Student Blogging Challenge Story

This is my picture prompt story. I used a copyright-free image from creative commons. Here is the link:https://search.creativecommons.org/photos/e73a158a-5bb3-47f9-9e43-6a297b106453 Osprey bird

One day there was a bird. The bird decided to go to Costco to get some toilet paper. She could not find any toilet paper so she was sad. But then she had an idea. She made toilet paper! She sold it to her bird friends and they were all happy!

Copyright Fines

For the Student Blogging Challenge I made a blog post about copyright.

According to

Copyright Infringement Penalties – Purdue University

copyright fines could be up to 150000. You have to be careful not to use copyrighted pictures!

I also drew a picture. Here it is:

How to Help Close the Hunger Gap

1. Explain what the four factors of poverty are and how they impact one’s life.
The four factors of poverty are;

  1. Household/Family: If you have, for example, a lot of siblings, your family would spend a lot more money so you would have less money left.
  2. Health: If you have an illness like diabetes or something that you need medicine for, the cost of the medicine could become expensive.
  3. Geography: If you live in a poorer neighborhood, that can affect your health.
  4. Education: If you don’t have a good education, you can’t get a good job, and you can’t make a lot of money.
    2. Explain how the cycle of poverty works.

If you have a child and you are in poverty, then;

  • Your child can’t get a good education
  • They can’t get a well-paying job
  • If they have a child, their child will also end up in poverty.3. How do we help people get healthy food cheaply (make sure your answer is realistic)?

Food stamps, like SNAP, can help, but also places like St. Bens and The Gathering can help people get good food for free, so if there were more places like that, more people could have good food. We could also donate food to help people get food.

What government policy suggestions do you have?

I think that anyone in need of food stamps should get them.

What changes can you/we make to help?

We can go to The Gathering more and help people in need and also donate food to people in need.
Defend your answer.

The Gathering helps people get good food, so it could help poverty. However, it is not a forever fix, and donated food might also not help as much.

If I were on SNAPS…

1. What is SNAPS?

SNAPS is the “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program”. It helps people get food when they need it.

2. What is the average monthly benefit for someone on SNAPS?

The average monthly benefit for someone on SNAPS is $126

3. On average, I spend $18.69 on food per week.

4. My life would be different if I were on SNAPS because…

My life would be different because I would have a limit of food that I could eat.

Cycle of Poverty

1. What factors can lead to poverty?

The factors that lead to poverty are:

  • Household: If you need to fix your house or something, it can cost a lot.
  • Family: If your parents have no jobs, or you only have one parent, it’s a lot harder to live.
  • Education: If you or your parents don’t have good education, they (or you) can’t get a good job.
  • Health: If you live in an area with more pollution, you could get sick but have no money to get medicine or go to the doctor.

3. How can poverty affect succeeding generations?

It can affect succeeding generations because it’s really hard to get out of poverty. You might not get a good education, and then you can’t get a good job. If you every did anything bad to get food, like steal, you might have a bad reputation. Also you wouldn’t have that much money to get a new house or anything.
