  1. I think "Beauty is whatever gives joy" means that whatever you like makes you happy. For example, I like baseball. When I go to baseball games I get so hyped up to see all of my favorite players in person. Also what gives me joy is looking at all of the history that has been at the stadium. For example, in Baltimore all homeruns are marked where the ball landed. Going to a baseball game brings me the most joy.

  2. Beauty is whatever gives joy.”  Edna St. Vincent Millay. I think this quote mean that people should be happy for the way the are. They shouldn't change the way that there personality is because someone told them to. Something that gives me joy is playing baseball with my teammates. And also especially winning. It gives me joy because when I play with my teammates they are the only people I can depend on when I step on the field. And I have also been playing it for 9 years and I enjoy it a lot.

  3. I think "beauty is whatever gives joy" means that if you like doing something you enjoy it and that makes you feel happy. For example if you like doing something you keep doing it because that's what brings your joy. Like this one movie when a guy meets a beautiful girl that makes him happy that could be someone's joy. Everyone has there own joy that makes them happy like mines football that's my beauty. That's what I think this quote means. Vance Pelino

  4. I think the quote "beauty is whatever gives joy" means that pretty much anything that makes you happy is beautiful. like for an example what gives you joy makes you smile, and what makes you smile is beautiful. That means you are enjoying yourself and you are just having a great time and that is beautiful to see someone enjoying themselves

  5. I think the quote "beauty is whatever gives joy" means that joy is beauty. Example if you see someone you know happy and smiling, that's beauty. This also means not to change for anyone and be yourself. I also think that it means when you get a new phone and when anyone gets a new phone there happy and there filled with joy which will be beauty.

  6. i think that the quote beautiful is what ever gives joy means that if you know that you are beautiful then it gives you joy. Example of this is that if someone tells you that you are not beautiful or makes fun of you then you know or tell your self that you are beautiful no matter what they say words can bring you down.

A perfect example is if you see a boy and a girl and her boyfriend says your beautiful she gets emotional and and joyful. That's because it means something special to her. This quote is very strong and pure beauty.
