IMPORTANCE OF MONEY
Money is very much required thing in the life however; it cannot buy things like time,
love and true care. It can only fulfil the outer needs of the person and not the inner
needs like true love. Now-a-days, everything has become so costly but necessary to
buy for living a simple life. And what if we have no money, either we would die or
suffer more if saved.Money has capability to buy anything virtually and helps us a lot
throughout the life. By taking the importance of the money in our life we should never
destroy or waste the money without any purpose. We should not compare the money
and love because both are required separately to run a successful life.In this
competitive world, everyone wants to get good study with higher education from the
popular college and university to get good job in order to earn more money. A person
needs more money to fulfil the requirement of the all the members of the family
especially one who is only working person of the family.He or she needs to fulfil the
eating, clothing and living requirements of the family members and for that money is
required. Rich people of the society are given particular recognition and popularity
however poor people live their life by arranging just food for two times a day. All the
changes and differences are just because of the money.
1. The family spent time on their island, engaging in various activities such as
playing games, exploring, storytelling and making kites during the summers.
2. They had not known any relative because their father had quarreled with his
brother, and they were stranged. The narrator wished for relatives but respected
father’s feeling on the matter.
3. The narrator had never felt the needs of a women because of her Father’s ability
to fulfill all their needs including cooking, mending, and storytelling and
providing care. They didn’t feel the need of a women as father handling
everything.
4. Our Runaway Kite”, written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, is a heart-touching short
story exploring the theme of separation, identity and relationship.
5. Learning to make kites led to the children’s interest in kite making during the
summer. When they tore the kite and patched it up with an old letter, the kite
was found by their long lost cousins. This helped them discover Aunt Esther,
Mimi and Dick, leading to a joyful reunion.

However, when a virus enters an organism's living cell, it uses the resources in the
host cell and starts reproducing.
