To me, delayed gratification means being able to wait for something important. Delayed gratification is important, because it teaches you to feel the importance of the thing you are waiting for. If you got it as soon as you wanted it, it would not have the same importance.
Two words that helped me in history class this week were concubine and eunuch. A concubine is a woman who lives with and is connected to a man but is not his wife. In the stories we learned about in class, a king had many concubines as well as his wife. Another word that helped me in class was eunuch. A eunuch is a male who serves the royal women who is castrated. One of the main characters of a story that we learned was a eunuch, and he was not able to become emperor because he could not have children.
