Formal Outline
I changed my topic as in the discussion I realized my previous topic would be hard to write about as it'd be harder to describing my meaning of the situation. I will now write my essay on if money buy can happiness.
Thesis: Money is a huge part of our lives whether we have lots or nearly none of it. It changes our lives immensely as we come across it everyday. Money pays for the clothes on our back, the shelter we live under and the food on the table. Having money can make people centered on how rich they may be. It can also make people selfish and greedy or even lose your perspective.
Paragraph 1:
- Introduction including thesis
- Statistics of how many people are rich in America and how many are living in poverty
Paragraph 2:
- The process of getting money and how that may become the center of importance
- How that effects your family and the people around you
- Supporting source
Paragraph 3:
- How the amount of money can never be "enough" for you.
- Losing sense of value to what's important
- Start to see that being rich doesn't equal happiness as you always are just wanting more.
- Supporting source
Paragraph 4:
- Your child's perspective of life, work ethic and wealth as they grow up.
- Not learning the value of money.
Paragraph 5:
- Summary of body paragraphs
- Conclusion
I commented on:
This is a great topic to write about. So many people get caught up on the fact that if they have more money they will be happier. I have seen first hand that money can also destroy a person. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteI really like your topic choice! It is very relatable and I feel like your essay will be very easy to understand because of that.
ReplyDeleteI am interested to see your last paragraph come into fruition. This is a good outline and an often debatable topic.
