| Write a blog entry called, "If the World Were a Village" and write about the following in paragraph format. (Don't respond to these questions individually. Incorporate them all into a paragraph.)
| This was a cool book. I was surprised that there are so many people and their languages that they can speak. I am upset that there is a lot of people in the world that don't have things like electricity. It is really sad because a lot of people miss out on things a lot of other people get to experience. I really wanted to improve this situation be helping out with a many people as a can so that as many people as possible can be helped. I could help people by making extra food and I could help out by doing community service. |
