Detailed Setting By Alex B.

Turning me around by one arm,
He moved a broad flat hand
Along the front vista,
Including in its sweep a sunken Italian garden,
A half acre of deep,
Pungent roses,
And a snub-nosed motor-boat
That bumped the tide offshore.

Slenderly,
Languidly,
Their hands set lightly on their hips,
The two young women preceded us out onto a rosy-colored porch,
Open toward the sunset,
Where four candles flickered on the table in the diminished wind.

Success Stories By Alex B.

A life everybody wishes they can have is to be rich when they grow up. It can happen either from an inherited life of financial success or from a long past of hard work. The way people get rich are two different things. Although they might have the same result, the background is different and that makes the whole story different. The person who grew to be rich but had to work half his life making it has learned discipline, patience and many other life lessons. It took a lot of labor. For a person to become rich from a family who is already rich may learn some of the life lessons, but he won't obtain them all. He will only understand what he had to do with his family,not what it really takes to get rich all by himself. There's nothing wrong with that either. It isn't bad to not start your life by yourself, but it is different.

Appearances And Values Blog By Alex B.

Outer appearances can be deceptive. I have seen it myself. At schools for example. I have seen people that may dress as if they might be a negative type of person or a mean type of person. In fact though, the person ends up being a positive person or nice person even. In can be quite the opposite as well. Although they can be deceiving, appearances is something we all care about. We are all concerned about how we look. Our clothes is important because it reflects on our style, our personality, and even financial lives. Our hairstyles display our personality; facial appearance as well.

Value is another that matters, in America for instance. We live in a country where values are everything, especially since the country is made up of such different values. In my opinion, my and our values in America is substantial, because the care we have about America reflect the country itself. Therefore, we must have values that are substantial or else if we have meaningless values in America, how can anyone else in the rest of the world have any values in America themselves.

Looking at how our significant other's money or looks may or may not be as important as another person's opinion. Although, in my opinion money doesn't matter, because it really doesn't. Because if it did then you would be in love with the money, not the person. Looks on the other hand are some what important, but it's not of major importance. They don't decide whether or not to be with someone or anything like that.
