“Laugh and Be Merry” by John Masefield explains the main idea that C. Life is short; laugh and be merry.
The poem insists that the song of merry and laughter makes the world a better place. Such happiness helps in eradicating the sadness and negativity of the world. Further, it insists that the world becomes a better place when justice is served to those who did wrong, <em>“Better the world with a blow in the teeth of a wrong.”</em>
Linking it with the first line that happiness and laughter help in seeking justice.
The life is short like <em>“a thread the length of a span”</em>, hence, asking to laugh in the short span of life and make it meaningful. In the end, the poem insists to not to laugh just for oneself but for the humanity and history.

I swim for a club. I belong to this group because I have incorporated myself into its society. There is a 'hierarchy' that is based off of which group you are in (and those groups are based off of how good you are), and I am somewhere in the middle. In the swim team, you have to be a good sport, not cheat, and not bully anyone else. My role is the same as everyone else's: a competitor, and a friend. We respect eachother, while pushing ourselves furthur when we compete against eachother. We all have to try are hardest and do our best in every practice and competition. We have to keep our pool clean, and we have to respect the premises. The swim team is a major part in my life, as I have been swimming for 6 years. When I feel really angry, or stressed, putting all my effort into swimming helps. Swimming is an 'anchor' in my life, and the adrenaline rush I get while swimming is something I focus on when I feel really out of place.
