we are (sort of) writing persuasive essays. one kid choose to write about why it is wrong that people are poor. i talked with him about it and he shared these stories about how he can never decide whether to give people on the streets money because he wants to but he knows they "be spendin it on smokin and stuff." he told me about how sometimes he has gones gone downtown to feed the poor people and give the kids stuff (i'm guessing around christmas time) and how he is amazed how happy they are at the littlest things. he said that money would solve the problem except that people don't know how to use it.
it is amazing how thankful he is. i've seen his house. he ain't got a lot. but wow.
