About Property

E. M. Forster’s essay is about owning property and its effects. He discusses four main effects the wood may have on him. First, property makes people avaricious. Secondly, it makes people want more and more each day. Third, people need to demonstrate what they possess. So, they need to do something with their possession. Finally, people turn too egoist as a result of their wood. In other words, people cannot share their stuffs. These are author’s point of view. In my opinion, most people experience such feeling. The property signifies personal self-governing in the minds of most people. Property makes people in a way that they behave in conformity with wanting more and more and nothing is enough. In this essay the author uses various tones, such as serious and a little sarcastic.
