Explain the title why, you reckon?<span>
The title of this short story is a highlight of the moral. This story written by Langston Hughes, narrates of a black man who, like many other in the post-WWII United States which was in the middle of an economic depression, had found himself wondering if money could buy you happiness, and why are rich people not happy?</span>

<span>
</span>

Who is asking the question?<span>
The question is presented by the protagonist, who wonders why rich people are unhappy, despite all the amount of money they have at their disposal. The young man was poor and hungry and decided to go all the way committing a crime just for the chance to buy himself a little bit of happiness. </span>

<span>
</span>

What are they wondering about?<span>
The protagonist is wondering if money could perhaps buy happiness, and if so, why people who have money and power are still unhappy and bored with their lives? He had always believed that money would make life easier (which is still a vastly shared thought) and cannot understand how come people with money are not afraid to lose them. </span>

<span>
</span>

Who are they asking?<span>
The question in the title is perhaps directed to the reader, creating a connection between the story and the real, outside world. But in the story the main character is wondering alone in the streets while asking this question to himself.  </span>

<span>
</span>

Why do they want to know?<span>
The main character is eager to understand whether money can buy happiness, since he has started to doubt it after the encounter with the rich young man who was excited about being robbed, describing the experience as one of the most thrilling experiences of his life. The protagonist cannot comprehend how rich people can still be unhappy and bored despite the immense fortune they have available. </span>

Sorry, I don't know the answer.

Next time, please don't cheat. It will harm you in the future. Instead, you can ask a trusted adult or teacher or redo the lesson. If you need help, it means you don't fully understand the content.

An essay of "My ideal society" plsss help
Savatey [412]

Answer:

believe that humans can live peacefully together if everyone would be cooperative and conscientious to each other. My ideal view for humanity is one that will probably never be attained, but still one to hope for in my opinion. I feel that if humans lived more robotically, continually striving to contribute to society with the skills and talents that they are best with, whether it be an advanced understanding of mathematics, advanced artistic ability, or advanced athleticism. Each person doing what they do best to improve technology, contribute to the world’s knowledge base, create entertainment, or do whatever their skills allow them to do in the way of improving humanity, and in turn their lives and everyone else’s life. With such a large population, and a reproduction rate that exponentially grows the population until equilibrium is found between population and available resources, the number of biologically different individuals would allow for many types of specialization, filling the roles of society that have been established and allowing growth and development of new roles to be filled by next generations, if not members of the existing generation.

With a system like this, there would be no need for money. Everything would be free, because production would be continuous. Everyone would be fed because, in this conscientious society, nobody would take more food than they needed, or more of anything than they needed. Food could be free because farmers produce the food for everyone, while the road workers fix the roads for everyone, and the scientists advance technology for everyone. Everyone benefits from each other, so everything is shared: free medical care, free food, free tickets to the concert until all of the seats are gone. Without money, and with this overarching conscientiousness, greed would finally no longer be a flaw of humans. It would be understood between all members of this society that you only take what you need, and provide for everyone.

This reliance on conscientiousness speaks to the personalities that the humans living in this society would need to have. The people living this type of lifestyle would have to be honest, respectful, and selfless. There would be no place for arrogance, selfishness, desire for power or control, or feelings of superiority. Every person would have to believe they were equal to each other, and live for each other rather than for themselves. Hospitality and politeness would be deeply cherished traditions, where a host would be willing and insistent to sacrifice some comfort in order to help a stranger in the same way they might help a friend.

I realize that this is a very farfetched and incredibly unlikely society, but I feel that if conditions were perfect, it is a society that would work. It’s a lot to ask for, that humans eliminate greed and selfishness, but if this could be done, I think that society would be much closer to reaching perfection.
