Life can be like puzzle pieces, all the pieces can fit or… they won't fit. The ones that do fit are the right choices the one that don’t are the bad choices. They could be heartbreak of the loss of someone close. It could lead down a path filled with envy and despair. Although it’s never known what the picture of a wet puzzle piece looks like. It can be anything from a dove to a snake, a hawk to a dead rose. Our lives are like a colorful array, a spectrum of emotions depending on our decisions. The happiness in my life could depend on the right decision at the right time or the hopelessness that could unravel. Relationships with my kith could bitterly crumble

  • Perceived Losers In The Great Gatsby

    863 Words  | 2 Pages

    Every man, woman, and child stands upon an intricate scale. A scale that if balanced, can lead to happiness and success, but if tilted, can lead the person spiralling out of control. There are many aspects to this scale, money, friendship, and love, just to name a few. It is this balance between the many aspects in a person’s life that leads a person to fulfillment. It is the perceived winners of society that have a heavily tilted scale, and the perceived losers that have a more balanced one, which is why sometimes the perceived losers are actually, the winners.

  • How Does Henry David Thoreau Use Repetition In Walden

    996 Words  | 2 Pages

    Dale Carnegie once expressed, “Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.” Analyzing this quote, it is crucial to note the underlining theme that happiness, true and genuine happiness, requires a shifting away from conformity and the status quo in order to discover the treasure found in one’s own self. Therefore, finding out who one’s self is mandates a state of solitude which acts like the green pastures by the still waters that restores the soul. However, with its roaring and hungry fire that sends up flutters of red and yellow and orange and white fireflies soaring into the carnivorous night, conflict is the key ingredient in shifting away from acquiescence and society’s present state of affairs.

  • The Road not Taken

    594 Words  | 2 Pages

    Life ultimately comes down to choices that a person needs to make. Whether it is large choices ( where to go to school, what should I do with my life, who should I marry) or small choices ( What should I wear today, what should I have for breakfast this morning, should I talk to the cute girl in the corner of the cafe.). Each of these choices form the life that we live. There is not a single person that will live without them. Robert Frost understood how important the choice was. This fact is reflected in his poem “ The Road Not Taken.”

    Tonight we stand at a crossroad where each one of use will take a new direction in our life's journey. Walt Whitman said "Not I - not anyone else can travel that road for you.

The road we take is what we will look back on and call our life. Life is a journey of everyday experiences, teaching us moment in, moment out, who we really are. It's important to remember these words "Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late."
