9. I think that Morgan became so emotional at The Free store because she was feeling really overwhelmed by not having anything. She went from living in a nice place with everything she needed/wanted and went to a place that was dangerous, wasn't sanitary, and wasn't furnished. I think its the little things that make us so content with our lives. For instance I think that most people take furniture for granted and don't realize how much they really need it until they don't have it anymore. I also think that Morgan got so emotional because of the generosity of the people that donated all of the things that they did.
2. Budgeting was a major role in the survival of Morgan and Alex. Without budgeting they most surely would not have made it the thirty days. Alex even came up with the figure that she could save about two and a half dollars everyday by walking to work instead of taking the bus. They had to budget for everything, from eating to clothing to furnishing, and without budgeting they would not ave been able to survive.

ReplyDeleteI agree. Alex and Morgan realized how much more fortunate they were before they had to budget on the important things. I like the thought of stepping in the daily life of the less fortunate. -Rachel
