Jealousy is one of the seven sins and clearly never an asset to any society. Another argument that shows that economics is often the reason for humanity's self-destructive behavior is consumerism. In our society, we are continually encouraged to consume as much and as fast as we can. In short, we strive to be instantly gratified instead of appreciating delayed gratification. To put it in perspective, when June and Marisol are talking, they see smokestacks. Lenny says that it's a "federally funded torture center where they violate people who have gone over their credit card limit". This clearly illustrates my argument, as people who would have resisted instant gratification would not have gone over their credit card limit. There is also a reference to crematoriums in extermination camps with "they cremate the bodies," as if the people brought into the facility in question are first tortured, killed, and then cremated. However, there is an inconsistency because why would they kill people that have gone over their credit card limit if this is the main purpose of a

In the book “Unbroken” written by Laura Hillenbrand is the full story of Louie Zamperini’s life. Published on November 16, 2010 by A Random House Trade publisher in New York that is a non-fiction. Hillenbrand, who could not travel to meet Louie because she has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, interviewed Louie over the phone for seven years. The book is five out of five stars for me because I truly am in love with the story of Louie and how devoted this book is to his whole life. This book shows you can start with little and make yourself rich from that.

She also talks about how much she enjoys her job, all of the events and people that make it worthwhile, yet she still seems to struggle with these feeling of overwhelming stress.

Commentary- Envy is a very dangerous emotion, and that is exhibited perfectly in the story of Cain and Abel. Cain, who feels animosity because Abel's sacrifices are favored over his, ends up killing his own brother. It

This sort of intermingling led to the Indian warrior epic “Bhagavad-Gita” expanding the warrior ethos to a loftier plane - from the war against one’s neighbor to an internal struggle to reach one’s better nature as Arunja, the Gita’s hero, battles against enemies whose names can be translated as greed, sloth, and selfishness – all moral weaknesses that must be overcome.

Composed ages ago, The Mahabharata still continues to be retold in various literary, graphic and visual media. In the hands of the postcolonial Indian English novelist the mythological past takes different shapes. Unlike retellings of previous centuries, these novels do not view the epic as a mere tussle between dharma and adharma. They re-narrate their past but from a different perspective. They demolish authority, stereotypes, icons and sexist values. This paper seeks to examine how notions of gender are subverted and notions of victimhood and agency are playfully dealt with, in these modern retellings of The Mahabharata. This paper will be dealing with two hyper-masculine characters from The Mahabharata, namely Duryodhana and Bhima. Pushed to the brink of half-existence, both these characters seem to share their frustrations in being misunderstood, half-understood. Beneath all the masculinity, the massive strength, the oozing machismo, we get two marginalised men waiting to be heard. Our reading of these novels reveals how rewriting epics gives voice to the subordinated speaker and also analyses the ways in which individuals of this age resist hegemonic notions of gender and class.
