Assignment # 3

I happened to interview three people who all felt that they could eat better than they do despite the fact that they probably are much healthier eaters than most people. Two out of three of the people I interviewed felt that they do not get nearly enough exercise. (My brother, the third person gets enough exercise for four people and a cheetah.) These three people all live in a part of Brooklyn where there are lots of stores that sell fresh fruits and vegetables and green markets. Also, there are clean playgrounds and a park, and the neighborhood is safe. It is a lot easier to eat well and get exercise in certain parts of this city as opposed to others.

Assignment # 4

Are there relationships you have with people on a daily or almost daily - people
who work in stores or restaurants or who play music in the subways - that are important to you?
