Fuster Cluxx (value essay)

Value is something that can differ with facts and opinions. and there are certain valuable things that literally have a price, and some you might consider priceless. sitting by a fire with friends and family is something thats priceless to me. my play station 3 is something i enjoy that has a literal price.

Sitting, staring at a screen for hours. Having a great time. A playstation is a good functional system that lets me enjoy some of the fantasies that are in my mind. You can do things in video games that you could never do in real life, weather because you would be punished if you did, or because its physically impossible. It enables me to enjoy shows or music that could mean something to me.Sitting by a fire alone isn't something that means something to me. its the people you are with. They both mean something to me in some way. They both enable me to spend time with friends or family, although one is virtual and i don't get to be with them in person, it still lets me laugh and have a good time them as i would be able to sitting by a fire. Although you can get joy from others out of both, there is just something about sitting by a fire that makes everything a bit more enjoyable to me, whether its a corny joke somebody makes, or just sitting quietly enjoying the peace. I love spending time with those i already know in person, but playstaion allows me to meet new people weather they aren't so nice, or they’re friendly enough that i would end up meeting them in person. sometimes i find it funny when i come across somebody whos not so friendly. they’re always so upset and complaining about everything. you would never really find somthing like that by a fire, theres just something about it that kind of sets a mood of relaxation and happiness. it could be because usually fires are held at parties or special occasions which can set that mood as well. and if they are held at a party or special occasion then you may be able to meet new people too. (except hopefully friendly). On occasion that they are not friendly I can't just log off like I could on ps3, I would have to tell somebody, stay away from them, or just leave. one main thing that they both have in common is they both create good memories, weather its freaking out after getting your first kill in call of duty, or laughing with friends, they both create good memories, and sometimes possibly bad ones, but even if some of the memories aren't so great, when im older ill probably be sitting back by another fire laughing about them. a good memory is just the details of a fire in general. the warmth you get when near it when usually all around you is cold, the glow of it in the night drawing people towards it. the ashes sometimes scatter upward creating almost orange stars. the slight smell of smoke in the distance ensures you, its a good fire. one thing that a ps3 has an advantage with is that you can kind of use it whenever, i just have to be home. you can't really just have a fire whenever you want. i value both of them very much, but a ps3 can be replaced, and when possible you can just start another fire, but you can't remake memories that already happened. you have to make new ones. thats whats valuable.  

Priced/Priceless essay

Priceless

Going to the movies with dad: This is important to me because I don’t get many good times with my dad. We are always just too busy to do things usually so whenever I get the chance to spend time with him like that, it’s priceless. It’s also something we both enjoy and look forward to.

Sitting by a fire with friends or family: this is important to me because I really like fire, smores, and warming up in general. No matter if I’m with friends or family, it usually always creates good memories. And usually fires are at cookouts or parties, not only do I like those but I also enjoy meeting and getting to know new people.

Giving mom a hug: this is important to me because I never gave my mom enough hugs. I have good memories of just hugging her and not letting go. I would give anything to give my mom just one more hug, making it priceless.

Priced

PlayStation 3: this item is important to me because I use it weekly or possibly daily. I usually spend at least a half hour of my free time using it. It was a gift from my family and I like being grateful and using it. My brother likes to play with me and I can spend time with him and my friends without physically being there.

Bed: this is important to me because I spend over a quarter of my life using it, if not more. If I didn’t use it I would be exhausted all the time and I would never be able to focus on anything. I also love sleeping and waking up refreshed and ready to go.

Phone: this is important to me because I also use it very often. I use it every day to listen to music and to communicate with my family about important things. I also use it to talk with my friends about not so important things. You can also say things over text that would sound pretty weird in person.

Although there are things that you can buy the can mean something and be important, or could just be something you enjoy, they really have no comparison to priceless moments that are sometimes impossible to re experience.

From the priceless list I would choose the sitting by a fire to write more about and from priced I would write more about my bed.
