Page 12. “ However, the new house had only three floors: a top floor where all three bedrooms were and only one bathroom, a ground floor with a kitchen, a dining room and a new office for father (which, he presumed, had the same restrictions as the old one), and a basement where the servants slept.”

There was an old man too who, he was told, was there to prepare the vegetables everyday and wait on them at the dinner table, and who looked very unhappy but also a little angry.)”

What is a good life?

A good life is a when there is something worth living for, and there are goals in life that can be succeeded. These goals might be trained or practiced for to. The goals might not work out but, there are people that keep trying to reach their goals.

Another reason for a good life is friends. Without friends where is no one to talk to and share feelings with. Without people that care about you it will make you feel bad about yourself and you will be alone.

Another reason for a good life is to have a job that is worth wild. If you don't like your job you won't feel good about yourself.

Without all this facts there is nothing to live up to. Nothing worth living for. But if you have goals, friends and a job, which is enjoyable, that would be the best life.
