What is Beauty?
The word beautiful is an adjective and a noun. When it is used as an adjective, it is used to describe anything that is very pleasing or satisfying. It can be used to describe the physical appearance or the connotation of a literature. The beauty of flowers, gardens, dresses, and women are all examples of physical appearance. However, some people may say that this poem, this song, or this piece of literature is beautiful. They're praising the beauty of their connotation. When I see something adorable, I use the word "cute" more often than the word "beautiful", but I sometimes will used the word "beautiful" to describe some poems, some poems that rhyme, have symbolism, or form imagery. It is hard for me to determine what kinds of things are "beautiful", but I agree with the definition that anything that is pleasing to me is defined as "beautiful" to me.

How can Guilt enslave us?
When I was in 3rd grade, I remember my father went to somewhere for a business trip, and he bought a crystal ball for me as a gift. I really like that crystal ball. That day, I was playing with it, holding it in my small hands, flipping it over again and again to let the paper flakes float in the ball. However, the size of the crystal ball is a little bigger than my hands, so my hands just slipped a little bit. The ball fell down to the ground and broke into pieces. The ball is a gift from my father and I just got it for about 3 days and I just broke it. I cried not only because I was scared, but also because I was so guilty! My mother helped me cleaned the pieces and I said sorry again and again to my father. I remember, for the whole week, I was so guilty that I can't look at my father's eyes.
