Our world, pirouetting through space. Our world, existing, floating, and not falling. Our wondrous world in which we live is something remarkable. Not only in space, but also living on it. On this earth, the trees dance as the wind twirls around it. The oceans wave goodbye as you leave the beach. The clouds form portraits in the sky with the vibrant colors at sunset. The dew on the grass greets you every summer morning. The rain tumbles from the clouds and taps the ground as if it were dancing. The leaves change every fall, with a splash of new color, before sailing down to the ground. The snow tumbles from the sky in white sparkles, and forms a white blanket on the ground.
All of these marvelous things happen, and we choose to treat our world as if it doesn't matter. We treat our world as if we don't need it, as if we'd be better of without it. We do need our world in order to exist. We need to praise the world for all the beauty it gives us, not put it to shame by littering, cutting down trees, and simply just not taking care of it. There is a saying that says "treat others how you want to be treated." Would we want the earth to treat us in this way? Do we want the earth to not care for us, and give us the life we live? Without our wondrous world, we would not exist, and we need to treat our world the way it deserves.
Our earth provides us with astonishing places and scenery. It hands us water, and air. It gives us a place to call home. Yet it does not ever ask for anything in return. This world is the only beautiful thing we know. We don't know that much on what the other planets look like, our earth is the most beautiful of them all. Why waste this grace and beauty when we could use it, and care for it? We need to keep this world as clean, and stunning as it has always been, or else if we don't, we might loose it forever.
Our word is completely fascinating. The amazing places, and this amazing scenery was not made by us, it is all natural. All of this beauty was made by our wondrous world. The Grand Canyon, all of the mountains, the oceans, the rivers, the forests, the waterfalls, they were made by this earth. We cannot take credit for this magic that has happened. We need to give the credit to our world, and give it the recognition it deserves by treating it well. No littering, no burning down trees. Just living our life and treating this absolutely stunning world, the way it should be treated. Take moment and just take in the beauty of our world, because it's beauty is one thing that can never be replaced.
Lizzie, you immediately had me hooked on this post with your first sentence. The whole opening paragraph was filled with great repetition, imagery, and personification. I love how you specified each aspect of nature and explained it's beauty and elegance. The overall tone of this post I found to be appreciative and caring due to the way you explained the world and how beneficial it is to our lives. I agree with you that we don't appreciate nature and the world as much as we should. We need to realize that without it, we wouldn't be here and wouldn't be able to live a happy and content life. The world should be the first thing we think about before we start bad habits like you said littering. I think the problem we are starting to face with saving our world is the fact that our society as a whole has progressively gotten lazier and lazier which doesn't benefit anyone or anything. We all need to start putting everything else in front of ourselves and caring for what really matters rather than just making sure we are okay and that's it. If we should "treat others the way we want to be treated" then there is a lot of work to be done, especially in our modern society. Great post Lizzie! :)
