Jennifers Goverment, The Tortilla Curtain and Lone Ranger Review

Jennifers Government
I learned mostly abu the profit ver people and how this governement obly cares about money and will do anything to make it go in favor of what they want even if it means killing people off and slowly transforming people to consumers.
I found the video at the end of the presentation very interesting, just seeing it in real ;ife situation was shocking.
You can see the hard work the group put into there presentation and they were well informed about their book.

Lone Ranger
In this presentation I enjoyed learning about the different themes seen throughout the book and then how you talked about it then showed a video for each one, that was cool to see a visual. I was surprised about how basketball was so important in that community and considered a gathering.
The recommendation at the end was a good point and I may actually read this book on my own.

The Tortilla Curtain
This was the hardest one for me to understand but it does seem like a powerful book because of the themes throughout- inequality, racism. exploitation and identity. Its interesting how the poverty and affluence are distinctively divided.
The way the group connected it to Detroit and The Glass Castle was great.
