reflection

i enoyed the entire trip it was a fun and exciting experience. taking the bus and train were great first time experiences. i also learned alot in this feild trip. i would have never thought that the way train stations were built was art. even though the main purpose we went to Hollywood was not achieved it was a great experience alot was learned and enjoyed. i couldnt have asked for a more fun and exciting feildtrip. missing the train and trying to get on the train at the same time getting on the wrong train and having to get off then taking the bus was the best experience ever. even though it was kind of stressful but so far this whole entire school year this feildtrip was the most fun day. i honestly enjoyed it and had a great day. i am glad that i had the priviledge to go and have first time experiences with new things and have fun doing it even though i was afraid at first. thanks Ms.Roz

THE AUTHORS FOCUS IS TO CALL FOR HELP, VOLUNTEERS, AND CONTRIBUTIONS SO THAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING WILL STOP. THE AUTHORS USE VERY WELL CRAFTED PROSE IN ORDER TO SHOW " THE CENTRAL MORAL CHALLENGE" OF OUR TIME. KRISTOF AND WuDUNN GO FROM A SPECIFIC TO GENERAL POINT OF VEIW THORUGHOUT THE NOVEL. THE AUTHORS GO FROM FIRST PERSON TO SECOND PERSON THROUGHOUT. IN THIS NOVEL THE AUTHORS GO FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY THROUGHT THE NOVEL FROM ONE CHAPTER TO THE OTHER AND USE SENSORY DESCRIPTION TO DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. THE AUTHORS HAVE A PASSIONATE TONE WHICH CAUSES A ENPOWERED MOOD. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING TO HELP OR MAKE A CHANGE.
