Waste Land

       Mrs. Mystrena first brought up the movie Waste Land I was thinking that it was going to a terrible movie, but I was wrong.  I couldn't believe how inspiring the movie was.  I was thinking that this movie was just going to show how the people feel in the landfill.  It was much more than that.  As I watched the movie my opinion changed.  I thought these people were just worthless workers, but they were than that.  They worked hard for their money, and they weren't garbage pickers they were

      There were many ways Vik  Muñiz  helped the people of Jardim Gramacho.  He gave them  money by  making paintings of them and auctioning them for money for the landfill.  Also, he made them feel good about themselves.  Vik told them that they weren't trash pickers they were helping the world, and they should be noticed.  Finally, he told the trash pickers that they weren't worthless they should have a chance to express how they feel.

        I personally agree that its better to have a honest job.  Why would you be a drug dealer, or a prostitute?  So, I would rather have  a honest job.  I wouldn't care what other people think of me.  If I know I am doing the right thing I feel proud of myself
