Monster

The monster is a corporation and no one can take it down. If people on the land want to kill someone to destroy the monster they can't because there are to many people all over in the corporation. The people who live on the land have been born, worked, died, and buried there, and the people that they have to pay who own the land have never seen it. In order to feed the monster you have to pay money for the land and the corporation wants more money. The people who deserve to own the land are the people who work there and have lived there for their whole lives rather then the monster who has never been there and just charges money.

Gatsby Words 2

His feigned sadness when Sally broke her anckle didn't fool Billy, and was a suspect to who tripped her.

He Languidly did his homework and turned it in late.

Her complacency with always burning cookies never made her a successful baker.

The levity of his homework cost him his and A and wasn't able to travel.

He was extemporizing a song to the crowed and everyone thought it was interesting.

Her supericilious attitude made her lose her respect from everyone.

You can tell by Cosy's wan face he was playing basketball.

The prodigality of candy caused Sally to become broke.

The piece of cake was infinitesimal.

Kim's fractiousness came out during the basketball game and was told to leave.
