A Road to Freedom

Once upon a time, there was a country called “Ice Country”. In this

country there were ice everywhere, the climate was cold all year round. A

little boy grew up here, his name is Toshiro. He lived with his parents and

his cousin, Hinamori. In the “Ice Country” was the ice made traveling very

hard, people couldn’t go anywhere. There was also lack of services, the

government wouldn’t provide anything for the people. Then the people had

to wait until the ice had melted a little and traveling work again. The country

as also too crowded, people kept moving into the country. They thought that

the country had everything they need. These push factors caused Toshiro’s

family to flee to another country to settle. Although “Ice Country” had been

their homeland for generations, because of the future for the family,

Toshiro’s parents decided it would be best if they move. There were still

many countries which were not crowded, but the family had decided to

relocate to “Love, Happiness and Freedom Country”.

         “Love, Happiness and Freedom Country” had many pull factors: the

government provided the citizens with enough services, the climate and

weather was always peaceful here. Also the country had few people, few

people made the environment clean. It also made traveling into an

affordable thing. The benefits of going to this country were: Toshiro and

his cousin could have more education since the traveling was so easy, they

couldn’t be sick so easily because the environment is so clean. The family

could have anything they want now that the government provided good

services. There could also be negative benefits here: Toshiro and his cousin

will miss all their good friends back in the “Ice Country”, if the education

didn’t suit Toshiro and his cousin they couldn’t get any. Also if there’s too

little people they can’t interact. When they leave “ Ice Country”, there’s

good benefits: the family can escape poverty, find hope for their next

generations, avoid sickness,etc. Bad benefits could also be luring behind

them: have to made a lot of paperwork, leave their family, friends and

neighbors behind them. Toshiro and his cousin have to learn the “Love,

Happiness and Freedom Country” official language. When Toshiro finished

thinking these things, the family already arrived at the airport. They’ve gone

through all the customs, then they found themselves on a plane. After that,

the family settle in “Love, Happiness and Freedom Country” until now.
