Improving the World Around You

“How wonderful it is that nobody need to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” In other words, its great that people can start improving the world right now. I think that __Anne Frank__ was right when she said this. Tons of people may argue that improving the world means doing something for all of mankind, but you can improve the world just by doing things to make others happy! People can also improve the world by helping others out, taking a stand against what is wrong, and giving to those in need.

One example of helping others out when they need help, in Traitor at __Williamsburg__ , is when Felicity and Elizabeth work hard to help Felicity’s father by finding the man who accused him of being disloyal to the patriot cause. He is accused of this because he defended a innocent man, Fiona’s father, who was being accused of having loyalty to the king. They trick him into going to a graveyard and use the clues that he left behind to figure out who he was. At the end, Felicity’s dad is cleared from his charges of being disloyal and is freed from prison. The story ends happily when he is safely at __home__ .

An example of taking a __stand__ against what is wrong comes from the Holocaust. Christians and others would hide Jews in their homes and tell the Nazis that they weren’t. It certainly was not bad to lie under those sercumtactes! If they had told them they were, the Nazis would have punished them and the Jews who were hiding in their house. Even though lots of people may argue that improving the world means ending one of the world’s biggest problems such as __global warming__ , it can be smiling at a friend that’s clearly not having a good day.

An example of someone who gives to those in need is my __mom__ . When my siblings and I used to have __birthday parties__ , she would have our friends __donate money__ to a charity or organisation instead of giving us presents! Also, my __girl scout troop__ is always donating things to others because of my mom. We’ve baked Ziti for people who have to go to the community soup kitchen and donated pictures we colored in to hospitals. My mom certainly is a wonderful donator.

Even though thousands of people may argue that in improving the world means ending pollution, it can just be picking up books that someone dropped and giving the books to them. Because you can be nice to people, you can improve the world. If we all tried to improve the world at least once a day, it would be a __better place__ . Perhaps we can all do this and make the world a better place! I wonder if every human being would be willing to do this.
