Dervaes family

1. When Charlotte first put in the video, i honestly didn't think it was going to be that interesting. However once it started playing i was immediately engaged. The video really made me want to go home and grow a garden, i was really impressed how they not only grew a garden but EVERYTHING they did was living substantially 

2. On my needs vs. wants sheet, the wants list was extremely long and pretty selfish if you ask me, however i think that the Devares family's want side would consist of just making sure their family is safe and that they have their garden in their house.

3. When we were first introduced to the idea of living subsabilly i thought it would be impossible for someone to transform their whole entire life, to safe our envoirment, this video tied in perfectly with the book Ishmal, because he was using metaphors to show julie what living subsabily ment, and here we have a real life example.

4. Right after watching this video, i told my dad that i wanted him to grow an epic garden again, i really respect on how much they transformed their house and their whole entire life. I think what they are doing is very honorable, and it shows how you can help out our environment and still live an amazing life.

It's pretty cool how you ended your blog post like a positive essay, and kind of ended it on a happy note

hey jasmine, i thought it was really cool how you told your dad that you wanted to start a garden because that really shows that you truly enjoyed the video. Great job!

I thought it was really cool how respectful and in awe you were of how they lived. I also totally agree with how you felt at the beginning of the video but as it went on it was really interesting bc I've never seen anything like it. I also can relate to your needs verses wants sheet because mine was exactly the same way and this video made me feel really different about it...
