We just read "If the world were a village" and it was very interesting because, we learned the differences if the world were a village. The most interesting part to me was the part for transportation. That was the most heart-breaking thing for me because if you don't have transportation you have to walk, or buy a horse or a camel.  I felt two ways about the transportation, I felt good about being fortunate enough to have my mom have a ford escape, my dad have a toyota 4runner and also my dad have a Can-Am Spyder. And then I felt bad about the people who aren't fortunate enough to even have a bicycle or at the very peak an old crumb bucket car. So whenever I am going somewhere and my dad says "Moms Car!" And I go "UGH!" I sometimes wish that I could take stuff right out of the air and throw it right back into my mouth. This made me feel bad because the one person got a car, and the poor person was fixing their one bicycle which was there one prize possession. This made me have a pit and my stomach and also made my jaw drop.
