Pluto: Who Am I? by Charles Groth
Hello, my name is Pluto and I am not a dog. I am the dwarf planet Pluto and I think that I should be a planet. Even though my mass is small, my core is cold, and I am a frozen wasteland, I was called a planet before, and I should be called a planet again. Do you like being called something you like, then having that title stripped away from you? What if you had the title of being a Quarterback in Football and soon became towel boy? That's how I feel now. Being like that will change you as much as it is changing me. I would certainly want to be called the Quarterback rather then the Towel boy. Would you rather be called a dwarf planet, or a planet?
Though I'm 700 miles smaller then the Earth's Satellite, I'm still a planet. I even have my own moon. How many planets don't have moons? Very few and I'm what you call a dwarf planet, and how many dwarf planets have moons? Very few like the first answer. I belong to the Kuiper Belt, and though there may be an object in that belt bigger then me, I doubt that you'd rather want me in your Solar System then that object, but think of the good times we had together? Remember when that one dude discovered me? Remember all those research projects done on me? I'm more famous then Neptune and Uranus. Don t be as cold hearted as my core, have a sun like heart and bring me back into your Solar System as a planet.
Being a Dwarf planet is very embarrassing. Neptune laughs at me, Uranus calls me names, and Earth is the worst of them all. Not only does Earth make fun of me, but it is the only planet with living life forms, and Earth's life forms all talk about me and how I'm not really a planet. I don't like being talked about and when I'm talked about; I especially don't like being called a dwarf planet. Do you like it when people talk about you in a bad way? I'm out here in the cold, away from your Earth, and yet people can see me and constantly talk about me. I should be a real planet. Remember the story of Pinocchio? How he wanted to be a real boy is how I want to be a real planet like your Earth. I hate having the title of a Dwarf Planet.
I only have two friends in the universe. Quaoar and Sedna are my only two friends out here. They are the only planets, or should I say dwarf planets, who are my friends. Quaoar is about 600 miles smaller then me, and Sedna is about 600-300 miles smaller then me. You also make fun of them too. That's not nice at all. Just cause we're dwarf planets from the Kuiper belt doesn't mean that you should constantly make fun of us. Being a dwarf planet would definitely change you, it has certainly changed me and my two pals. Don't make me have to shed tears on this subject. Being a Dwarf planet is harder then you think. The constant criticism is more then I can handle. Why don't you try being one for a day? Living like this is hard, and of all the people in the universe, you are the only ones to make me a dwarf planet.
