Unfair



Unfair

          I was not clear if this was supposed to be a Slice of Life or not; the agenda only said "Why does 'unfair' test people's limits? SOL #5 should be an example of this." I am taking it as "write why 'unfair' tests people's limits." 

                                                                                                                                                                   

         People have different limits to what they find 'unfair.' For some people, like younger kids, something being 'unfair' could be that their moms didn't let them get a ring-pop at Target. For others, maybe important people, the definition of 'unfair' could be related to "Why won't the government let us buy Antarctica? It is completely unfair because we have enough money and we could use having an extra continent; it makes us seem more powerful now that we rule the penguins." 
          I think the limit of something being unfair to someone is when the person steps up and does something about it. Everyone has different times when they decide to do something. The kids probably won't do anything but yell and cry. The next day, they might decide to make a card for their parent (bribe them) so that the parent takes them back to Target and gets them candy.The important people might get a group and protest or whatnot. That is how something being 'unfair' tests people's limits.

  2. Nice Job! I really like how you didn't talk about only yourself, but the different approaches to what unfair is, and then a little about what you think.

  3. That is very true. I wouldn't think any of that was fair. Nice SOL! :)
