3) Ehrenreichs and Eighners stories are both very similar, because they are both connected with people who have problems in their live. Ehrenreich is sill a waitress and can buy some food and Eighner has to find food in dumster which is much harder. I think Eighner has much more experience how to survive with no home. Ehrenreich has more to do with other people and there backgrounds. I think everybody can go to school and try to get good grades. Everybody can get at least a job in a restaurant like Ehrenreich is doing it.

4) EH= Ehrenreich

     EI= Eighner

EI: Hello Miss Ehrenreich, I think it was great to work for a while in a low wage job, to get more experience as a well educated woman. Most people with high wage jobs can’t even imagen how it is to live like that and how to deal with this little amount of money.

EH: Thank you so much. It is my honor to meet you personally. It was really interesting to jump into another life for a while. Of course your way of life is completly different. I could go home whenever i couldn’t be there anymore, but I praise you for being like that for such a long time.

EI: Thank you! When you are doing something like that you should come with me me and I show you how it was form me to dumster dive everyday.

EH: I will! Thank you so much for taking time to talk about your experiences with me.

1)           Scrounging: To obtain (something) by begging or borrowing with no intention of reparation

Dumster Diving: looking in trash for food that you can still eat

Foraging:  The act of looking or searching for food or provisions.

Bohemian: Person who can to what every he/she wants, living free with no rules

Scavenging:  Person who prefers to use rather than Dumster Diving

2.  Eighner has some much experiences dumpster diving that a person with higher wage never could imagen. I personally could never imagine that you have to pay attention to so many things. When he starts talking about that he could never imagine that he is going to eat garbage and he is doing that in the night so nobody could see him. It is embarissing for him to eat other peoples trash. He tells us so many about what things people are throwing away, even if you still can use them. He tells us that we should look twice what we are throwing away and why?

4) I feel like I should start taking care about what I am actually throwing away and the peopele around me. I think the society from today is very wasteful. For example my grandmother had times were food weren’t enough there all the time. She tells me how it was to not live in plenty of food.

I think with grab fort he gaudy bauble he means that people like him see food in a different way, it is kind of holy for them and something special. Today I see sign’s: It is ok to waste the food and I feel bad about it.
