Do you ever Feel powerless? By Andwele Pizarro

       In the Black Dragon  Codex, A black hatch-ling  named Septimis found the object that would grow his horde to a size that would gain him the approval of his mother . As the prize was a bout to be his it was stolen by a real human. Enraged by the dishonor and the time it took to plan to this very moment he burst out of his human disguise and ruined the auction house. When he returned to his mother she was locked in intense battle and in the end she lost and was captured and to evade capture Septimis was turned into a human. Now motherless and no longer having the power to fight back.
         As a normal American child it is normal for me to feel powerless sometimes. Compared to how it was maybe, 40 or so years ago I might as well be the president. where children supposed to be seen and not heard. Talk only when spoken to by an  adult. Where  certain pieces of furniture were only for adults to sit on  and all of the kids visiting or who lived there had to cram onto a single uncomfortable chair, and where even you could not whistle inside the house and girls could not wear pants. And every adult was either a sir or ma'am regardless or relation to you.  Comparing my liberties and restrictions to those just a generation before me I feel ridiculous for whining about not getting this and  that when the previous generation could barely move!  When i start complaining about not getting something my way next time i will think about what people went through on a short time ago.
