13. A feel a negative and disappointed

mood while reading the poem because its
just greedy for people to waste their

everything. A line that expresses this is It
was deadly like a war picture scene
People grabbing and pushing for just
anything.

That you shouldnt be greedy and buy
everything you find on sale in black
fridays because other people might need
it more than you do also dont be willing to
harm other people due to physical objects
that come and go in life.
