Lets Fix This Gap!

There is a big gap between the rich and poor. Here is a article that I got to read about the rich and poor. It gives both sides of the rich and the poor . It also has quotes from people, some were rich and some were poor or  came from low-income family's. In the article I think most of were right in their own way.

 Like Shillman he said he earned his houses. He also said he knows many businessmen and they were not handed things. Then  he talks about some homeless people. One tells there story about how they became homeless. Its really sad when someone has there life is good and then something happens and they lose almost everything.

There was more but the one that talks and explains more is Mohamed, she came from a low-income family and her mom worked 2 jobs to support her 6 children because her dad was deported. She is going ton college because of student loans. She says "that there people looking down and people looking up and there's tons of barriers." She is right people are looking in different directions. Also Krantz said that she wants her kids to set there stars and grab it.

Many people might have different opinions on the gap between the rich and the poor. I think it happens because many people didn't have a chance to see a better way of life nor was there any one to show them the difference between a good life of working and what it can bring them. So to many that is a good life  so I do believe it can be changed but first there has to be some type of schooling that needs to be offered in our society, and maybe in all schools so that as children  we can learn about what a good life can mean. It's our job as a society to fix this gap, lets make a better world.

Rich and poor

                                                 photo  credit


So as many of you know there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor.I recently read and article about it and I totally agree agree with the man Bob Shillman.This man said if your are poor then why do you have a phone because if you really were poor then you wouldn't have anything at all.I mean just because you don't have what others have you don't have to classify yourselves as poor.Leave it to the people who are really poor. The kind of people who are poor are the ones who are out on the streets begging for anything people can offer to them.

I think this happens because people let themselves believe there poor. If you see someone that has something  then you don't you think the must have more because of what they have. Just because they have more things than anyone it doesn't make them better than everyone.Not everyone has to be the same as everyone because then we wouldn't have problems and without problems the world would be probably boring.

I don't this gap between the rich and the poor can be fixed because to many think there better than others. so unless people change which can happen there will always be a gap between the rich and poor.

It wouldn't hurt, Richies. I:I

Where I live, sometimes I see hobos and homeless people walk around with backpacks, or roll around with baskets, or just sit somewhere giving people the puppy-eyed look and begging for a piece of food. And hey have no jobs either. I don't know alot or maybe any rich people, but rich people probably have TONS of jobs and so much money that most richies just throw it out and buy  expensive things they don't really want. AND, most richies are jerkfaces and don't even think about anyone but themselves and think that they have money that could last them their whole life. This is sad. Having a HUMONGUS gap between the rich and the poor.
                Economy is bad and budget cuts are filling the atmosphere. People getting released and fired from their jobs, not enough money to pay the bills, more homeless people, and the richies becoming homeless due to careless spending and misuse of money. Ans neither richies, or companies will not help. I strongly disagree with this whole thing. Yeah there can be richies, but check this: you guys are not helping anyone with jobs, nor homeless people. We, citizens need to help, or else we will see things like in the early 60's-80's. Richies, it would't hurt if you can donate some money to hungry kids, homeless families, and taking a stand to make more jobs wanted and bulit. That money can't stay with you FOREVER. Help bridge the gap between you and the poor cause you are nothing different with your cribs and fancy-shmancy '50' inch flat screen tv's. The U.S. is supposed to be one nation for everyone, cause we are all equal.

The Gap Between the Rich and Poor

I think that Shillman is right when he explained about the TV and the cell phone saying, “I think the definition of poor today is they don’t have a 50-inch flat-screen TV,” he said. “How can you be poor, Tom… how can you say somebody is poor if they have a cell phone?” Because people now don't have much of a heart for the poor anymore and don't know the true meaning of poor. They can say, "I don't have much food to eat, I’m poor." Like you don't have "much" but at least you have something to eat. There are people out there that don't have anything at all to eat, and they have to dig through trash or beg just to get a piece of something. It really bothers be how kids misuse the meaning of poor. I have heard someone say that they shop at the 99 cent store and someone else started laughing at them and said, "Dude your poor". Like it's so immature, grow up.

I'm not quite sure why there is a gap between the rich and the poor. There shouldn't be because everyone is the same and money shouldn't matter. But it does to most people. There are groups that kids or people have divided the rich and the poor with. The poor are the ones that live in apartments or with a family member. The ones that ride the bus or that dress funny. Then there is the Rich. The rich is mainly the popular girls or boys that are in sports, live in nice houses, and dress nicely. The middle is the people that live in n average house, with regular clothes. I don't really agree with these kids that judge people and sort them in categories. Like I said before, everyone is the same and we shouldn’t get separated by our appearance.

If this gap between the rich and poor was to be fixed I think we, regular people, should be the ones to fix it. Simply by the rich hanging out with the poor, middle hanging out with rich. Just to mix things up a bit. In this case people would realize that it really doesn't matter what we look like, were all the same. The question, "Can it be fixed?" is up to us to figure it out.

My Artistic Vizualization


My artistic visualization of myself is a book. A book because I enjoy reading books a lot. Its one thing I absolutely love to do.Like a book you have to get to know me before you decide if you like or not. You can’t just look at me a say you don’t like me.If you really get to know me then you can learn to love me more than you thought you would. Then also like a book I can have a lot of surprise but you won’t know them unless you know me. So this is why I chose a book as my artistic visualization of my self. 

The Blooming Flower.

I think a blooming flower represents me because I'm am growing in life. Also I chose a blooming flower because it is blooming into its new life and is ready to explore the world. As it grows taller and sprouting its  colorful pedals it starts to mature and sees the world a little different. Its like me how I'm learning and growing to become successful in life.

Unwritten Rules Of Camping

1. Never go by yourself or walk off on your own, always have a partner.

You should never walk off by your self or go alone because you can get lost real fast in the woods. If you get lost in the woods alone it would be a lot scarier then being with someone else and would be really dangerous. Also with two or more people it would give you a better chance to be found and it would give you a better chance at finding your way back. You might think you could find your way back if you walk off by your self, but as soon as you in the woods you realize how big it is and everything looks the same. That is why you should never go alone to the woods and always have a partner when your there.

2. Never start a fire alone, and if your younger always have a adult for supervision.

You might think its really to start a fire but, its also very easy for the fire to burn out of control. If the fire gets out of control your not only putting your life in danger but your also putting the lives of others and other living things in danger that are in the woods with you. Also if you start a fire alone you might fall asleep thinking the fire will go out by it self, but there's a chance it wont. That is why you should never start a fire alone, and if your younger have an adult with you so your under supervision.

3.  Don't leave food out and have all open and food that have sent to it in a locked ice chest.

When you leave food out it brings bears and other wild animals to your camp site. If wild animals smell your food they would tear everything up to get your food they smell. It puts your life in danger and the lives of others in danger because the animal might try to attack you and others if they see you guys and they might get scared and attack to. So always put food in a looked ice chess.

These are the three rules unwritten poems to going camping.
1. Never go by alone or walk off by your self, always have a partner.
2. Never start a fire alone, if your younger always have a adult to be under supervision.
3. Don't leave food out and have all open out or foods that have scenes, put them all in a locked ice chess.
Follow these rules to have a safe and fun time or experience camping.
