Poverty Reflection

What surprised me the most about the stories was that that was not normal. I was surprised because I had no idea this was happening in our society.

Im wondering why not everyone does that at that age. Everyone should be trying to make a difference. I think the role of our society should be to step up and raise money and research so that they can make a difference. One step at a time.

They have made me realize that our world is not a perfect one and that we should try to change it.

When I read the story about the water tap, I could not believe that that was a true story. It was shocking that the only reason they found the tap, was because a boy who was used to nothing less took the first step.

When I read about the little boy coughing up blood, I was taken back. Such a big problem with his health was because of 1 little detail; the community water pit.

We all take water for granted. Everyone is aware that this is happening in other places of the world, but yet when we toss a bucket of water out after watering the plants it never occurs to us that with that bucket of water we could of saved a life.

  3. Lena, it is clear from your post that the stories made you look at the issue in a new way. A stronger introduction and conclusion will help pull all your ideas together and focus your writing more. Good first blog.
