2nd Person- Elongated Lobster

  1. Taxpayers wonder whether the amount spent on students makes a difference. If you really think about it, yes it does. Ask any parent whose child goes to an expensive school.
  2. There are different types of injuries that happen in each sport.  Would you object if you knew that a surgery performed before any injury occurs could make an athlete stronger?
  3. Imagine your body being consumed by a drug. You would do anything to get this drug and you don’t worry about the consequences that come with it.
  4. By inviting Syrians in, you’re causing more problems than you’re solving.
  5. Does the idea of not actually having your money on-hand sound trivial?
  6. That little green piece of paper in your pocket holds no actual value other than the cost it took to produce it, and yet you will work your whole life just to acquire more of those little green pieces of paper just so you can take them and stick them in a bank.
  7. So just remember the next time you read a bank statement or look at dollar bill that you’re holding an made up value that someone decided to make up. Without it, you might still be having to trade with goods like livestock and produce.
  8. I now understand that a dollar is only worth what you can receive in exchange for it.
  9. Being able to walk around with money without holding the money in your hand brings me back around to the idea of the stone because, just like stone currency, you don’t need to be in physical possession of these Bitcoins to own them.
  10. We hear people talk about the American Dream, which requires that you have enough of these pieces of paper to be financially stable. If you think about it deeply you will realize, that you receive these pieces of paper called money and base your whole life on them.
  11. Money is an adroit concept and its pursuit lasts a lifetime. Your goal from the moment you start school is to join the game of making enough of these pieces of paper to make your life more fun and acceptable.
  1. Taxpayers wonder whether the amount spent on students makes a difference. Upon reflection, it does. Any parent whose child attends an expensive school can attest to this.

2. Different types of injuries occur in various sports. Few would object to the idea of a preventive surgery that strengthens an athlete before any injury takes place.

3. Imagine a body consumed by a drug, driven to seek it at any cost without regard for the consequences.

4. Inviting Syrians into a country has been argued to create more problems than it solves.

5. The idea of not having physical possession of money may seem trivial at first.

6. That little green piece of paper in a pocket holds no actual value beyond the cost of its production, yet entire lives are spent acquiring more of those pieces to deposit in a bank.

7. It is worth considering, the next time a bank statement is read or a dollar bill is examined, that this currency represents an assigned value created by society. Without it, trade might still rely on goods like livestock and produce.

8. It becomes clear that a dollar is only as valuable as what can be obtained in exchange for it.

9. Carrying money without physically holding it evokes the concept of stone currency. Similarly, Bitcoins do not need to be physically possessed to demonstrate ownership.

10. Discussions about the American Dream often emphasize the necessity of having enough money to achieve financial stability. On closer examination, life is often shaped around the pursuit and use of these pieces of paper.

11. Money is an intricate concept, and its pursuit spans a lifetime. From the moment schooling begins, the goal is often to enter the cycle of earning enough of these pieces of paper to enhance life and meet societal standards.

    Your brilliant solutions almost always depend on removing people from the sentences. While that’s a wonderful way to avoid 2nd-person language, a steady diet of unpopulated, passive voice sentences is very hard to digest. Be careful not to use this solution with sentences that benefit from having people in them.

    Extra credit for ingenuity.

    Graded.
