• Tell me about how you have noticed clouds in society. You may talk about social media, art, music, cultures etc..  What feelings do they invoke? Do different clouds represent different things to different people?
• An example might be to write about San Francisco's infamous "Karl" the fog's following on Instagram.
• You may share a poem you wrote or a drawing or painting you created.
• You may speak about how Gavin Pretor-Pinney (of the Cloud Appreciation Society) has inspired you.

!. I noticed that clouds in society you can learn different aspect of ones life when you look up the sky, seeing different kind of clouds. People comes from different places, they have their own views in life, grow up in different situation or standard of living, but along the way, clouds can help you evaluate yourself. when you look at the sky, somehow, for that day you may realize how far you go or how far you are now. Sometimes, it gives you to the place where you feel comfortable, having peace and security. In other day, it might give you sadness or regret that somehow happens in your life.  Different people may view the clouds in different ways and clouds can represent different people. Different perspective in life, goal, ambition can make oneself differ from the other, that same as clouds that have different meaning, it depends on what kind of person he/she is.

2. I never been there in San Francisco, but, with the help of modern day technology using the internet, I saw many pictures of it, articles about it are so many spreading all over the world. Social media do a lot to inform people of the world about the foggy bridge in San Francisco. They described it as soft, flowing fog, and I really amazed of that scenery because when I watched the videos about it, it looks like heaven. The beauty and love, the peace you can have, it is so unique. Early morning, fog is so mild like it touches your skin gently, 

3. Example of a Poem

Suggest Title  - My Cloud

I have a simple life living with my family

growing in a farm, so simple and happy

every morning I wake up early

to see the sky clearing gradually 

the fascinating clouds like the child's beauty

the morning clouds, so colorful and shiny.

The clouds in the sky bring happiness to me

even when I grow up it brings calmness in me

My clouds, my family, they give the smile in my lips

My clouds sometimes looks dim,  looks like dingy

As we all know in this world, life is not always easy

But looking up to my clouds,  giving me inspiration,

Life maybe rough sometimes, but like the clouds

it moves continuously as the wind blows it

Like my clouds, what ever the color, or thickness

They are always there, just keep on looking up !

To the clouds to my clouds.
