The Pardoners tale consist of a lot of irony. The Pardoner preaches that greed is the root of evil. The Pardoner also is very selfish with his preaching because he has the trust of the people. He pardons people for brides and is not a very honest man.
The Pardoner says that greed is the root of evil but yet is greedy himself. When the three people from the tavern found the money. They all really wanted to get it for them selfs. They all thought about killing one another, even though they were looking for death to destroy him. The three guys found death but lost to him.
The pardoner is very greedy with his preaching and his pardons. He had people believe his stories cause he knew he had there trust. He took brides from people so he could pardon them and go easy on them as well. He said to be honest and not be greedy, and that it was a sin to be greedy and lie to another one.
To sum up the Pardoner. He was a trusted man with the people and used that trust to be very corrupt and greedy. He lied to people and then told them it was wrong to wrong someone and lie to them.

Pygmalion
"What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it dosen't come everyday." A quote said by Higgins in the play, Pygmalion. A lot of people can relate to that quote. So many people in this world get at least one great chance in there life that they should act upon, but unfortunately most people do not act upon. This is a great theme for this play that shares something you can use in the real world. If you get the chance of a life time to do something in or with your life, then you should go for it. "Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby". Another quote by Mr. Higgins in Pygmalion. If you are good at a trade that has service to other people, and you like to use that skill. Then why not make it a profession. Mr. Higgins was skillful in the English art, and used it to his own advantage to teach people and make enough money to be comfortable in his life.
Chances. A random opportunity that can have a positive or negative effect on our life. A chance could be define as a gamble. If a young man who has not a lot of money could go out and use what little bit he has and start a business. He is taking a chance. This is where the positive or negative comes in. His business could catch on and take off. He would be making more money then he previously was. On the downside, his business could be a disaster, and be out of the money he used to get it started. In Mr. Higgins quote he said, "never lose a chance, it doesn't come everyday". That young man could have kept his little bit of money he had and not start a business, but he loss the chance of it becoming something great. He could of made it big in his business.
Making a living and doing your hobby. I can relate to this a good bit. When you are at home and you go out and start making tables from scrap pieces of wood that turn out great. You are enjoying your hobby. If you enjoy doing something that is fun to do and also has a service to the public or private eye. Then why not do it. I Learned over the past two years how to build with lumber from trade school. I now use that hobby I have of working with lumber to build custom shooting houses for people. When you are doing something that you loved to do and making a living of it. You tend to not have so much stress on things. You are in your comfort zone when doing a hobby. Which usually makes working a lot easier.
Overall. Never lose the chances of a life time. you never know how they may turn out. It could be the greatest thing or worst thing you ever did. Thats why I compared chances to a gamble. Always try to enjoy what you are doing for a living. Is great to enjoy a hobby and get your living out of it as well.

My 10 years goal after high school
Every high schooler has a goal of graduating. Most people could tell you that, but everyone has other dreams. Like where are they going to go to college at, or are they going to get married within five years after high school. Not everyone can complete every goal within that ten years, but it is best to try to complete them.
My goals for high school are not like everyone but some. I'm still working on my first one which is to own at least two vehicles. I already have one and working on the second. Another goal that I'm working right now as a senior is to be in great shape and build a ton of muscle by graduation. I'm working at a resort in the area and I have made a lot of money, but im afraid I wont be able to complete my 2 vehicle goal. I will on the other hand complete my second goal of getting in shape. The place i work at I have a friend who goes to the gym every night, and now I go with him every night almost. Those are my goals mainly for high school.
I have a few goals set up for after high school. One is to own my dream car, a '69 Dodge Charger. That is really hard goal to complete, since those cars are going for around sixty thousand to eighty thousand dollars. Another dream is to attend a great college like the University of Alabama or even the University of Auburn if Alabama dose not have the classes I would want to take. I would also like to be a certificate mechanic and own a shop to work on hot rods and muscle cars. For me to get my dream car, the '69 Charger. I would have to find a great deal or even find one laying in a persons field. I found some stories how people have found old cars sitting in barns that are still in good shape and even fire up. To restore a car like that would be a lot of money, but in 8 years it could get done. To go to college to get the education to make money to restore a car like that, I need a good job. I'm joining the army and hopefully getting college through that. I will most likely get a business degree in college to have the knowledge for running a business. Once I have that done I could go to a trade school to get the training to learn how to work on cars, then go looking for great places to start a business.
I am hoping to live for very long time. So i have made plenty of goals for my career. I hope to have a successful hot rod shop. I am also going for a huge collection of American muscle cars. Hopefully the hot rod shop would help on my car goal. My family is very important and I set a goal to keep a happy family within my parents and uncles and aunts. A family of kids is not really a goal for me, I would like to have a wife and a dog instead of kids, but if a kid poped up I would not bed mad.
For my life i want to have fun. Keep my life revolved around family and muscle cars. I hope that I would make enough money to complete every single goal in my list, even though I do not need money for some of my life goals.
