What would the world be like? by James, from St Kevin’s Primary School Ormond 

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if things had turned out differently? The Dinosaur Era: what would have happened if they didn’t die out? The world as we know it today would be a mess with dinosaurs roaming around! Houses, transport and buildings would be destroyed. We would all be living in fear of being a T-Rex’s lunch! It is a good thing that they died out!

The Ice Age Era: what would happen if it lasted forever? The world would be frozen and we would always be in winter. This would also mean that all the animals would die. Sea animals would slowly become extinct because all of the water would be frozen. That also means reptiles would die from the cold climate. There would be no sun for the most of the year and things that work on solar power would not be able to be used. It is good for the evolution of humans that the ice melted so we can experience different seasons and both snow and warmth.

What would happen if cavemen didn’t evolve? The cavemen evolved to benefit the world now. Imagine a world where we didn’t have a house and lived on raw animals for food. We would have no transport to move from place to place but we would still have a small range of tools to use. Therefore, the caveman evolving was vital.

What would the world be like without Fire? If you think about it, the greatest thing cavemen discovered was fire. If cavemen hadn’t discovered fire, we would be eating raw food and staying cold during winter and rain. We would not have light at night-time. We are all lucky that the cave men discovered fire.

What would the world be like if there were no nationalities? If you look around there are hundreds of different nationalities but what if there was only one?  The world would be plain! All my friends have different nationalities like Chinese, Korean, English, Sri Lankan, Scottish, Italian, Spanish, Argentinian, Maltese and Greek. For some people they wish they weren’t different but that makes you special.

How would we live if we knew the future? By watching movies and TV shows it has shown me that by knowing the future it could drive you insane. If I could look into the future and see that something bad was going to happen, I would try to prevent it. But then, by messing with the future I could also cause bad things to happen. Luckily life itself is a mystery and the future is something you shouldn’t change by your actions.

What would the world be like if you were a king? If you are into history and like to read about King Henry VIII, you would know he had everything he wanted. There are still kings and queens that rule besides Queen Elizabeth II but the responsibilities are huge! There are also benefits like being able to tell people what to do or getting a castle named after you. I know being a king would be fun but I like how I am and I think the media would be a big killer. I like the life I’m living.

What would the world be like if it was a virtual world? I know many people want a virtual gaming world but I think that it might get way out of hand. Now imagine this game. If you chose a game like Halo Wars, what would happen if you got killed? Well that’s pretty obvious, you would die! Also a virtual world could malfunction and the enemy might go psycho. This would result in total mayhem! I think the world now is good enough for everyone. There is a huge difference between needing and wanting. The Earth is great but it’s the actions you choose that make your fate.
