Aline is rich because she is happy and values life by the finer things such as taking a cab to the movies or just being able to wake up in warmth, rather than believing happiness comes from materials and circumstance. Shes defines rich as being measurable to high spirits and satisfaction. For example in the story " She opened the fat books and fingered them, caressed and congratulated them. Books where thousands of little heaters, Aline's hands were warm and she felt good." This also shows that she takes nothing for granted no matter how miniscule.
I regret to say that I am not like Aline I take everything for granted even if I don't mean to. I live a life of privilege. Were as Aline is delighted by the prospect of eight dollars, in which case I would find it trivial. The only common ground I can find between myself and Aline is music, in the story it says, "...Lucien hung up and Aline put on the Deep Purple record out of its jacket." This tells us she likes classic rock just as myself, in which case music may be the only thing I dont take for granted. To say I am like Aline or can relate to her on higher levels would be a deception, to say I wish I could be like her would be an understatement.

100 Billion dollars
100 billion dollars is a great quantity of money and should be spent wisely and reasonably. I deserve to be given this money for multiple reasons, such as it would resolve many matters for communities. Essentuially from new recreations and enterprises.
These considerations would be immensely benifited by the people; being recreations such as playgrounds, skate parks, and dog parks that could be used as a source of entertainment for children as well as adults. Additional advantages being that it preserves wildlife and ecosystems as well as considerable oppurtunities for physical exercise. Enterprises such as local shops, restaurants and recreational businesses can be an asset by providing employment to a very large numbr of peopleas well as a great amount of income for the town.
I would choose to spend the money this way because it gives not only myself but kids, teenagers, and adults alike a way to spend their free time in a productive way
These reasons show that I would spend the money logically. This is why you should take in deep consideration in giving the money to me.
