Trash Response Questions Two

1.)I think Olivia's perspective on money  is dead on. Money is what makes the world go round, and that's not necessarily a good thing. Money is the thing that separates everyone. Like the people in Behala. The people without money have to dig in the trash dump sites for a living. The analogy Olivia said was amazing. especially the part that said, " Nobody knows the value of water until they've lived in a dry dry place..." Behala would be a dry place because they don't have a lot of money. I think the experience of Behala has changed her in a very beneficial way. She has seen what it is like to live in a bad environment. She knows what it is like to struggle to stay alive. I think she will take all the things she has seen and put it to good use.

2.) Well...there are two articles that are really against Zapanta and that is the Daily Star and the University Voice. In the Daily Star it questions why there would be ten million dollars in his house. It states that everyone needs to-go money but ten million dollars is a little much. The Daily Star then says that maybe someone is either not paying his taxes or stealing other peoples. The University Voice says basically the same thing, it questions why he would keep millions of dollars in his house. Then the students say that the county could still move forward but with a new vice president, someone new and young. But the other article tried to defend him. The Star Extra talks about how Zapanta got stolen from and how it wasn’t his fault. It said that it was probably from someone that worked for him.

3. I think Andy Mulligan would end the book like that because it really tied everything together. It was the day of the dead so Orlandriz and Angelico could help them. And there was so many people there, they could just blend in with the crowd. There were two sides of the cemetery so it still separates rich and poor, even to the death.
