Blog #1 Poverty



Poverty? I don’t understand why poverty exists. We talk about it all the time so why don’t we do anything about it? There are some organizations that help against poverty, but if we really care about it there would less. Every day so many people die because they never have anything to eat. We could all do something to help so why don’t we.

We don’t help to stop poverty because we think to much about our selves to consider those million people who would wish for one decent meal a day. Instead they eat the smallest amount of food that we would consider just a little snack before we eat dinner. There are so many ways that we could be saving a life. One day you might find some soup cans that you don’t think you would be eating, you could bring them to a food bank and some grateful person will come and pick up that can that you put down. Wouldn’t that make you feel better, and all you did was donate some food. Just think of all the bigger things that we could be doing?

So, next time you go to throw out something that you never needed or if its food that you never ate. Think about someone’s life that you could have been saving.

  2. I love that you included an image alongside your post Dipsy. It gives your readers something a little extreme to visualize while they read your thoughts. This is a good first post but a little deeper reflection will help improve the overall quality. I really liked your introductory sentence. Good start.
