One page paper Prompt: Roger and Me

The key diachronic shift that has transformed Flint, Michigan and the circumstances of the population in that respect would have to be the closing of eleven older GM plants by then CEO Roger Smith, costing 30,000 good deal their jobs at the time and economically devastating the metropolis. The first thing the hit describes about the massive layoffs is the fact that the rat population is surpass the human population in Flint because people be moving elsewhere looking for new means of employment. What infatuated me about the movie is how it showed the more fortunate, elite society throwing their one-year Gatsby Party like nothing has happened and hiring local, unemployed people to be human statues at the event.
One of the ways people tried to cope with the situation when the mayor of Flint hired TV evangelist Robert Schuller to come and speak for the people of Flint in order to give them a message of hope. People coped with poorness by trying to stay in houses as tenacious as they could before getting evicted.



Others found jobs in another(prenominal) sectors, such as Janet who started working for Amway and wetback Bell, but virtually ex-GM workers could not handle the fast paced environment at Taco Bell according to the movie. One lady who was on societal security had to supplement her income because it wasnt enough by marketing rabbits as pets or meat to those who could not afford to go regular grocery shopping. Many residents of Flint, Michigan left the city as seen in the movie when the U-Haul employee was explaining to the film crew as to how they are running out of trucks to rent out because people are renting them for one way trips to other states in the country.If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
