God's Children

In Language Arts class, we watched a video called "God's Children". It talked about extremely poor families in the Philippines. Some people live in garbage dumps. They live in terrible conditions. Most of the families had >3 kids. Most families hardly had enough food to eat. They couldn't afford rice. Their houses are made of scrap metal and wood; most of the houses don't even have walls. Their health is really low, the water is polluted. If someone gets sick, he dies because they don't have enough money for buying medicine. If something happens, like a typhoon or a landslide, most people would die and their houses would disappear. It is really sad to live under such circumstances.

Poverty

In India, right now, there are people without houses all over the streets because of over population, so not enough work, houses, and food. Most of them live on road sides, eat less than once a day, and hardly have any clothing. This is how poor India is!

Compare and Contrast

Book:
The book is way more descriptive and longer. The only thing there is less information about is Weedon Scott before having found White Fang.

Movie:
There is less information, a lot of scenes skipped, only a few added. The movie was very different to the book.

Both:
Most of the characters have the same names in the movie and the book. The characters have the same character also.

White Fang book review

I think White Fang is a pretty good book with a lot of action. It has a pretty hard vocabulary (for me). I would recommend it to other people because it is a very well known book and I think it is good. I would grade it 8/10
