Are You Proud of Your Country?

 Author's Note: Do you ever think how lucky you are to have a house a school to go to and food to eat? And how other people in different countries don't have that

Do ever think how lucky you are to have a roof over your head and food to eat and loving family and friends that take care of you? Some people don’t have shelter and food to eat and not that many people to take care of them. Some people don’t even have a good environment to live in. I’m proud of the country I live and feel bad for other countries. Are you proud of the country you live in?
When people move to a new country because of their dad job or some other reason and they got enrolled into a good school and got a house to live in and they complain of the school and the house they live in. I don’t think they realize how lucky there are to get a house and a good school. In some countries some parents’ are trying to get money for their kids to get in to school and it there is lot of unemployment everywhere.

As the parents are trying to get kids into school let’s not forget the kids who don’t have any freedom. While here women are allowed to vote and in other places women can’t vote. And it’s not just the voting that makes countries bad but, it’s the slavery that is still going on around the world. Keeping children away from their parents not getting enough food to eat and hurting them if they did something wrong. How would you feel if you were forced to work for someone and get beaten up every time you did something wrong and all of that just at a young age?

While the people are being held as a slave let’s think about how people especially in Asia that have to deal with electricity problems. Over there people have to deal with no electricity for couple of hours or even more. And sometimes they have to deal with no electricity during the night and it’s really hard for them to fall asleep. Plus, it’s really hot there so having no electricity makes it even harder living there.

The next time you say the food your mom made isn’t good or complaining about moving to a new school or house or how hot your are during the summer. Think about the kids and their family in other countries that doesn’t have anything close to what you have.

My Parents

Author's Note: This  post is saying how it would be like if your parents were theating, hurting, and never getting along.

       One of my favorite books by Jack Gantos is What Would Joey Do?   Many people may wonder what it would be like to have your parents yell at each other all the time.  Also, how would it be if they would threaten and hurt each other all the time? What if you hear them screaming back and forth worth and hearing objects hitting against the wall and coming down to see glass shattered all over the floor? Jack Gantos has written some really interesting stories which helps him be the  best author for all ages

          Joey’s parent has never liked each other and always tries to threaten and hurt each other when he was a little kid. If my parents were like that when I was growing up I think that I wouldn’t be as successful I’m right now. And I wouldn’t have a good education in school if my parents would yell all the time. I think that I would be more stressful and would always be getting good grades in school and always and I would probably not be able to study for a test and then I would be behind in school which would make it more harder for me.

           Another reason it would be hard if my parents was like Joey’s parents is not just how it would affect my education in school. But, how it would affect my personality. If my parents would hurt each other and try to threaten each other. I think I would not that be happy anymore and always be stressing out. I probably couldn’t be able to live in my own house any more.

           In addition of my parents threatening each other. If they would throw glass and throw stuff at each other and every time I would come downstairs and see glass shattered all over the kitchen I would be really mad at my parents and if they keep acting like this I think it would be hard just to talk to my parents. And would not want to be seen in public with them.

           What Would Joey Do? Is one of my favorite books by the author who makes for all ages and interesting stories, Jack Gantos.
