Kate (aka Puck) Connolly and Sean Kendrick live on an island famous for The Scorpio Races. Every November people from everywhere gather at Thisby for the event. The Scorpio Races is famous because of the horses that race against each other: they’re capaill uisce, dangerous horses that come from the sea. They eat flesh and the race is so brutal that pretty much every year someone dies during it. The capaill uisce are interesting creatures, they are drawn to the sea, but not everyone understands them. Sean is one of the few who can deal with them, so whenever there’s something going on with the sea horses someone will call him.…

There are a dozen Chinese zodiac signs and each of them carries its own specific characteristics. The idea is that each individual is born into a specific sign. Then, based on the sign that you’re born into, your character will reflect that of others born into that sign. Each individual sign has both good and bad traits that define them, just as we humans have both good and bad aspects to us. The zodiac signs are important in Chinese culture, as you can clearly see in Amy Tan’s novel ‘The Joy Luck Club’. I will be discussing how one character from the novel, Waverly Jong, has a personality that very well represents the Dragon Zodiac sign.…
Arkad, who was famous throughout Babylon for his wealth, was asked by the king to teach the knowledge of being wealthy to the king and one hundred of his friends. Excited to help his King and fellow man, Arkad agrees. His first cure is to save one coin out of ten earned. That one coin will be added to each subsequent coin added and will continue to grow. The second cure is to control what you spend. You have to distinguish between what you need and what you want. It does not matter what you earn if you are constantly spending on what you can do without. The third cure is to make your money multiply with wise investments. Arkad says it’s not the coin on you, but the coin you invest that yields an income. The fourth cure is to guard your money from loss. Make sure your investment is secure and if it is loaned out, it can be repaid. The fifth cure is to make a dwelling a profitable investment, or owning you own home. This is because as long as you rent, whether you stay or not, you are not getting any money back on your investment. The sixth cure is to insure a future income. Making sure you have money to take care of you and your family in your old age. The seventh cure is to increase the ability to earn. If you are better at what you do than anyone else at something, you are going to make more money, which allows you to save more money.…

“It seems only natural that happiness should flow from having more money. Even if they don’t admit it, people still behave as though it were true. More money means you can have what you want and do what you want.” (Dean 2008). Wealth and possessions do not equal happiness because no matter how much money and gems you have you can not buy feelings, but only comfort, also if you are working hard for more money you are experiencing more stress and negative emotions.…

In his article “The Great Seduction” (NY Times June 2008), David Brooks claims that “our most rampant decadence today is financial decadence” (1). What he means by this is that America is falling apart in terms of money. Early America's ideals of hard work and saving for the future are gone. Most of society is in debt and has no hope for repaying it. I agree with Brooks' ideals because a large portion of Americans are spending more money than they are saving.…

• What human beings want is to increase wealth with no limit and to maintain their store of money. They are so occupied with life that they want to live it, not live it well. And since their appetite for life is unlimited, they also want an unlimited amount of what sustains it. And those who do aim at living well seek what promotes physical gratification. So, since this too seems to depend on having property, they spend all their time acquiring wealth. And the second kind of wealth acquisition arose because of this.…
