2nd PLACE

A Better World by Autumn Laing, age 8 If I could make the world better, I would make every person safe every day. It would be better if there weren't allergies. I would like it if there were no wars and every country was safe. I wish there were no robbers in the world, and no bullies. There would be garbage pails at every store in the world so that people wouldn't litter. I wish that nobody would get hurt. I think that everyone should be happy. There could be no bad words at all. If there were no bad people it would be great. You could do anything without a problem. I think that people would have a better life. That is my perfect world.

3rd PLACE

Snow White's Better World by Taylor Brandie, age 8 Once upon a time, there was a princess named Snow White. She was not very happy with how the world was. At lunch Snow White started to day dream. She day dreamed about how the world would be if she could re-create it. She dreamed that everyone was happy and never mad. Flowers and green grass covered the land and all animals were free. There was no garbage on the ground. The land was beautiful. We didn't need any more war so no soldiers would die. But we still needed doctors and hospitals. Once Snow White woke up it was dinner time. That night she started to dream again. Snow White dreamed some more things about how the world would be. Now she dreamed that there were no poachers and no robbers. The next night, Snow White saw a star. She made a wish and in the morning when she woke up she got dressed and looked outside. She saw her land and it looked like her dream. She lived happily ever after. THE END

Honourable Mention

A Perfect World by Adam Robinson One there was a world of no pollution, no terrorism, no robberies, and everything was recycled! It was a world of peace in the year 3000. The technology was very advanced. People used solar powered cars and solar powered houses, electric trains and electric boats. Factories had special devices that stopped air and water pollution. People didn't care about any aliens invading because the whole world was surrounded by an electric force field. The world was peaceful because people had hated all of the wars. Too many people had been killed. That's what I think of a perfect world! by: Adam Robinson

A Better World by Cassidy Logsdon, age 8 If I could really make a better world, I would make it like this: The houses would be beautiful. There would be lots of flowers. There would be no wars because we wouldn't have to fight for peace. There would be no guns or weapons. There would be solar powered cars. Nobody would be scared to go to other people's houses because nobody would be mean. Everybody could trust everybody in the world. There would be no terrorist attacks!!! There would be three hours of school and no homework because after school is a time to play! School would start at 10:00am and end at 2:00pm. Nobody would get sick. Everyone would live to be 100. There would be a lot of animals. There would be no leg-hold traps or fur farms because skinning animals is wrong! There wouldn't have to be protests because everything would be good. There would be no bullies. There would be no trash anywhere. People wouldn't get hurt. People wouldn't have to get divorced because they would be nice to each other.
