Reborn

I teach a 2nd year writing class at one of my high schools. Today's journal topic was "If you were born again, what would you like to be reborn as?" There were some pretty interesting answers. Here are some excerpts:

*I want to be a man, because I can't give birth to a baby. I don't want to see that.

*I want to be a cloud. I want to drift. But I don't speak. It is very sad. I want to speak.

*I want to be a refrigerator so every day will be cold. At this time of year, I want to be a refrigerator.

*If I am reborn, I want to be a bird. Because birds fly around. But I disagree one point. It is eating insects. I very disagree with this.

*I want to be a man, because men have quick reflexes and a comfortable change of clothes.

*I want to be a witch because a witch can do everything. For example, sleep late.

*I want to be a boy. I will be an actor walking the red carpet. Many actress enclosed.

*I want to be a witch. I want to cast a spell on a cake. I want it to transform to a big cake.

*I want to be reborn as the child of an entertainer because I can be proud of my parents. Also, I can meet other entertainers. I want to meet Arashi. When I meet them, I take pictures with them.
