God's Children reflection

The people in the movie God's Children, which we watched during Language Arts class, survived by selling the trash they got from the garbage dump. Ever since the landslide that was cause by a big storm, the garbage truck stopped coming and their source of income was cut off. A man that lives in the garbage dump said that he hadn't ate anything in 4 or 5 days. Each family had more than three children and they were very desperate. They had to live in the dump since they couldn't afford real houses. Their houses were made from scrap metal they had found in the dump.

Poverty

Poverty in China is very serious. The people there are hired to work in factories with very low salary. Cause of the low salary, many people don't even have homes to live in. It has been like this since a long time ago. It was because of the low salary. But to be more general, it was because of the large population in China.

Compare and Contrast White Fang

Book:
There is more description in the book than the movie. There is more information about Weedon Scott in the movie than the book. The book is also longer and there are many scenes the book has but the movie does not.

Movie:
There is less information about White Fang's childhood in the movie than the book. In the movie, White Fang does not go to San Fransisco but in the book it does.

Similar:
White Fang is still pretty similar in the movie and the book. The characters in the movie might have different names, but their personality and their actions are similar.
