The hard life for the trash boys

                                 

                                              Living in garbage and without any pesos
                                                    Living without food or new shirts
                                                      Living with stealing and robing
                                                  Life with muddy feet with no shoes    
                                                 Life pick up trash for not much money
                                                  Life is finding bottles and used food
                                            Until you find a black bag with a clue inside
                                          Until you start running and lying from the police
                                               Until you see died bodys and find money
                                                 Until six millon dollars is in your hands
                                         Until you say good bye to yours friends and famliy
                                  Until then you may never know what it is like living in trash

life ina trash boy part 2

3.  Read the paragraph on pg 149 that begins with, "I learned more than any university could ever teach me."  What do you think about Olivia's perspective about money?  How do you think her experience at the Behala dumpsite has changed her?

I think that Olivia has more respect for money because she lived in a place that if you don't have money then you will shrivel and die. I think that Olivia's experience has opened up her eyes to see how people live with not a lot of water and if there is no rain there is no crops, food or water.

4.  Read the four newspaper articles on pages 186 - 189.  Which one has the most liberal or anti-Zapanta perspective?  Which one has the most conservative or pro-Zapanta perspective?

The newspaper with the most anti-Zapanta I think has to be the newspaper ENOUGH is enough, say students. It says that the he has "millons in his home and that he should not be re-elected for Vice President." It also "say goodbye to bad  and greedy old man."The newspaper with the most pro-Zapanta has to be ZAPANTA MOURNS HIS LOSS! I think that this newspaper has more  pro-Zapanta his because it says that he is "not available for a comment and that the vice president has always campaigned for wider education."
