On Compassion Notecard Videos

I asked a few bold students to create the notecard videos and this is Savannah's creation.


 


The directions Notecard Confessions were: 

Today, you will create a “notecard confession” style video that answers the question “Do we feel compassion or fear for the ‘rags with voices that make no sense and scream forth in inarticulate rage?’”
You must take the perspective of either the homeless OR the onlooker. Your video must have at least 10 cards. No card can have more than 8 words. Your first few cards must be used to introduce who you are, and how you have been impacted by homelessness. You must seriously put yourselves into the shoes of the person you are portraying. Feel the fear, feel the power, feel the sorrow, or feel the pain.

Quote from the text. Be the woman or the grinning man or the pastry shop owner or the uncustomer. The choice is yours. Your goal is to speak for the person so that we can understand your point of view as you answer the question

“Do we feel compassion or fear for the ‘rags with voices that make no sense and scream forth in inarticulate rage’?”

I WILL NEVER GET A JOB AGAIN !!!!!!!

Something that changed me and the way I see things is when I got a job. It was one of the worst experiences ever. It was one of those jobs, where the only way you get paid is if you sell something. So they had me basically going from door to door, trying to sell newspapers. They had me walking through Gretna in the scorching hot sun. They literally had people who slammed doors in my face, made up serious lies, and claim they had no money. The only sell I made was the first door I went to , they brought the newspaper for a entire year. I had the longest walks ever, I had to walk up both sides of the street and I walked up and down at least 25 streets. I worked from 2:00 - 9:30 for a whole week. This really changed the way I viewed my life to because how im gone take care of myself without a JOB?
