Looking at “Inner Contentment” and “Love Yours,” the authors of both of these texts make various claims about what can and what cannot make a person happy. Keeping in mind the implications and arguments made in these texts, plus at least one additional external text, how does a person obtain happiness? When you are writing this, it is very important to examine the assertions made regarding what does NOT bring happiness, too.

This essay will need to be 4-5 pages and must adhere to MLA formatting.

Make sure that you are directly answering the question of the prompt in your thesis and your topic sentences.

Make sure that you are supporting all of your arguments with textual evidence- personal stories and opinions should not be in this essay.
