Hi its one9 again and today mrmayo asked us to read an article titled “8 lottery winners that lost thier millions“. This article was about lottery winners that won the lottery and had crazy things happen! 5 out of the 8 got broke 1 went to jail and one is in debt for thosands. Not to good huh? Anyways we are also reading a book called The Pearl and the maincharacter just found a gigantic pearl!! For him this is like winning the lottery.
I predict that Kino (the guy in the book) is going to get in big trouble. For example Kino might be killed by nieghbores/people in the town near his village. Also his neighbores might pester him for money and perhaps even steal the pearl. All i know is no good can come of this….
Now i will be right back and go read chapter 3 of the pearl. Lucky for you and the magic of the internet you can read what Chapter 3 and how it realates to the article……..now:
Ok well i was right…everyone knows Kino got the pearl so all the merchants nad services got their wares ready. Then a docotor hears and he comes to kinos house. The doctor makes Kino’s son Coyoito sick and then charges them for his services. This is almost like the article because everyone wants some part of the fortune and others even hurt there person who got the fortune and thier family. All i kow is that i certainly wouldn’t want to be in that postion….not at all.

Well, money isn’t all that evil. Those are only certain cases that are bad. I’m sure you can find thousands of other cases that are good. Also, stories have to have a twist to them to make it interesting. Too much money is probably bad, but most of the time it’s good.

I agree that money turns everyone evil at some amount. That is why I think that no one should have money you have to trade to get stuff.

you are right, money does turn people corrupt, but you shouldn’t have given away the story.
PS. I am really Grizz13, I was falcon last year.

Is all money evil? It seems to me like to a hobo or a really poor person, a 5-dollar bill might be the greatest reward for them. Maybe, a large amount of money might be evil.

My name is chocoboguardian force and i agree fully with you. Money corrupts people and it guides peoples actions. It is a needed reasource and people will do anything to get it. People think that money represents power and they need power.
