successful. I choose Tyler Perry for my argument and I think it was necessary for him to use the free enterprise system to become successful in this world. In Tyler Perry's story on how he became successful was very emotional but inspiring to me. He have wrote and produced many plays in the 1990's and nearly nobody came but a few people.
