For the Love of Money

 Today in AP, we read a tale from The Canterbury Tales it was called "The Pardiner's Tale." The tale have a lot of morals, but my main focus was on knowing that too much money in the hand of the wrong person could become a huge issue. I believe that money could be used for a lot of good things, but some people that have the power to help change something are stingy and they only care for the power that money has for them. While we were reading the tale, Mr. Reese spoke about scriptures in the bible that strongly relates to the book, my favorite quote was from Proverbs 13:22 " A good man leads an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of a sinner is stored for the righteous." This script says a lot, one being that in order for you and your family to thrive, others must be willing to contribute to help with that, and a sinner would keep everything to himself which would lead into a struggle for that family. This story also teaches that in order to grow, you cant stay around the same crowd or you'll become just like them. The 3 rioters were all alike but they all wanted wealth but went about getting wealthy in the wrong way, which resulted in death to them all, hence the quote, "For the love of money is the root of all evil."
