A girl's village gets burned. Her family had to live under a plastic sheet because they had no tent and barely any food to eat. Her family had to be sent away to a refugee camp where soldiers helped give them a tent and a couple of foods for them to eat.
Explain what this made you form an opinion about.
This made me think about how greed and ignorance make such terrible things possible. It makes me sad to see the way the people of rich countries (myself included) spend their wealth so leisurely while other people suffer like this. I think we should all small ways to contribute to helping the developing world by donating time and energy to aid organizations while simultaneously working to educate our friends, family, and communties of the inequalities of the world.
Thank you for making such a thought provoking post.

Your opening sentence was amazing. It sounds horrible what happened to the girl and her family.

I liked your story even though it was very sad. I feel sorry for those people. I hope that they get a lot of help so they can live like they used to.
I would like to suggest that you put your thought in your story to make it better.
