But, but, but.... I want what she's wearing!!


Let's see if you can guess correctly what rhetorical modes I have used to write about JEALOUSY.

1.) Jealousy can be most apparent by looking at the actions of children. A circumstance that easily projects jealousy is when a child grows feelings of obsession toward a toy and resentment toward the other child who possess the toy.

2.) People can show many different types of jealousy. In order to gain a better understanding of jealousy, it can be divided up into four different forms; sibling rivalry, workplace jealousy, romantic jealousy, and platonic jealousy. Sibling rivalry can occur to any member of the family no matter the age. Jealousy can occur by a parent giving more attention toward a specific child compared to the other children. Next, workplace jealousy can form when a worker feels as if their coworker is getting more positive feedback from the boss than themselves. For romantic jealousy, this can develop if one partner in the romantic relationship invests more attention and time to another person outside of the romantic relationship, while the other partner forms the feelings of jealousy. Compared to romantic jealousy, platonic jealousy focuses more on jealousy arising from friendships. This can form if two friends are competing for a certain object or fear of being replaced by a third party. 

3.) The causation of jealousy is when one person is envious of another person, whether it would be because of their looks, accomplishments, or possessions. Jealousy can lead to the unhappiness, uncontrollable obsession, buildup of hatred within relationships, and so much more. Each person is different in their own personalities, therefore leading to different outcomes. 

4.) Being surrounded by so many beautiful girls in high school was enough to hijack my desire to look just like them. I would do anything to trade my dirty blonde hair for their platinum blonde hair, my average pigmented skin for their porcelain skin, my short and chubby body for their lean, sexy looking body, anything! Just as long as I can be just as, or even more, beautiful than them. 

5.) Jealousy is the feeling or state of being jealous. Jealous is showing or feeling desire for another person's possession or achievements. 

6.)  Jealousy generated from adults is extremely different from jealousy generated from children. Children easily become jealous by wanting  materialistic items from other children and most importantly idealistic ideas such as the perfect birthday party, family, and vacations that "other children are able to experience". Adults may be jealous of other people in these similar topics, but are able to take into account of the realistic factors of life and are able to move on from the jealous feelings.
