Thoughts About "Everyman"

In the story, Everyman, the reader watches the character Everyman struggle to find the path to heaven. Throughout the journey Everyman is blinded by all of these petty uncaring characters that end up turning their backs on him and making it harder for Everyman to be forgiven by God.
This story describes what society today is going through today. The struggle between right and wrong, what is impoartant and what is not happens every single day to every single person. The only difference is some people can pick out what will benefit in the future them and some people decided that they rather do what makes them happy now and forget what will happen later.
From media to peer pressure, people keep thinking the bigger the better. The more Ipods, cell phones and expensive clothes I have the happier and better off I will be. But when it all comes down to it, what are people going to be saying when your in your grave? Oh he or she dressed really well? Or maybe, "I really liked being around he/she because they were rich".
I hope that when I go there is someone who will say you know what Stevie was a really good friend. She was caring and loving and even though she made mistakes she tried to be the best person she could be.

  1. I really like how you connected "Everyman" with today's present world.
    Personally, I think that you are an exceptionally bright girl with a great future ahead of her, and I know that i'll always remember you as being: smart, funny, nice, and beautiful, both inside and out (:
