Point	Example	Evidence
The power of corruption.	Some people make people pay to get into places. But the money goes to the local people, not to the government.	“I can check in a moment’ he said. ‘But I think it will be ten thousand pesos. And a receipt – with the governor so busy…”(page 90)
The power of corruption.	Some police can be corrupted and do things there not suppose to. But the people don’t know that, so they do it anyway.	“I remember warm air. I remember suddenly I was out, and the hand holding my arm let go, and I was upside down, held by just one ankle.”(page 63)
The power of corruption.	Some people steal from the government, and other people can get accused.	“What matters is that forty years ago I came upon information that Senator Zapanta had spirited away thirty million dollars of international aid money”(page 102)

Blog #2 Poverty in Indonesia

Blog #2 Poverty in Indonesia

It is believed that more than 50% of Indonesian people only make 2 dollars a day (or even less). Almost everywhere in Indonesia you can see beggars, and people with no homes. The best thing to do when you see a beggar is to give some food or take them somewhere to eat, because sometimes beggars work for other people. Some beggars give all their money to whom they work for; in exchange they get a little bit of rice and a place to sleep. One of the reasons of poverty is the lack of education. Kids are not able to go to school, because of the lack of money or parents not knowing how important education can be. A solution might be that the government could set up more free local schools all around Indonesia, so kids can be well educated and find a job. One of the biggest problems (in my opinion) would be hunger. 28% of children in Indonesia are underweight due to hunger, and 44 percent facing stunted growth (meaning not able to grow). Without enough nutrition kids under five will possibly die. A solution could be the government could subsidize food in the local schools and shops for poor people (subsidize means that someone pays a part of something to make it less expensive, so poor people can afford it).

Blog #1 My First Impressions

Blog #1 My first impressions

This book really was different to the others that I have read before. After a few chapters reading Trash I knew that it would be adventurous and mysterious. Its about some boys that live in a dumpster called Behala. The main charter is called Raphael Fernández with his best friend Gardo. One day they find a wallet with 1,100 pesos, little did they know it would changed their lives forever. Police started coming to Behala all of a sudden, telling everyone to find a bag and that the police would pay 1,000 pesos to everyone who help to find it. Bravely enough Raphael and Gardo hid what they found by giving it to their friend Rat (his real name was Jun-Jun, but everyone called him Rat because he lived with rats and smelled like one) .The book had a very different style of writing, there wasn't only one person telling the story, but multiple people telling the story. The book wasn't too interesting at the start but after part one it became more exciting. Raphael and Gardo are hiding something from the police and they aren't willing to give it up. After a brutal interrogation he still doesn't tell the police anything. Raphael is finally released, not knowing where he is going he just starts running. I think in the end, Raphael and Gardo will give the letter that they found to Gabriel Olondriz and Raphael and Gardo will learn the truth about what happened to José Angelico.....
