Pricey vs. Priceless

In this time where society expense ridiculous amount of money in ridiculous things .If one of your loved ones were to die tomorrow what would you treasure more, your designer purse & smartphone or the beautiful and timeless moment with your loved one ? It is possible for us to Know what is the difference between something that is priceless and something with financial  significance?
For sure always in our lives there are going to be pricey and priceless things. Between them there is a huge different even the feeling that they express. But you can also find things that are pricey and priceless at the same time.
Something with financial significance you bought, at first you get excited, but with the course of time that thing loses the value or you just change it and you even don’t remember any more.
One example of this before we came to U.S we used to life in Peru. Then when we first get here we used to life with my uncle and his family  it was a little uncomfortable for me, we don’t had a lot of privacy because it was not usual for us to live with other people . Then we moved in a little but big new apartment, when we first entered i just could smelt the  painting every where i was really excited ,and all the rooms white it was so pretty ,and we felt more comfortable .Also we bought a lot of thing for the house i think it was that what make more excited to move in.Now we are looking now to move to another place.
One of the things that are priceless and pricey I think it was my house in back in Peru .It  is priceless for all the moments that take place in there, that house was the one that I lived from my birth until one year ago. When I  remember my old house it make me nostalgic.
Priceless moments are those you will remember forever, that you enjoy with the person or people you love most in life, and that serve as a reminder of your love for them.  Priceless moments may even change your perspective, or give you a renewed passion for life.  Priceless moments are priceless specifically because they are rare, because if you did them every day they’d be mundane.
An example of this is the moment that I get my puppy 7 years ago and I still remember that moment.
I remember   I was begging to my mom a sister or brother because I felt alone all my friends had a little brother or sister and I was the only one that it didn’t have another baby in the family. After each conversation with my mom she always tell me “Tell to your father” and my father tell me “Tell to your mother”. And then I remember I was very sad and mad , I just begin to cry and tell to my mom that I felt alone and if they don’t want to have another kid I just want a pet . The next day we went by a place in Peru that sell a lot of  pet I said to my dad “ I want to see some pets”. We enter to the place I said to my dad that really like some of then but he tell me not to by them and then he tell me a secret “In mom’s work ,she was talking with a client ,this client said that she have a lot of puppies and she is giving the puppies because she is going to move to another country and your mom tomorrow is going with you to her clients house to see the puppies and to pick one.
But don’t tell to your mom that I told you this”. We went to the house I see a lot of puppies all of them were pugs they were very funny I play with all four of them. Until the owner of the puppies told me “Choose one.”I remember one of them went with the owner , the other one went with the husband’s owner, the other one with one employee and the last one sat in front of me and I definitely choose that one. A moment that I am always going to remember, a priceless moment, is when I meet my “little brother”.

For all this I am so sure that pricey and priceless things are totally different. Things that I bought I get excited for just a short period and you don’t remember anymore .But experiences that are priceless always are going to be in your heart.

  1. In the value essay the AUTHOR is making it clear that there is more to priceless things than there is too pricey things.
    she says that the things that she values the most is the moments that happens in her house when she lived in Peru...
    the most descriptive sentence in this value essay is "that house was the one that I lived from my birth until one year ago. When I remember my old house it make me nostalgic.
    Priceless moments are those you will remember forever, that you enjoy with the person or people you love most in life"
    in general the essays over all strength is that it is straight to the point and it uses very descriptive words towards describing the most valuable things in Beatriz's life.
    i really enjoyed this essay and i don't think that there is anything wrong with it i really like the whole thing but i would try to make it shorter because i hate reading ha.. but anyway it was really good and i liked it so much i wouldn't change anything about it because its the best Ive ever read.......

  2. 1: What she seems to be saying is she values moving in to her new house in america instead of living with her uncle. Her strong values are her puppy and the apartment she lives in.
    2: The two values that were described best in this essay were, when she moved from Peru to America, living with her uncle and then moving into and apartment with her mom, also she explained in great detail the moment she got her brand new puppy back in Peru.
    3: In this essay it has many strengths. One of the strengths was how detailed the paragraphs were they really made me keep wanting to read on.
    4: A way to improve this essay is by, having more examples of the priceless times that she has had and more of the expensive values she has.

  3. The author is talking about getting a new puppy and moving to her new house. The part where she was describing going into the house and smelling the paint and seeing all the white walls i could really picture it. This essay’s overall strength was the introduction it really hooked the readers attention and it made me want to read more. i don’t have anything to say about this essay i thought it was clean and neat and very well written.
