Reflection Question/Paragraph
Directions:
I was very suprised that many people in the world did not have as much food, as others and they did not have as much things as others and that's kind of sad if a person in the world just get's to eat one time per day then they must be very hungry everyday or if they don't have homes and its winter time I wonder how can they live like that to me just sound bad and really sad. It kind of upsets me that some people in the world don't have a meal 3 times a day like we do instead they have it once a day or even every 2 days. It also upsets me that some people do not have any shelter/home at all, I mean what if it was tunderstorming and raining or snowing and then were would the homeless people go, they would have no warm place to stay in and they would be cold and wet. I wish that there would be no homeless people and people were feed enough so they would not starve. I also wish that there was some kind of law that all the people had to have shelter when the weather outside is bad and that there was some kind of law that people who were not feed enough got feed enough like at least probably two times a day! When I see that something is not good I try to improve it because I don't want it to get worse because then if it got worse maybe then nobody can stop it and that you don't want to happen. I also wanted to try to improve the situation because it is just the right thing to do even if nobody is watching, its still the right thing to do even it nobody told you to do it you should still do it. I think that the whole world can prevent this from happening because one they can not throw away uneaten food and instead give it to homeless people so that they don't starve. Also when we don't need something any more that we can give that something to the homeless people so they have something for example we can give them used cloths that don't fit any more on you or other things.
