I wrote this essay as an answer to a different question, I just wanted feedback on it. It explains how depression really is to someone who doesn't want to have it. It's called The Clouds btw...

The clouds stretched across the sky and they looked so fake yet somehow they were real. That day, I wasn't feeling anything in particular perhaps, I was having mood swings. The darkness tends to cause some sort of sadness within myself and today there was no sun. No sun, just clouds that stretched all the way to China and back. They made me feel like a little person but I remembered that, it's a small world. Nobody was thinking of me at that moment yet I wasn't thinking about anyone either. I felt common, not rare, just common. It seemed that nothing I could do would ever make a change in this world we call home. A song was replaying in my head the lyrics waning in crescendo, "Roses are red, violets are blue, my heart is dead, i'm such a fool." What more could I need to feel so lost within my thoughts than being alone with them. I looked up at the roof which extended far, almost too far reminding me of why I chose to live in a mansion. Well, actually I'm not sure why I chose to live in a mansion by myself. As I thought to myself, I only conjured sad thoughts. I felt like crying but only then I would be feeling bad for myself. Rich people aren't supposed to be sad? Not like this aren't they? I wanted to believe that, be like them, everybody else but it was something that I couldn't be. Rich was just a word but It can't describe how I felt. It just described who I was in an aspect of wealth. All alone, I sat in my chair rocking back and forth looking through the isolated and strangely large circular window. Clouds among clouds among more clouds stretching a seemingly endless route. I wish I was up there so I could feel the weightlessness that I so longlessly dreamed about. The weightlessness that brought no sadness, stress, or struggles. Down here I was merely a weight on the world, being of no use to anyone or anything, maybe even a diamond in the rough but if my uniqueness showed then maybe I would actually have potential. Still, that sounded very unlikely. I couldn't honor my myself but the weightlessness of the clouds could. Above those clouds only then would I see the sun once again. How happy would I be? Eternally happy. Only the clouds could make me happy because they looked so fake yet they were real just like myself.

WOW!! All I can say is wow! This is an amazing story/essay! Great Job!!

Answer:

This essay helps the reader know what it's like for people living with depression. It was outstanding how your essay made me feel I was standing in the character's thoughts. The title goes perfectly well with the story, as he wished that he could see the sun above the clouds. I could feel the heavyness the character has felt and how he longed to be weightless. And your totally right, living by yourself is full of loniliness.

I have only one grammar correction: "Not like this, aren't they?" Add the comma and it will be "perfecto mundo," as my dad says.

Which two excerpts from Jack London’s "To Build a Fire" most clearly hint at the attitude that contributes to the main character’s death?
Group of answer choices

Fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero. That there should be anything more to it than that was a thought that never entered his head.

He was used to the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.

It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe.

The man flung a look back along the way he had come. The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice. On top of this ice were as many feet of snow.

He knew that at fifty below spittle crackled on the snow, but this spittle had crackled in the air. Undoubtedly it was colder than fifty below—how much colder he did not know. But the temperature did not matter.

Worm Farms

Adding compost to your garden adds moisture, improves the soil, and helps to prevent pests that could harm plants. Compost supplies nutrients to plants and helps to keep them healthy. A great way to make your own compost is with a worm farm.

What is a worm farm?

A worm farm can be a small container, but not too small, kept either inside or outside. It should be no less than 1 square foot in diameter and at least 4 inches deep. Worms need enough space to more around, and they also like to hide. The worm farm can be made of most anything that you have on hand at home. For example, a container made of wood, plastic, or metal will work.

What do worms eat?

Worms will eat most any food scraps, but the best food is organic waste, like peelings from vegetables or fruit. Instead of throwing them away in the garbage, give them to the worms. However, avoid adding onions, citrus, or dairy. The worms then eat the organic material, turning it into compost or top soil.

Each variety of crop seed possesses its own set of characteristics. Some varieties of apple seeds, for example, are more resistant to disease than others. Some yield fruit with higher nutritional value. Others are more adaptable to diverse climates. As time goes on, many seed varieties are lost. For example, at the turn of the century, the U.S. grew nearly 8,000 varieties of apples. Today, more than 95 percent of those varieties are no longer extant. This worries many experts, who have stressed that the world's variable conditions require us to store a large variety of seeds and that diversification may be necessary to support a rapidly growing world population.
