My Wuthering Heights Comments

(To JJ)
Hey Jayy!
I believe that with a lot of money comes a lot of authority and power. I feel that a lot of wealthy people, unfortunately, show their feelings of superiority in a snobby way. I think that kids born into wealthy families group up expecting everything to be handed to them, while as you mentioned, other kids have always had to work for rewards. I believe that people who work for certain things appreciation them more, because they understand what was endured to get that reward. Along with the reward comes a feeling of self accomplishment.  I know for a fact that kids born into wealth live inside this little bubble, and expect to get everything they want. When these kids get older and need to go out into the world to work and get jobs, they are going to be very disappointed when they experience "reality" and finally realize that they can not have everything they want. And that the things they desire are going to have to be obtained by working and putting forth some effort, instead of being handed to them.

Heyy! I agree. People that you think you know really well can turn their back on you in the blink of an eye. I've witnessed that happen many times. It's so unfortunate that when someone that you've know for so long, suddenly changes and evolves into this completely different person. And for the life of you, you can't figure out why. I think that this happens because as kids get older, they start becoming more exposed to the world and experience different things. They also become more influenced by others when they are a little older. I think that when kids are younger they are more loyal, because they are so young that they don't know about betrayal. You may think someone is loyal, but they might shock you and make you realize that you were completely wrong about them.

I completely agree with you. Just because your friend does not resemble his parents or relatives does not mean that he is not a huge part of that family. even the fact that he is of a different ethnicity than his family doesn't make a difference to me. And it shouldn't to him or his family either. I know tons of kids who are biologically related to their parents and look absolutely nothing alike. Looking like your family has nothing to do with it. The fact that his family loves and supports him for the person that he is today is what really counts. Your friend doesn't have to "act" like his cousins and uncles are his relatives because they absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, are his real family.
