This weeks class was very interesting. I feel that having everybody read certain chapters, and as a class  go over each one so we didn’t have to read the full book was very helpful. Having to group together with the people that read your chapters and draw a picture that represents what you read about was a great visual learning activity. This book I feel like is the same as the others using the river analogy but went into greater depth explaining it. It also explained what the workers were doing to help the youth get back on their feet. The workers stated that they start with a large sum of youth and then once they start to integrate programs such as health programs, and jobs the youth start to filter out. In the end they have a small amount still left in the programs. This made me sad because all the resources are readily available but the youth just weren’t taking advantage of them.
