Hello guys my name is Rodney. I am deaf and I am funny. I am also very shy but only around my new friends. I am 8 years old and I am from the deaf world. That means if you are deaf, you are by yourself in the world. I am going to tell about the social issue that we are having. A social issue is an issue that affects everybody in a community. The issue that we are having is that elephants are getting extinct like saber-toothed tiger! This is because the poachers are killing them to get the ivory from their tusks.

In this essay, I am going to tell you the issue .The issue we are having is that elephants are getting endangered. My solution is stop buying ivory jewelry so the poacher could stop killing elephants. What did they do to you huh? You should buy diamonds instead.

The issue that we are having is that poachers are still killing elephants. My solution is to ban the ivory poaching so the poachers could stop killing endangered animals so, we will have pets like dogs, cats, turtles.

In conclusion, I want you to know that elephants are getting extinct! If you know someone that is a poacher tell them to stop killing elephants because they nice to you and what did they do to you

Rodney,
I enjoyed reading your essay about elephants. I will never buy ivory jewelry, I promise! Like you, I think it is wrong to kill animals and wear parts of their body as jewelry. You can be sure that you will never see me wearing a piece of ivory jewelry. Thank you for spreading the message so that more people can become aware of this terrible problem.
Sincerely,
Ms. Genzlinger

Rodney,
Poaching is a horrible thing !! The poachers just leave the elephants body to decay and only sometimes doea a lion or hyena appen to come along for a "free meal". Otherwise...wasted. The poachers are so often Africans themselves who are so money hungry that they don't care about their own country as long as they have money. Poachers are greedy and selfish too because they take something as magnificent as an elephant away from everyone. I do not and never will own irovy and I also do not have any animal clothing ( no real leather boots or purses or belts ). I do not belive we should wear animals on our bodies. Great job on your essay !!

Your essay rules! You and the other Brown Scholars should be really proud of all the hard work you have done to tell people about this social issue.

Rodney,

It's good to be in this world with you and the elephants. I agree, we have a lot of work to do if we are going to save them before they become extinct. Due to you convincing argument I promise to never by any ivory again. I was actually going to buy myself and ivory comb for my birthday. Instead ,thanks to your advice, I am going to go to Rite Aid and buy a plastic one. Thanks for sharing your essay. I learned alot.

Congratulations on posting your essay, Rodney! I agree with your solutions. I think there are lots of ways to make jewelry that don't involve killing elephants. Thank you for making me more aware of this social issue.

Rodney,

I am proud that you wrote about protecting elephants. I am really excited that I now know of another topic we can use this summer to work on your writing. I cannot wait to see how much of a better writer you become.
