analytical essay assignment that was meant to be completed within a week. According to my professor’s syllabus, the assignment was predictable. I knew one day this essay would be a challenge for me to face with. I despised reading poems throughout my high school years. Yet, was it a possibility for me to actually adore reading poems? On a cloudy Saturday afternoon, I decided to wake up later than usual. My friendly, vociferous cat usually awakens me early as possible to feed chunks of tuna,…

Even if they had other dreams or aspirations they were forced to have the job their parents had. Other countries and cultures had a similar class system in which people could do whatever job they wanted as long as the job stayed in the class there parents came from.
