Jessica Rodriguez: Reaction to "My Wood" by E.M. Forster (Blog #15)

In My Wood by E.M. relays a cause and effect essay. He conveys the experience of owning a piece of land which comes with a lot of responsibilities. He mentions four effects. First, he feels heavy (he maybe feels important after buying the property). Second, he feels it ought to be larger. Third, the property make feels the owner that his is ought to do something to it (usually owners take care of their property). Four, the blackberries (he is pleased that the bird got and ate it). He seems not too happy with the way of owners change. He expresses that the owner become jealous and selfish because they don't share with other people. Owners only care about their property, and do not let strangers enter in it. I think he is kind of shame because he does not have enough money to buy a big property. This story gives an example of how someone can build greed without even noticing. Every time that you build or create something, many times you want it to grow into something bigger. For example, when a person takes control of a property, later on, you want to expand your property. People with small businesses or even big corporations find ways to expand their companies to make them stronger and more powerful. This essay showed me how greed can grow easily in every person.
