"The grass is always greener on the other side



     Authors Note: this piece of writing was written to let people know that even though things others have and things they do may not always be as great as you think. The grass is not always greener on the other side(text analysis).
     Have you ever felt like your parents were unfair or thought that someone else has such a better life because they have more  money than you? That is when you would use the quote " the grass is always greener on the other side.
     The grass is always greener on the other side is a quote used to say that the things other people have or their situations always look better than your own.
sometime this is not the case. People assume that other families or people have a life that is better than their own from snap assumptions. They don’t always know the entire story.I have thought the grass was greener on the other side, or that someone had it better than I did. I assumed this because I was sometimes unhappy that my family was always sure about what was next. We could move any day and have to pack up and start all over somewhere else. I thought that all the people who never moved were lucky until I looked at my situation in a different light.
     This common used quote is referred to in many conversations, many read texts, and songs . In the song big yellow taxi the author was attempting to let people know about there mistake. she said that they had all they needed but they couldn't see what they had and know that it is gone they realized they had what they needed..  
    Finally, if you misjudge all the good things you and your family have, and always assume someone has better, you will miss all the good things you have. The grass may look greener on the other side but looks can be deceiving.
