I think that gambling is a big problem because people can gamble on anything. For example some people gamble for, sports like which team will win, horse racing, cards, and numbers. Then if you lose you have to give up the amount of money that you gambled. And most of the times if a person wins they"ll think that they have good luck and bet again and again and get hook. But for most people that luck doesn't last forever and then they'll lose money. Some people just give up but others try and try again. I think that this is a big problem around the whole world. Because you might be a millionaire at one minute and then become homeless the next thats why gambling is a problem because you never know what will happen when you gamble.

I want that game really bad
I need a decent meal


I NEED SOME MONEY

Everyone has it I feel left, I don't know how long it could take.
I need to eat don't know how much more I could take.


I NEED IT BADLY

I cant take it I have to get that game
I cant take it I have to eat


LIFE IS HARD

I did a poem about poverty and how different people need different things. I wrote two different people in different social lives that have problems that are necessary for each of them. For example for the person that is average he needs to buy a game. But the person that is poor is actually thinking about eating.

I think that depending on the amount of money that you have you worry about getting different things. Because a person that has a good amount of money is probably not worrying about what to eat, since they have food they want entertainment. A poor person wants food because they are hungry and they don't think about entertainment because they cant afford it.

Weekly Reading Response

I am reading It's Kind of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini Craig the main character has many issues because he suffers really big depression and he doesn't feel like eating sometimes. He even felt like committing suicide then he actually put himself into a mental institution. I think that Craig didn't realize that he had a good life all along because he has met people in that hospital that are much worse than him, and that take a lot of medication. 

Social Awareness #1

I think that a problem in America is Standards of Living because I realized that the people that are less fortunate are not treated with the same respect as a person who does have money. I think that it is not fair to treat them different because most of them don't choose to be like that. I think that this is a social issue in america and all over the world because I have seen situations like this in school. For example I have seen kids laugh at and or make fun of a person who wears the same clothes to school almost everyday. I think that it should be stopped because most of the kids in school have clothes because of their parents. If their parents didn't have a job or was paid little I think they would be in the same situation. Some cases the parents do have a good job but care more about saving money up to buy something with much more value like a house. That's why I think that this social issue should be stopped.

I am currently reading It's Kind of a Funny Story I think that this story is good because it describes how the character feels and it shows how the main character changes throughout the book. For example I think Craig is undenial because he is depressed, he doesnt eat and want to do anything. When he spoke the the psychiatrist he even lied about hearing voices which he actually does.
