Video Reflection

The video we saw in class was awsome! I really liked it. It talks about a day in the world. It has images from all over the world, images that are some impressing, but most of them familiar. Waht the message probably be is that many things can happen every day, 24/7. It is very impressing how in everywhere there are billions of people working, and doing the same thing daily. They go to the same places every day, they do the same thing every day, they do the same routine every day.

The images that most cause impact on me were the little boy with clutches, the thunder, the bomb exploting. They are pretty strong images that I didnt event thought of before. I never imagine seeing a little boy without a leg. That's so sad :s and really made me feel thankful of what I have, and of never complain because of innecesary and stud stuff. There are so many poeple out ther that doesn't even have a quarter of what I do and live happily without complaining.

(My moms car)

In yesterday´s class we learned hoew to calculate how many gas our cars spends only by going to school and back, and how much money our parent's waste. My mom's car uses 329.3L of gas per year only by coming to school. If that number is multiplyed by two (which means going back from school to my house), the answer will be 658.6L of gas. This is a lot. My dad's car in comparation of my mom's, uses more gas becuase of the size and the brand of car. He uses 431.05L of gas per year, and multipyed by two is 862.1L of gas. Obviously my mom's car, which is smaller, uses less gas than my dad's. Though, unfortunately my mom uses her car everyday a lot. She has many things to do and is all around the city, and that causes the use of more gas, spend of money, and more pollution.
