Reading Log on The Grass-Eaters

The moment I finished this story, I was shocked at the poor life Ajit Babu and his wife have led. After I rethought about it, I began to wonder how a person can be materially poor and spiritually wealthy at the same time. That led to my thinking about what really makes a happy life.

Look around, and you will find that we are living in a material world today. Students spend thousands monthly buying all kinds of stuff from clothing to up-to-date electronic devices, and some of them taxi to school and back home. They act as if this makes them happy. Well, it does at first, but what afterwards? Some of those billionaires are not happy with all the wealth and they simply feel empty inside. Ajit Babu's life may seem miserable and even embarrassing to some people: they have no stable home, they eat grass for meal and they even barely have clothes to wear. However, judging from the story, they live a quiet and peaceful life happily and are content with what they have.

True happiness has little to do with material affluence, while it is your attitude towards life that really matters. You can actually decide whether to live a happy life or not. Just like Ajit Babu, start to think about those at the bottom of the society and their unfortunate life, and you will appreciate what you have got now.

you are assigned to write an essay on writing does not mean that writing it has to be a miserable experience. This is a great chance to be true to your feelings and really express yourself. As long as you're prepared to back up your points with specific examples, whether you love writing or hate it, you shouldn't be shy to tell the truth about what writing is to you.
