Utopia

My students' homework last night was to write a couple paragraphs about their own personal utopias.  What follows are some choice lines, grammar and spelling unchanged:

"If you commit a crime you will be deported to a different country with the total opposite of my utopia." - Daniel

"But for people with allergies, they will live in a different side of town with pictures of things they like in their house." - Yessica

"My utopia wouldn't be 'perfect' as most people describe it because I don't want to wake up in the morning and already know what's gonna happen, which is what could happen if your utopia is perfect." - Melanie

"Mainly I would have no racism in my utopia.  Second, with no racism from myself I would have only mexicans and non-mexican haters." - Cristian

"I wouldn't call them slaves or maids but I want people to do stuff for me." - Joshua

"The food that we sell is sushi, steak, lobster, potatoes, fried shrimp, pina coladas, and slushies." - Thiana

"There would be an animal species called Flonkas and they would be like our servants in exchange for all the chocolate they could eat." - Aaron

"I think that riding a train to Brooklyn to see my grandmother takes too long.  I would make all forms of transportation either walking, driving, or rollercoasters." - Lawrence
