OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is the unwanted recurrent thoughts, actions, or impulses and repetitive behaviors and actions that a person feels driven to perform (Obsessive Compulsive Anonymous World Services, 1999).

Eighner has started the essay by introducing how he viewed dumpsters as valuable objects. He then gives reasons why he is depending on dumpsters for his food.

To support his position, Eighner informs his audience that this decision followed his inability to buy food as the little money he had was used to pay rent.

The gold-loving pilgrim known for selling his pharmaceuticals for personal gain exhibits traits of Greed is the Doctor. “Yet he was rather close as to expenses and kept the gold he won in pestilences. Gold stimulates the heart, or so we’re told. He therefore had a special love of gold” (Chaucer 108). The Doctor was excellent at his job, yet, he used the “perks” of his job to his advantage in a bad way. He would sell prescriptions to people, not caring whether it would help them or not. He was also an acquirer of gold, which he was very fond of and enjoyed having around.
