Critique Paper #2
This is an essay of exemplification from a professional author Adair Lara. From the title, it talks about money, and why and how it matters.
After reading this, questions boggled my mind: Why should men always pay the checks in restaurants? Why can’t women pay their fair share?

Nowadays, a number of woman believe that it goes without saying for man to pay the check when they go dating, and it’s just as reasonable as the earth encircles around the sun, or the sun will rise from the east every day in women’s mind.

But reality check, nowadays women should have their fair share with regards in money. Cheap, as a word does not define men who don’t spend their hard work just for luxuries of their women. In this essay, men are just being practical, because money matters now than making their woman satisfied with their money.
