Response

After finished reading the poem " Richard Cory" I realized that people can believe a rich man can be happy with money and have everything a person wants but doesn't know how that person feels inside.  This poem is quite deep. Most people would like to be like Richard because he always seems happy but once I found out he committed suicide I wonder why? He has everything a man wants so why would he commit suicide?
