Directions for ParagraphWrite about the following in paragraph format. (Don't respond to these questions individually. Incorporate them all into a paragraph.)
Also, include an appropriate image of some sort that goes with what you are saying (and give credit).: | ParagraphThe things that surprised me were that there are a lot of people in this world that don't have everything that we have. Something else that surprised me was that there are so many religions that have grown. I was so cool to learn that there have been better medicines and that people can now live longer life's. Something that upset me was that there are so many people in the world that need more help but our world isn't trying to help them. I am also upset that if people need some food, no one will give them any and that people have to walk places because they can't afford public transportation. Something else that upset me was that people have to live on the streets because they can't afford a home. I wish there were places that you could get some food for less money and have little homes that will keep the homeless people dry, warm or cold and that there is somewhere to sleep. They also would have a shower so that they don't smell bad and so that they can go find a job. Once they find one, they will start making money and soon enough, they have a new place to live. It would give the people who need it, a chance to push the redo button and start a new life. I wanted to help the homeless people because when I go to downtown Chicago, I always see homeless people and I feel so sad for them. I don't the people who have everything to go around and not help, they need your help and you don't want to help them, if you need that same help, they won't help you. You need to put yourself in their shoes. |
