PLEASE HELP THIS IS FOR A GRADE

Part of the pride of being an American comes from the fact that most people that want jobs have jobs. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, as happened in 2008, the economy slows down, and jobs become harder to find or keep. Businesses make less money and so can keep fewer people employed. Those people who lost their jobs then have less money to spend. Because they have less money to spend, other businesses make less money, and then they, too, have to cut workers. In the United States, these cycles always end and the economy recovers, but it can take a while.
People have to get creative about making money if they lose their jobs. Sometimes, they can use the skills they used at their old jobs to make money independently. For example, people don’t buy many car stereos when the economy is bad. So, car stereo stores have to layoff some of their stereo installers. If an installer has a place to work, that person can install stereos without a store. Often, this person will charge less than the store where he or she used to work. Also, the installer will get to keep all of the money he or she charged. At the store where the installer used to work, the store would have made most of the money.
During hard times, it is important to be open-minded. There are always ways to make money outside of a formal job, if a person is willing to do things he or she wouldn’t normally do. A computer programmer, for example, might not be able to find work as a computer programmer. However, if the programmer is good with his or her hands, he or she may be able to find work in construction. Lawns never stop growing, and many aspects of life do not stop just because the economy has slowed down. A person who lost a job at a supermarket may be able to mow lawns for money, or do many other things.
Most importantly, a person who loses a job must not give up. One’s attitude is very important in determining if he or she will be successful. A hopeful person is more likely to find a new job. Also, a hopeful person will be better able to keep trying new things. A hopeful person, too, can be patient. The jobs will come back. They always do.

I NEED THE ANSWER FOR THIS, I WILL MARK BRAINLEST AND GIVE THANKS. I NEED THIS IN A HOUR, PLS ANSWER!

From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris

Two fifteen-year-old girls stood eyeing one another on first acquaintance. Finally one little girl said, "Which do you like best, people or things?" The other little girl said, "Things." They were friends at once.

I suppose we all go through a phase when we like things best; and not only like them, but want to possess them under our hand. The passion for accumulation is upon us. We make "collections," we fill our rooms, our walls, our tables, our desks, with things, things, things.

Many people never pass out of this phase. They never see a flower without wanting to pick it and put it in a vase, they never enjoy a book without wanting to own it, nor a picture without wanting to hang it on their walls. They keep photographs of all their friends and kodak albums of all the places they visit, they save all their theater programmes and dinner cards, they bring home all their alpenstocks. Their houses are filled with an undigested mass of things, like the terminal moraine where a glacier dumps at length everything it has picked up during its progress through the lands.

But to some of us a day comes when we begin to grow weary of things. We realize that we do not possess them; they possess us. Our books are a burden to us, our pictures have destroyed every restful wall-space, our china is a care, our photographs drive us mad, our programmes and alpenstocks fill us with loathing. We feel stifled with the sense of things, and our problem becomes, not how much we can accumulate, but how much we can do without. We send our books to the village library, and our pictures to the college settlement. Such things as we cannot give away, and have not the courage to destroy, we stack in the garret, where they lie huddled in dim and dusty heaps, removed from our sight, to be sure, yet still faintly importunate.

Then, as we breathe more freely in the clear space that we have made for ourselves, we grow aware that we must not relax our vigilance, or we shall be once more overwhelmed.

For it is an age of things. As I walk through the shops at Christmas time and survey their contents, I find it a most depressing spectacle. All of us have too many things already, and here are more! And everybody is going to send some of them to everybody else! I sympathize with one of my friends, who, at the end of the Christmas festivities, said, "If I see another bit of tissue paper and red ribbon, I shall scream."

It extends to all our doings. For every event there is a "souvenir." We cannot go to luncheon and meet our friends but we must receive a token to carry away. Even our children cannot have a birthday party, and play games, and eat good things, and be happy. The host must receive gifts from every little guest, and provide in return some little remembrance for each to take home. Truly, on all sides we are beset, and we go lumbering along through life like a ship encrusted with barnacles, which can never cut the waves clean and sure and swift until she has been scraped bare again. And there seems little hope for us this side our last port.

And to think that there was a time when folk had not even that hope! When a man’s possessions were burned with him, so that he might, forsooth, have them all about him in the next world! Suffocating thought! To think one could not even then be clear of things, and make at least a fresh start! That must, indeed, have been in the childhood of the race.

One central idea of Morris’s essay is that getting rid of things can be a relief for people. Which two of these details help illustrate that idea?

Read the excerpt from "Lady Liberty." It was a very good plan given the poor state of repair on Bedloe. Still, Papa and I decided to risk the sagging wooden stairs and climb to the crown. Inside, kerosene lamps were the only light. The air was stale, and it seemed like a place where accidents could happen. Even so, a crowd of people were willing to risk their safety and climb 354 steps for a view of the harbor and city. To me, it seemed as if every stair was a step toward freedom and light.
