A brief revealing passage from the story that has an important aspect of the entire essay can be seen on page ninty four when the author says "First lesson is to take what I can use and let the rest go by". This quote is very important because if you clutter your life up with things you do not need you could be blinded by those things. Eighner supports what I just said when he says "A thing I cannot use or make useful, perhaps by trading, has no value however fine or rare it may be" (Eighner 94).

Having more material possessions makes people less grateful for what they have and more likely to be wasteful. In his essay, Eighner describes how college students “throw out many good things, including food.” Because the students are accustomed to having so many material possessions, they do not think twice before throwing a portion of it into the dumpster. On the other hand, Eighner thinks of himself as very non-materialistic, so he only takes what he needs and is not wasteful because he does not have many remains or unused items to throw away. It might not seem

Eighner has written an article called “On Dumpster Diving” were he talks about the life of dumpster diving and about all the valuable things people throw away. In his article, he mentions college student and all the things they throw out. Mainly how they throw out fresh food and things they just don’t need anymore. Many college students do tend to throw out fresh food when the semester is about to end or when they are going on break, they also throw away things they don’t want their parents to see. Eighner makes his points reasonable when he talks about college students and the items they throw away, but it seems like he was being a bit harsh on his points, making college students seem selfish and like if they only go to college to act wild.

A) A contemporary problem raised in “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner Is the amount of wealth spent by consumers, and the effect of that. Consumers spend too much money and waste even more when they throw food and clothing away. In the essay he explains the way of life as an scavenger and how to demonstrate how people are able to live by the minimal resources although most consumers continue to buy things they do not need and continue to waste resources that may be valuable to others. Aside from food, he additionally describes the emotional impact that living out of a dumpster can have on a person. He describes finding sad things such as "abandoned teddy bears, shredded wedding books, and pets lying in state." Seeing the pets makes him think about his dog Lizbeth and how she is likely to end up with a dumpster as her final resting place, as Eighner does not see himself having a place for her before she passes on. Rummaging causes Eighner to consider how much individuals underestimate, including the way that they can purchase something new to replace something old that they have discarded. He feels frustrated because of the individuals who don 't have that extravagance.

Matthew Donnelly loved life. But Matthew wanted to die. For thirty years, he had conducted research on the use of x-rays. Now, skin cancer riddled his tortured body. He had lost his nose, his left hand, two fingers on his right hand, and part of his jaw. He was left blind and was slowly deteriorating. The pain was unrelenting. Doctors estimated that he had a year to live. Lying in bed with excruciating pain, he pleaded to be put out of his misery, he wanted to die now. His pleas went unanswered. Then, one day, Mathews brother Harold, unable to ignore Matthews repeated cry, removed a .30 caliber pistol from his dresser, walked to the hospital, and shot and killed his brother. Harold was tried for murder. As someone going into the medical field and after several hours of research, this issue has left me wondering whether physician assisted suicide is ethical or not. I plan to discuss the concerns and the values that underlie in this issue.

The characteristics are impressively diverse from those most would associate with everyday life.
