The book talks about the percentages of things in the world. It takes the whole world down to 100 people so its like 63 have tv's and 37 don't have one. Also as we were reading the book in class, it opened my mind a little more about how lucky I am. Plus I feel bad about those who don't have clean water or things like that. I like the book too. Also I wonder what we will do in 2150 to fix the problem. Will we colonize Mars? Will solve it another way?
