I M Sorry Mean Analysis

Improved Essays
I am often struck by how often people throw around the words “I’m sorry” without giving much thought as to what these two small words actually mean.

I personally, feel that I have value and therefore refuse to use to these three words or the contraction of, any longer situation. I have forbidden my children to cast those negative words around our home. Everyone has real and true value to bring to the world, why would we not be here but to contribute

    In Simon Dumenco’s writing titled: “If We’re All So Sick of You, Facebook, Why Can’t We Quit You?” , Simon touches upon the fact that when people attempt to take a break from Facebook, Facebook sends them emails, trying to convince them to come back.
