Ode to 'Atmosphere'

Dear, Precious Atmosphere


  I love the way that you are protecting us from being too hot and from meteoric falling stones! You are so important and valuable to me. I need you to protect me from the hot and bright sun light!!!!!!!And now these days, the weather(and the atmosphere)is so hot and humid! I'm going to die because of sunstroke, and it's your obligation to protect us from the strong sunlight! I know that we did lots of things that were harmful to  you...But still you had to be powerful and tough to endure enough CO2s we make. You have almost three layers. Today, I was nearly dead because of the hot, humid, horrible weather. Which was your job to prevent it!
  However, I feel really sorry and I apologize to you with my true heart. I'm putting effort not to create CO2s still.....But you should understand that even if I don't use any CO2s, it doesn't make a big difference with the CO2 amounts. Still, I will put efforts to decrease the use of CO2 and I will also tell everyone...You have to be glad about that many people are now starting to think of you and are making advertisements which are based on you. And some of the advertisements are very influential. For instance, there's an advertisement which is made like a Nintendo monitor. And as  the levels go up, the environment gets hot and humid. So at last, the main character "Polar Bear" perished. I thought a lot about you after watching that advertisement, so it should be very influential to others as well .I'm so regretful that I didn't try that hard to reduce CO2s. While writing this letter to you, I realized lots of things which could help protect you. Now I know that we only have simple things to do to protect you.
 In addition, riding a bicycle when you're going to places which don't take lots of time, recycling, using fans instead of using air conditioners, saving papers...etc. Which is so simple,but,which is so hard to put in practice. I think it will help you a lot even if everybody just does two to three things a week. The mind thinking of "It's okay doing this, because, I just do it and it doesn't have a great significance". Everybody thinks like that and everybody does it. Think of billion of people thinking like that and doing the same thing. I think that's the actual hidden problem why you are so harmed.
 Anyway, you have to cheer up and just  bear up for a while. Cause if you can't endure, the weather will get more humid and it makes people to turn on the air conditioner and it creates more CO2s, and you will be more harmed. And that consequence would continue, which is the reason why global warming is happening. So, cheer up! I will put effort to reduce CO2 as much as I can, and I really appreciate your duty and work protecting us from the strong sun light, which is very significant and makes us soft, still and comfortable.
                     Sincerely, Katherine Song

  1. Hi Katherine:) I enjoyed your ode. Seems like you worked very hard on it! Just a thing I want to mention is that it'd be better if you try to avoid generic terms but instead, try to think of expressions that can really reflect how and why the subject is so special and meaningful. I hope to see more of your works:) Keep up the good work!
