Pleasee help me I’m so behind:(

Prompt:
"I never want to be anything more than I am; what I don't have, I don't need."
~ Louis Armstrong, jazz musician of the Harlem Renaissance
Based on this quote, what is Mr. Armstrong's world view, or to put it another way, how does Mr. Armstrong look at life?
Why do you explain this quote in this way? Do you agree with his outlook?Why or why not?

Based on the quote, “I never want to be anything more than I am; what I don’t have, I don’t need,” Mr. Armstrong thinks that we should be grateful for what we have in life. If life gives you something, you deserve what you have and don’t need anything more. I explain the quote this way because he is basically saying that he doesn’t want to be anything better than himself, and he doesn’t need anything more in life than what he already has. I do not agree with his outlook on life because some good people are living in poverty, and they don’t deserve to live that way of life.

I hope this helps you get caught up. I know what it’s like to be behind. :)
