DREAMS AND LAND GRANT LETTERS
Hopes and Dreams for the World
By Sydney Australia
As I was listening to Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech, “I Have a Dream,” I started thinking. I concluded that I have dreams of my own for this world. For example, I hope that the homeless will have a roof over their head, that all over the world there would be no discrimination, and also that we can save our environment and stop global warming! I can only imagine what our world would be like if these dreams could come true.
My first dream for the world is to not have discrimination. For instance, in places such as Watsonville, there are strawberry pickers from Mexico; they are forced to take these jobs because they have come to California illegally. This is discrimination because they are not allowed to become U.S. citizens and get legal jobs. The parents who work in the fields have to also send most of the money they earn back to Mexico to support their families. One solution would be to build homes near the fields so that the workers would have a permanent place to live. This would allow the parents to bring their families to Watsonville and have affordable housing. The workers could then apply to be U.S. citizens because they would have jobs. As you can see, not having discrimination is one step closer to having a changed world.
Next, I hope that we can save our environment and stop global warming. The green house gasses are destroying our ozone layer and creating global warming. One of the causes for global warming is cars, because the gasses that come out of cars are being released into the environment. An effect from global warming is some of the animals. Many species of animals are becoming endangered, soon if global warming doesn’t end, some of those species may become extinct. One way that we can put an end to global warming is to save energy. For example, instead of driving everywhere, walk or ride your bike to some places. Also, when you’re in a room, turn off the light, or, when you have trash, throw it away in a garbage can, not on the ground. In conclusion, our earth could change and be a cleaner and happier place if we would just save energy.
My final expectation for the world is for the homeless to have a roof over their head. One big problem in our world is that many people who are homeless are forced to live outside. Some live underneath bridges, freeways, or behind buses. Others have to live in shelters away from their families, or search day and night for enough food. A solution might be to let the homeless stay somewhere with their families and not have to search for food. This way, they could stay warm and sleep inside. As a result, many people all over the world would be happier. As you can see, homelessness is a big problem almost everywhere.
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” By Anatole France.
Wrapping things up, we all have hopes or dreams for the world.
The End.
LAND GRANT LETTERS
Dear Government Official,
My name is Ana Briones Perez, and I am sending a letter requesting a land grant for 50 acres of land in Monterey, California. My husband's name is Miguel and my nine childrens'names are Sophia, Pablo, Maria, Jose, Gabriella, Juan, Victor, Ivan and Victoria. We are bringing eight pigs, two horses, five cows, and seven sheep. My family can make very warm and comfortable wool coats and has experience trading goods.
We need a place to keep all our animals and kids so our family decided that Monterey would be perfect, fertile soil and ocean..two in one! Enclosed in this letter is a diseno, which contains exactly where in Monterey we would like to live. Thank you kindly for your time.
Sincerely,
Ana Briones Perez (Kate-O)

Dear Government Official,
My Name is Rockel Pizzara and I'm writing you this letter to request a land grant. My husband is Sebastian Pizzaro. We have 12 children. We want 193 acres of land and we want to live in the mountains. For livestock, we have 4 chickens, 80 horses, 96 polar bears, and 6,000 penguins. Our livestock can make food so we can eat and trade. We want 18 rooms in our house and want it to be 20 feet wide by 8 feet wide and 9 feet tall. Make sure that it has lots of snow, too. We also want it to have apple, orange, banana, and cherry trees. We can make our economy grow by selling and trading food that we make. We've trained our livestock to make food so that we can sell and trade, too. We can also cut the fur off some of our animals for fur to sell, too. We have sent a diseño with the letter. As you can see in the diseño, it has plenty of room for a river, livestock, trees, and a house, that could be built because we want it to be 193 acres. We want to request this land grant because our house was burned down in a fire in Mexico City where we used to live. It is important to us because we are very, very poor and we need a place to live, livestock and things to eat. We would really appreciate it if you gave us this house.
Sincerely,
Rockel Pizzaro
Dear Governor,
My name is Pablo. I have two children, one is thirteen and one is eleven. My wife's name is Lucy, you might know her, she's the owner of Lucy's Groceries. Well, back to the subject. I would like this land to be about one hundred acres. I have seven chickens, four goats, and I would like to get an additional fifty head of cattle. This could help our local economy because I would be able to offer my customers a better product at better prices. I would also need to hire four ranch hands and a butcher which will bring new jobs to our community. Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Pablo Gotez
