The Odds Of You Being Born As You Are Slim

Jealousy can be defined as the resentment of a person or individual due to their successes or advantages. As human beings we are inherently created with this quality, but it is when we choose to indulge it, that it results in negative consequences. Jealousy is an extremely strong emotion, often beyond our control. In the short stories “Marigolds” by Eugenia Collier and “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant, the two authors clearly portray the negative effects that jealousy can have on one’s life.

There are many different emotions like sadness, happiness, and joyfulness just to name a few that people can experience. One of the most powerful and sometimes dangerous emotions is Jealousy. Jealousy is a powerful emotion that most people experience at some point in their life. However, not everyone is affected in the same way. Some people are filled with insecurity. While others are filled with fear. Most people experience anger. In William Shakespeare’s Othello the audience learns through the characterization of Othello and Iago, the symbolism of the handkerchief, and through Othello denying that he is jealous we learn that jealousy can make people behave irrationally in certain circumstances.

The short story All Summer In a Day by Ray Bradbury illustrates that someone who acts upon their jealousy can end up with a feeling of great regret. The other kids were jealous of Margot for almost everything she had and they hated her for it. She was different from the other kids in a way that she had something the other kids didn’t. She remembered the sun. The other kids resolved their jealousy by doing some terrible things. Jealousy can cause people to do things they wouldn’t if they were thinking correctly. Jealousy can cause much regret.

Some people know jealousy as "green envy." Some people just know it as plain old jealousy, but everyone knows jealousy and the pain it can cause. Jealousy is a nasty emotion, causing nice people to act mean, calm people to act rash, and even the steadiest of tempers to rise. It lashes out with harsh actions and words, hurting many innocent victims. Jealousy causes people to act in abnormal ways, devious ways of hatred and deception, ways that most people would not normally act. Ultimately, jealousy is caused by a certain insecurity that a person has. This insecurity comes from not having what you desire, allowing you to be jealous of those who have it. Three main things that cause insecurity

Jealousy, it is one of the most complex human emotions. Everyone experiences jealousy, but each person reacts upon it differently. In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, Gene is envious toward his lifelong friend Finny. The article “Jealousy: Love’s Destroyer” by Hara Marano, jealousy is perceived as a survival instrument. The video “Ode to Envy” by Parul Sehgal, jealousy can be seen as natural. All three sources identify how each person acts differently in a situation that revolves around envy. In the novel A Separate Piece, by John Knowles, the article “Jealousy: Love’s Destroyer”, by Hara Estroff Marano, and the video “Ode to Envy”, by Parul Sehgal, each author shows that jealousy causes each individual to react differently.

Jealousy is the act of having envy for something or someone another person possesses. In Of Mice and Men curley's has recently been married to his wife who we do not know the name of. She has the tendency to run off and flirt with other guys as she feels trapped and wants new. Curley being the man he is does not like that his wife does this and gets jealous. Although his wife flirts none of the men flirt back. However this has no effect on the fact that curley is still jealous and thinks that some of the men are moving in on his girl. Hence when curley was furiously running around looking for slim. “Thinks Slim’s with his wife, dont he?” (Steinbeck

Many people might wonder why kids are born differently than what most consider “normal.” Multiple substances are effects that cause these fetus to develop wrong and not in usual routine that is normally seen in pregnancies. If a pregnant woman chose the wrong temptation and consumed substances that are known to cause damage and can be fatal to a baby, these mothers are making the worst mistake of taking the life of their own child away before the baby can experience what life is. Carrying a baby in the womb is one of the most heaviest challenges a woman can face and many females go wrong by falling into various temptations by not having enough information in pregnancies and going on with their daily lifestyle instead of learning about instant fetal deaths.

Jealousy is an emotion very evident in our society. We often compare ourselves to others, noticing what they have that we do not, most commonly in terms of money or looks. Even those close to us spark our jealousy, maybe a friend or sibling; although most wouldn't admit the fact. Author John Knowles touches on this subject in his first published novel A Separate Peace. Through the voice of Gene, Knowles uses figurative language in a self-deprecating tone to show jealousy, as evident in the passage, “The second wave, as it tore toward the beach with me, spewed me a little ahead of it, encroaching rapidly; suddenly it was immeasurably bigger than I was, it rushed me from the control of gravity and took control of me itself; the wave threw me

One example of jealousy is when Gene and Finny are walking down the street, coming from the beach, when Gene noticed how everyone was staring at Finny. Gene described Finny as “His skin radiated a reddish copper glow of tan, his brown hair had been bleached by the sun, and I noticed that the tan made his eyes shine with a cool blue-green fire” (Knowles 40). Gene shows jealousy by noticing how much Finny was standing out and being noticed by everyone else, while no one noticed him.

In everyday life jealousy occurs over an outfit, how you look, or a skill someone is really good at, and for some people jealousy will make them do negative things--things they would otherwise not do. In Ray Bradbury’s, Kij Johnson’s, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.’s short stories they all represent jealousy throughout their stories. In “All Summer In a Day”, the children are jealous over Margot seeing and remembering the sun, were as they can’t remember. In “Ponies”, it talks about how Barbara is jealous of TheOtherGirls, and will do anything to fit in with them. In “Harrison Bergeron”, the society is based over the past years of people being “not equal”, so the Handicapper General made everyone equal so there would not be many outburst, but Harrison decides to rebel. In “All Summer In a Day”, “Ponies”, and “Harrison Bergeron” we learn that jealousy can make people act differently-- they could even go as far

Jealousy has many branches to the name, and can result to jealousy controlling over someone’s physical

For those who don’t have much compared to those who have a lot, jealousy is going to separate them because one always thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Society is going to move forward and won’t move very far if it is being held back by crime. Jealousy is a common motive towards crime because those who don’t have it all want it all. Crime can be a result to jealousy bringing you back by giving you record and so on so forth. Confidence issues are quite popular these days.

Jealousy is a life trait in all humans and even in all types of animals. People always connect jealousy with the feeling of envy, to want some object, characteristic, or person that others have. It is only but natural to have the sense of envy and jealousy. These emotions can be active in everyday life ranging from stories to real life. Jealousy, given its negative connotation, is always portrayed as an adverse outcome. Hedding this information, not always will being jealous cause poor outcomes. Being jealous or envious can cause both superb and traumatic results. Examples could be if person one were zealously jealous of another’s achievements person one may possibly strive to beat the other. An example of an adverse outcome is as such; person one is jealous that another gets something person one can’t so they, therefore, destroy the one thing that they cannot have. Jealousy is a complex, over wavering gut reaction that can change what someone person would do and think about. When coming down to the roots of jealousy, it can boil down to a more terrible situation than that of good ones. Such as in “The Lady or the Tiger”, all of the decision making can also demonstrate the realism of human jealousy.

After reading Intimate Relationships: Chapter 11 Fidelity and Jealousy, I would say that jealousy is the single greatest threat to the well-being and stability of intimate relationships today. Even the first excerpt provides as horrible act done in the name of jealously, “fighter pilot, was found guilty… of capital murder for killing a teenage girl to prove his love for his jealous fiancée”(P.190). My first initial reaction to this is how unhealthy is this relationship that the fiancée would ask her partner to kill someone to prove his love, but then why would he actually go through with this!? Jealousy is explained as the darker side of human nature in this chapter and I truly believe that it can be the downfall to many relationships. Although

But jealousy, and especially sexual jealousy, brings with it a sense of shame and humiliation. For this reason it is generally hidden; if we perceive it we ourselves are ashamed and turn our eyes away; and when it is not hidden it commonly stirs contempt as well as pity. Nor is this all. Such jealousy as Othello’s
