard concept to describe because it is so hard to attain. But generally, people are able to attain happiness for a few brief moments but happiness can be attained in different ways; success and love.

2. The only time that I remember happiness that seemed better than anything else, was when I was hanging out with my former ex-girlfriend. When I was with her, I lost all my stress and only appreciated the time that I was spending with her.

3. My mom and my sister are generally the biggest influences during my day. During the day, my mom can disrupt my "happiness" while I watch tv or something and bother me about something.

4. I think my actions really affect my mom and my sister the most (during the normal weekdays). Usually, I don't really try to affect their happiness because I'm most likely on the computer, in my room, or in my basement.

5. I need people. The interaction with others can be very helpful to me mentally, psychologicaly, and emotionally. It is essential need for humans, communication, and I need it for moral support and to add to my excuse to make jokes.

Assignment #7

I liked the poetry unit the most. There were different topics that we wrote about in the poems and each conveyed a different story or feeling.

I liked the piece I wrote called "Minions" (although it didn't have a title when I wrote it) because it was very strong in conveying a message about society/conformity. When I wrote it, I didn't particularly think much of it, but when I realized what I was writing about, I felt like I was saying very important about society and about myself.
