Talking It Over

What has struck you??

-What struck me was about the movie was how the little kid died just by eating a hamburger. It goes to show that the food we eat is really unhealthy and dangerous.

Do you agree or disagree with the concepts? Why?
- In a way i agree because the point of the movie is to make us aware of what we are really eating and how the animals are being treated, but i also disagree with how the food system is so unhealthy and how the animals aren't even being fed the food they need to be healthy.

How can you apply them to the real world?
- I can be more aware of the foods i eat and i can try having my mom shop at healthier places like Trader Joe's, i cant even try eating locally grown foods from farmers markets.

What do your parents or family members think?

- My mom thought that all this was shocking, especially how the little kid died form eating a hamburger.She also thought its wrong how the animals are being treated and how they aren't being fed the right things just because they're trying to make them fatter so that they have more meat for us to eat. We both agreed that the its good for people like the little kid's mom to be exposing all this information that people might not know about the food they eat.

Quote: Like most five-year-olds, she was thrilled to be going off to school at last, and I was thrilled for her, imagining (as she did) that some truly wonderful experience must be awaiting her. It was only after several months that I began to notice that her excitement was fading — and continued to fade
month after month and year after year, until, by the time she was in the third grade she was thoroughly bored and glad for any opportunity to miss a day of school. Does this all come as strange news to you?" "Yeah," I said with a bitter laugh. "Only about eighty million kids went to bed last night praying for six feet of snow to fall so the schools would have to close."

Response: This quote from the chapter was interesting to me because i found it to be true. When your younger and just starting school you expect to be in a fun environment with fun activities and your friends, but as you get older you realize that that's not how school works. You have work to do and standards to meet in order to pass a class.Not that there is anything wrong with being challenged its just that students get tired and bored easily and tend to slack off. it could be the way the teachers are teaching or simply the amount of laziness the students have towards sitting in school all day.As we get older and school becomes harder we get lazy and not want to come to school anymore.
