Dark Days

The movie was sad and hilarious at the same time. Their stories are tragic...but most of them have a sense of humor about themselves. It seems like they have given up on life. They don't care that they live in this place.. they actually like it. There are other people, like the ones doing crack, that don't even seem to notice their surroundings. I believe that this movie leads back to the conversation we had in class the other day. For that one kid, hes very young, he could have gone to school.. but his dads alcoholism and his moms negligence led him to give up on himself. There was another man whos wife kicked him out because drugs took over his life. I think that there is a certain point that some people get to that they need help..they can't do it on their own. When Amtrak decided to make them evacuate, I think its great that the U.S decided to give them public housing. When someone is down, it is the responsibility of the American to help them up. If we are given so many chances in our own lives, its only fair to give them back to those who haven't gotten as many.
