THE SETTING OF THE PERFECT HOME

It was a matter of chance
that I should have rented a house
in one of the strangest communities
in North America.

It was on that slender
riotous
island
which extends itself
due east of New York —
and where there are, among other natural curiosities
, two unusual formations of land.

Twenty miles from the city a pair of enormous eggs,
identical in contour and separated only by a courtesy bay,
 jut out into the most domesticated body of salt water
in the Western hemisphere, the great wet barnyard of Long Island Sound. They are not perfect ovals — like the egg in the Columbus story,
hey are both crushed flat at the contact end —
but their physical resemblance must be a
source of perpetual confusion to the gulls that fly overhead.
 To the wingless a more arresting phenomenon is their dissimilarity in every particular except shape and size.

Are other social classes better than me

No I do not think that there are other social classes that are better than me. Because there are always major flaws in every social class and that is proven beyond reason. it is normal to think too highly of  one self so this question may be a easy question to answer considering the self obsession among Americans. But I am differemt I do not boast in my own glory for I am not conceited at all.  But that does not mean that I do not think that there are other social class that are better than me . For I know that other social classes are the type to have behavioral problems unlike me. Or there may be a case where they are snotty punks who boast of everything.  So I do see myself as the higher proportion of this great society. I do not other classes to tell me that I am good in what I do. So i can feel good about myself and other classes cannot do that. so therefore i am better than most. And my accomplishments cannot be compared to my own.

the world's virtue

The answer to that    profound question is in fact yes because one can dress up as a model student but openly act like a student who does not care about school at all and skips class everyday. So therefore the outward appearance are deceptive in many ways I had just included one example so far but there is a long list. An example from my own life would be like I knew this guy in sophomore year he dressed as if he was a perfect student in every way. But later on I soon realized that he was the exact opposite in every possible way I was dumbfounded when that happened. I did not expect that from him at all. The way we are  concerned with our outer appearance is by buying all of the "cool" clothes from these hip stores and that is not the way we are. The clothes is for the hipsters of the school and I honestly do not think that everybody at school is a hipster. It surely is substantial because we may lie about us like dimwitted savages but our beliefs are true and no one can deny that so they are substantial. Personally for me  those items do not matter at all because it is about the virtue that the girl has and her morals so if she is good, money and looks mean nothing to me. Now to other people looks and money are everything to them that is why the world is like this.
