Daniel's Story: Hope vs. Food in the Ghetto

In the ghetto hope is more important than food. Hope is will to live and without will to live you will be almost helpless against death. Without the will to live you will die from starvation because you don't want to live. If you had all the bread you could eat you would still die without the will to live.

One example of hope from the book is Daniel's family having a radio, because they know what is going on in the war. Another example of hope is helping other people, like when Daniel and Rosa steal bread from the dad that was stealing bread from his kids, because you give hope to the kids whose dad was stealing because they have food to survive on. Helping others gives you hope because you know that you potentially saved someone’s life.

You can survive longer without food then without the will to live. That makes hope and the will to live more important than bread.

Video Games, Good or Bad?

Video games can be good and bad depending on how you look at it. One reason video are good is that they can they can increase your hand-eye coordination.  Another reason they are good is that they entertain people so they don't get annoying. One more reason they are good is that some are educational.

Video games are bad because some people get addicted to games like World of Warcraft and play them all day. One reason they are bad is that they can cause some people to be more violent. Another reason they are bad is that they cost money, and some even require a monthly subscription to play. One more reason they can be bad that people who play too many video games and become obese because they don't get enough exercise.

My opinion is that video games are good if you don't play them all day every day, and you don't play games that require a subscription to play. I think it is okay to play some game that require a monthly subscription to play, but only if it is less than 10 dollars a month and you enjoy the game, and don't play it just because some of your friends play it.

Whether video games are good or bad depend on the person you ask. Some people focus on the bad points about video games, such as the cost, people getting addicted, etc. Other people focus on the good points of video game like some being educational, increasing hand eye coordination, and keeping people entertained.
