Taste of Salt Anticipation Guide

1. Politics and political problems are a subject for adults to deal with.
• I disagree because everyone has their freedom of speech, meaning they have the right to say what they want. This is also called Human Rights. So, politics and political problems aren’t only for adults, kids and teens also have the right to state their opinion. Even though it may not be the right thing to do, at least everyone is equal.

2. All scenarios can have a happy ending if those involved work towards it.
• I agree and disagree. I agree because if someone is born into a nice family, but then something bad happens to his/her family, then that person can work towards making his/her life better. I disagree because if you are born and raised into a bad family, then there’s really nothing you can do to overcome that situation. Also, there are certain situations in which there is nothing you can do to make it better.

3. Literacy (knowing how to read or write) is a form of freedom.
• I agree and disagree. I agree because when someone knows how to read or write, that opens a door to many things. For example, they can express themselves, and they can learn about things. I disagree because sometimes when a person knows too much, they can get in trouble because if someone expresses himself or herself and offends somebody else, then that might not be a good thing.

4. Civilizations without a written language cannot effectively document hist
• I agree because without a written language, we wouldn’t have been able to learn about all those ancient civilizations. For example, if ancient Mesopotamia didn’t have a written language to document things, then we would never have learned about those civilizations, no one would have known about it, and people would have made things up about the past. But since Mesopotamia did, we know about what happened then, and that helped us to understand our own civilization.

Be a Social!

If you want to be part of a good-natured group, join ours…The Socials. Trust me, we are so much better than those stinky, greasy haired greasers. We actually have parents who care! We also have money for shelter, food, and a good education, something that Greasers will never be able to get. Plus, we don’t commit crimes, and hey…we have nice things.

Greasers are mean hoodlums who have nothing better to do than steal and beat people up for no reason, (they steal from stores, and they are known for having a bad reputation) and they also don’t know how to behave. We are so much more mannered than them, and we don’t need to steal things, because we actually have the money! If you join our group, you will have enough money to buy whatever you want, and you’ll never have to commit a crime by stealing. Doesn’t that sound so much more appealing?

Us Socials have parents who want the best for us. They want us to succeed in life and have the best education we can. Most of the Greasers don’t have parents! But, if they did, they’re always drunk, they smoke the whole day, and some even take drugs. They’re parent also don’t care about their children. They don’t even try to provide for them. Would you want to live with people like that? I don’t think so. Our parent would provide for us as much as they could. With the money we have, we can buy food, have shelter, and an extremely good education. That sounds so much better than having none of that.

Since we have money, its normal for us to have things that please us, including houses that spacious. Imagine having everything you ever wanted…that red care with the stereo, that charm bracelet made of 24 karat gold, that 1959 Victorian house with the golden railings…etc. well, if you join our group…that’s what you’ll get. Those poor, good-for-nothing Greasers live in shacks that can barely hold themselves up. They live in the same shirt and jeans the entire year, and to add to that they rarely take showers (which explains why they stick tons of grease in their hair). So, to add to that…THEY’RE DIRTY, and THEY SMELL! Wouldn’t want to be next to that all day, would you? Us Socials also have nice houses, cars, and clothes. If you come hang out with us, you can have that too.

What do you think, aren’t we better? Believe me, if they wrote you this letter, you wouldn’t understand what they’re saying because of their bad grammar. So, after reading this, your choice, hopefully, is to join our group and have the best time of your life. Don’t ruin your life by joining their group, seriously, don’t.

See you soon!
