Blog #7

1. Last night was the Third Thursday event that we are making our documentary on.  It was really exhausting but we got all the footage we needed and interviewed a few people at the event.  It was pretty awkward asking people if we could interview them and even more so when they said no... but the people we did get were really great!  I don't think we need to film any more, all we have to do is edit. 

2.   I think the poem starts where it does because it shows that this man getting beds is making a difference, even though it might not be the biggest gesture, he's helping people and so the beginning shows that people heard about it and understand how he's helping people.
I think the narrator says things like "it won't change the world" because he's just one man doing a little thing to help a few people, but little things like that really make the difference and if everyone did that then it might actually have a large impact. 
I don't think service is about changing the world, I think it's just about helping people.  In the long run if everyone helps out a little it might change the world but I don't think that's why people give service to others, it's just to make a small difference to benefit others.
