June 7



Today, we went to the park/playground where we had an opportunity to play some games as a whole class. It was so much fun. I felt like I was five again because I felt so incredibly excited to be at the playground. The playground was so colorful and full of so many different games - such as see-saws, swings, monkey bars, slides, a train, etc. It was like children heaven. As a class we got a place in the shade underneath some trees and began playing games. We played a game called "the chicken and the monster" which consisted of a monster catching the chicken through barriers in three different ways. I felt like a kid, and I think everyone else did as well. After playing these games I realized the point of these games was to relate them to society because like in games there are rules in society - there are people who make them, people who abide by them, and people who make sure that these rules are followed through. It's like we are constrained in a world full of rules and the rulers who make them. Those rules are sometimes unfair, and completely unequal because they don't provide everyone with the same opportunities and benefits. That's why instead of abiding by them, powerlessly, we should stand up and improve, bend, and break them - if we do want to make this world a better place, a place of equality, justice, and peace.
