Trash Questions Round two

1. 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’s perspective on money is sadly true. I think that She uses a great example of money, that it is like water. Although is a disagree when she says money is more important than trust and love to most people. Maybe in Behala it is, but for most people if the trust and love or bond is strong enough it is more important than money. I think that it has changed her for the better and worse. for the better because she got to help unfortunate children and people, ad she now knows the truth about third world countries. It has changed her for the worse because on the other side of that scale she is also scarred by the raw truth of poverty. Another reason Olivia is changed for the worse is that she can never go back to behala, so she most likely feels sad she can’t go back and help more unfortunate children.







2. 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?  Use examples from each article to support your opinion.              I think the university voice is the most anti- Zapanta news article. the Article talks about how this country could mover forward but not until they say goodbye to bad, greedy old men. The author of the article even says he would add this quote to Zapanta’s campaign slogan “The most questionable conscience and the blackest heart”.  I think Star extra is the most pro-Zapanta Article. Although this article is more informational and less opinionated. I also think the Author is blind to the truth that Zapanta is a liar and thief. For example, the author says “All we can say is that we are confident that a breakthrough is imminent.”The author says this about the stolen six million dollar police case. I think this means that the author is confident that the police will catchy the thief and Zapanta will get his justice, the author says this like it is a good thing.







3. Describe the scene at the cemetery during day of the dead. Why do you think the author, Andy Mulligan, would end the book in this setting?        I think Andy Mulligan would end the book in this setting because cemeteries are places of death but also good things like the death is the end of someones life, and the end of the book is at a cemetery a place of death. Understand what I'm trying to say. I also think that  the author would have it be the day of the dead because the day of the dead is a time of remembrance and love of your family that has moved on. I think it was smart of Andy Mulligan to have it be the day of the dead, because the boys find Pia Dante sitting right by her grave. It’s like she coming back to life, on the day of the dead! Even though she was
never actually dead.
