2020 - Division II (Grades 4-8)

My piece goes with the theme, because currently people around the world are practically selling our earth; cutting trees to make cities, taking animals out there habitats or taking pieces of an animal leaving them in unimaginable pain, only for our own selfish gain. So I used a house saleswoman selling the earth not thinking about the consequences of it, or how the person who gets it will take care of it. Most may not realize it no, but if we don’t get together to find alternatives nothing will change, and soon we will all be in danger. This topic is important because we are tearing down the ecosystem for self gain. Disregarding the life of millions of animals... causing the most beautiful of creatures to go extinct, or be endangered. The irony of it is that it will come right back to bite us, example: global warming, making the icecaps melt which can cause tsunamis, destroying the homes of hundreds. I used emphasis: on the saleswoman making her the most vibrant and clear mass in the picture, balance: making the earth larger than her, color: the saleswoman’s eyes are red to show she is corrupt, value: she is shaded to make her stand out. I hope that my piece will help people see just how much people are really selling the earth and just how harmful it is, and to make them stop and think…” is this really what goes on?” We should look for safer alternatives to build our cities. Maybe try to build around trees, or plant many within the cities, and do we really need to kill animals for trophies, and fun? I hope the world can start down the road for a better change in 2020, finding better alternatives for the future.
