Auction Questions

What values do the items represent?
The items represent goals that people achieve for in life. Some items were materialistic such as a new house and car while others were to help with careers such as a full ride to any college. The thing that was most important to me was a happy marriage. I think that with that you will be happy and everything else in life can be worked for.

What have you learned about yourself and your classmates?
I have learned about myself that in life ll I want is to be happy. I feel that most of my classmates feel that same way. For example, bidding for a new car is to make the winner happy,and bidding for a full ride to college is to make the bidder happy as well. 

Did you stick to the amount you originally bid for?
No I did not. I originally split my money in three ways. However as other people bids were higher then my own I realized that the most important thing to me was a happy marriage and to be happy in life so I saved all my money until that auction. 

How did temptations lore us away from our set values?
Some people were tempted by nice cars and houses and spent all their money. The temptation of wanting something materialistic rather than something that will benifit you in life overtook some people.

Explain how to attain these items.
The only way to attain these items is by wanting something enough. Having your mind set and not giving up will also help . Being a hard worker with a positive attitude will help reach any goals in life.
