That Character Fixed

Mr. Poe,

There is always a character of a book you are reading or have read, that you dislike, and that character for me is the murderer on the short story written by you named "The Tell Tale Heart". To begin, "The Tell Tale Heart" is a short story that you first published in 1843, and it follows and unnamed narrator that insists on his sanity after committing a murder to an old man with a "vulture eye". The murder is extremely calculated, so much that with no trouble it was almost impossible for the police to catch him. After the murder, the murderer dismembered the body and hid the parts under the floorboards.

Well, I dislike the murderer´s character for many reasons, but one of the most important is the way he kills the old man when he is absolutely with no power of fighting back. The old man with the vulture eye is completely unaware of what is going on. I like a good old book murder, but for some reason, or maybe because of the character I didn´t enjoy this one. Also, the whole process the murderer made before the murder indeed got me all confused and disappointed. He used to go to the old man´s room every night, for seven nights, but he described that he wasn´t able to kill him because he didn´t hate the old man, just his eye, and the eye was closed. But on the eighth night he sees the eye opened and showing his clouded, pale blue colour and kills him.

The murderer also insists on his sanity even after the murder when just by committing murder and dismembering someone is enough proof that you are not sane. He keeps insisting on it, and uses the excuse that the plan was so good and controlled that an insane person wouldn´t be able to make it. The murderer continues with his insanity and because of it he develops a disease, which is increased by nervousness too. The sickness is called "over-acuteness of the senses". Because of the "disease", the murderer believes in the hallucination of the old man´s beating heart, under the floorboards, he listens to the beats so loud and clear he comes forward to the cops.

Mr. Poe, I do believe you are a master for writing, but let me tell you that this character is the exception to the rule. I didn’t like his craziness and the stupid way he surrenders to the cops. It is quite insulting that the whole process was so elaborate and in the end he just surrenders. Don’t get this the wrong way, I’m just a fan who would love to read about more developed endings.

Yours truly,

Rob Cordón

Can Money Buy Happiness?

To begin, I have to say that when money is at your disposition, a lot of things become easier just by having money, and I know everybody agrees with that because for example when your body needs food, when you need to eat, you have to buy something to please that need because it is nor a desire, it goes further than that, it is a need. So you buy food, that way you become satisfied. Another point of view is the way we live now; there is nothing you could do without money, even to play sports you need money, to get the needed stuff to play.

But, what does money mean? The actual definition of money is: money is any object or record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and payment of debt in any given country or socio-economic context. This concept means that money is the thing that makes you get products at any place, and services of any kind, and with money you make the payment of any debt that you have.

The question that has been made to me, "Can Money Buy Happiness?", is something a lot of people have wondered, but to know the answer to that, first we must know, what happiness means, as there are many kinds of happiness. Happiness is considered to be the mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. It means that whenever you are enjoying something, even the tiniest thing, you are happy.

Using the definition of happiness that says that all we need is the "mental state of well-being", I believe that we don’t need money to get to the state of happiness. You could be happy by anything that happens around you, on the environment, even if that "thing" is not about you. I can give you all kind of dumb examples that I´m sure you can relate to. When you think you lost something that you liked or that you needed to do something, even just a pen, when you find that which you are looking for, you get excited, and for a moment you become happy; when you are playing any sport, take soccer, if you score a goal you get happy, just by the fact that it is something good for you; an example that is not about you could be, when a loved one tells you he has a job interview or that he could get something, you truly hope he does, and when he tells you he did, you get happy for him.

So to answer the question "Can Money Buy Happiness?" I say no. To be happy you don’t need any kind of payment.
