group of people who the same color of paper as you. There was a red color, green, and yellow. The red

was low income and they sat in a box on the ground. The Yellow was high class and they sat at a table

with a tablecloth, silver wear, and glass cups. The green was middle class, they sat at a table that had

plastic silver wear, plastic plates, and plastic cups. The low income only had ¾ of plain white rice and

having one of the low income people represent a child who was very smart and wanted to go to college

but couldn’t because his family couldn’t afford to put him through college. She then used a person from

the high income group to represent a student who did not have the grades to get into med school but

her parents could afford to put her through college for another major.

In the information that Renee gave she mentioned that world hunger is based on world power and

that there is enough food on the universe to feed everyone and that it is all about power. As being a part

of the middle class table I was kind of jealous just for the fact they got served and has way more than

the middle class and the low income. I also felt bad for the fact that the low income barely got any and

to know there are people out there suffering like that is heart breaking. I wish there was something I

could do to help out but the only thing I can do is pray they find happiness and find food to help them

The Miskitos, indigenous people of Central America, have been living and farming according to natural

rhythms ever since their state was formed in the early 1600s. But now something is going badly wrong,

in the past few years they have no longer been able to predict the seasons, so they don’t know when to

plant. Traditional signs found in nature—white cranes, flowering avocado plants, silver fish, and flashes

of lightning are no longer heralding the rain.

The changing climate is having a devastating effect on the Miskito people, who live in wooden huts and

subsist on crops planted on a few hectares of land and food hunted from the jungle and rivers.

    Ted uses a lot of imagery in his free verse poem “Depression Glass” by using our five senses: see, touch, taste, feel, and hear. In line one, “It seemed those rose-pink dishes”, seems to be the main focus in this poem while they are used for special occasions, they still have an issue keeping something hot, “the plates like the panes of ice”.

I take this as perhaps a regular mug would have been a better choice, but the hostess realized that it would have just clashed with the rest of the set like an eyesore.…

    Barbara Ehrenreich decided to test an experiment and enter in low- wage jobs to see if it’s possible to live on a minimum wage salary. Throughout her experiment Ehrenreich plunged herself right in and shortly discovered how difficult it was to afford the basic necessities, such as, paying rent, having money for food and clothes, and having health benefits. Through her experience, Ehrenreich finds that minimum wage jobs do not make it possible to get by in America because they do not give workers enough money to provide for themselves or their families. Through her studies, Ehrenreich works with many different people with many different backgrounds.…
