Today, we watched the first half of Pay it forward.  The movie is about a boy in middle school named Trevor. His mom is an alcoholic and Trevor mostly takes care of himself. On the first day of school, his teacher gave an assignment for the kids to think of a way to change the world and put it into action. Trevor thought of a really good idea. He had the theory that if you did something good for three people that really needed help, then those three people would have to do something good for three other people. Eventually, the number of people would be significant. This idea was called “paying it forward”.  I think this is a really good idea and was amazed that a young child thought of this idea. Trevor tries to help a drug addict homeless person and gave him clothes, food, shelter, and helped him get a job. However he went back to drugs.  Then later Trevor tries helping his teacher. The only flaw of his theory is that some people do not always follow through or do not care.  Personally, when people do nice things for me, it makes me want to do something nice back but not all people are like that. The homeless man, for example, got everything he needed and went back to drugs and living on the street.
