Anticipation Guide
- My opinion is every person has a right to food, shelter, and safety and I agree
- I feel this way I feel like everyone has a right to eat food because nobody should starve or die because of hunger. Everyone has the right to shelter because everyone needs a place to protect them of danger.Of course everyone deserves safety because everyone in this world needs to have a safe place to eat, and shelter.
