With the enormous amount of stolen money, he and his family were able to go back home. “We go back to the land- tomorrow we go back to the land” (Buck 147)! Wang Lung and his family returned home to the land, but it was not as grand as he expected it to be. He arrived home with loads of money, but he still was bitter and longed for something more. He never could find what he was looking for and was angry with much of the silver he gave away.

(Merriam-Webster.com) When the migration of immigrants first descended into the new land in 1607 they realized that there was far too much work and too much land to manage by themselves.

Eulogy for Willy Loman I wish the last words I spoke to my father were different and, I wish the last things I did to change my father were different. Now that he is left us, I feel glued by the words we last shared, and the emotions that we last destroyed. I now feel a constant ball of anger, disgrace, and disappointment in the pit of my stomach, bubbling up my throat every time I try to speak. The decision Willy made to end his life, no one can comprehend. An unachievable dream, and a never-ending self-succeeding heart infatuated Willy.
In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby works his entire life to be rich just so he can get Daisy back, however it turns into an obstacle in getting her. Since Gatsby was originally from a poor family, when he achieved wealth in his later years, he was considered “new money.” This “new money,” was the main problem in getting Daisy.

When Victor and Thomas come to the trailer where people find Victor’s father, the first thing comes to Victor’s mind is there might be something valuable in there and where his father’ money is. Moreover, Thomas saves Victor’s life in the past by rescuing him from thousands of wasps.

Moreover, it is no doubt that Victor cares so much about the possession which his father may leave for him that

Hardin says that the population growth is a major problem of utilitarianism that has not been answered by anybody. Pollution rates would go up, and we would be “locked in a system of fouling our own nest” according to Hardin. If everything was shared by everybody Hardin says that it is inevitable that everything would be trashed because that is what people do best. It is not just because people like to litter but more because things would be overused he says. He says the population will always grow but our resources are limited.
Biblically, this idea of everyone having equal amounts of wealth is not supported once. God does not give everyone equal gifts. Some people may be better than others at one thing and to a higher degree than others, but everyone has received a blessing from God just in different ways.

A landowner needs help working his fields one day so he highers a few men at nine o’clock with the agreed payment of one denarius.
