Mumbai and Harford County

There are many differences between Mumbai and Harford County. I am thankful that I don't have to live in those conditions. We have bathrooms to use when all they have is an outhouse. We have a house with TVs and everything to interest us when their houses are the size of a small classroom. Their cops are corrupt and our cops support and protect us. Also their are fights between Hindu and Muslims when we don't have any kind of wars like that. In school teachers are allowed to hit the students when they would get arrested for doing that here. Also most people don't jump on trains to escape here. The streets here are bigger and not as crowded. We also have washing machines to wash our clothes in rather than a dirty river. We have clean water to drink instead of drinking the river water. We can shower in a shower instead of cleaning off in a river. They don't even get to wear shoes when we get clean clothes and shoes. The kids have to give fake tours and steal shoes and purses to get money.

Slumdog Milionare

Today we started the movie Slumdog Million are, I have already seen this movie but its been awhile so I only remember a few parts. This movie really shows how the slums in India are how people have to live. I feel bad for the kids in India that are young and don't have a safe place to stay. When they have to go to the bathroom they don't have toilets they go and it goes straight down and just makes a puddle. Also the people don't have police that protect them the police are almost against them. It must be hard to live in a situation like that.

11-19

Today my computer was dead and I did not have a charger all day so I could not work on the Spotify. I did make the class productive by working on my other class work that I had to finish from another class.

11-17

When we first got to class we got our tests back. I was worried on how I did but when I went to look at my grade I was relieved when I saw an 80. I thought I did worse than an 80. Then we looked at a county map on which people call soda, pop or anything else. Then we closed out class talking about cultural geography.
