The message of the poem Laura, written by Petrarch and translated by Morris Bishop is that of a love that can't be because of of the two implied in it is not free. Laura was the woman Petrarch fell in love with when he abandoned the idea of becoming a priest. Although he was very interested in her, she rejected him because she was already married.
Through Laura's lines a person that is considered an angel, and therefore will live forever, is unveiled before our eyes. She is described as the ideal woman, but she is also unreachable to the author. Laura is the love everyone deserves to find, but who only a few do.

Answer:
1. We often assume that success is only about having things like power and wealth because that is usually how the media portrays success. Many successful people abuse their power by showing off their wealth, which makes us lower and middle-class men believe that success is nothing more than money and fame. We don't normally see what goes on behind doors because many successful people only want to show the good, not the bad.
2. Like the question above, various things influence our ideas of success. For example, the unfair portrayal in the media, big corporation brands, and society. On the other hand, there are positive things that can influence our ideas of success, such as creativity, talent, positive self-image, and education.
3. My idea of success has changed overtime because before, I thought it was about money and power. Now, the media covers a lot more than that. More and more successful people are coming forward with their stories and it is truly inspiring. It has definitely changed more with this discussion.
