South America

We read two stories about a boy named Malcolm who struggled in Brazil and was homeless, but then got his life back together. What surprised you about these stories? Did you think that there was homeless people outside North America? Explain your answer.

  5. When I read about a boy named Malcolm and only 16 years old I was so shocked because he was living on the streets,drinking alchol,and homeless. It's so sad to hear that , when you never thought that people so young could live like that and drink alchol. If I lived in South America and knew Malcolm I would find him and try my best to help him out.I was surprised because I never thought that South America, Brazil was poor,but when I heard that in Brazil had a poor and rich side I was interested in some way.I do think that some where outside of North America there is homeless people some where out there. I know this because I saw this lady and her son on the streets asking for money,alchol,and crack. The sad part was that a young boy like that had to lived his life like that at such a young young age and not do better things with his self.If I ever got the chance too help an homeless person I would do what ever I could as fast as possible and help out other people other than my own self.

  9. The suprising part of the story to me waas how one day Malcom was homeless and without a family and befor you know it he was on his feet and was able to take care of himself! I myself did think there were homeless and poor people out of North Amereica. Over and over I have learned that most of the world is suffering in poverty. The most eye catching tings about those stories are how some people could make a living the way that they do! I really feel sorry for those people because some people could be living in lauxry and some people dont even have a home or a family. In my own opinion i think that is horrible because some people in the world are lonley their whole life while others may have the perfect family and life. Would you want that to happen to you so why dont you take and look at someone elses experience and surely that will help you to make a change.

  12. When we read the stories about the homeless peple in brazil it was very entersting.it also surprised me.The story surprised me because I thought that brazil was a rich country so it was suprosing to hear there was homeless people there. in the text i was reading it said that 70% of brazils people was homeless.they were in and out of jail and always drinking alcohol. in my opinion I feel that the peple in brazil that are homeless and over the age of 13 needs to go try and get a job so they can eat and support there familys. the need to stop spending ther money on drug s and alcohol and spend it to get food and save it up for a shelter or a couple of nights in a hotel.This is what I probly would d do if I was homeless. This is what surprised me in the stories with brazil. BY:CONSTANT H
