In the pictures I broke down the story to have a better understanding of the main idea which is that water has become a product to sell rather than to be used among everyone because it is a necessity to life. I used quotation from the text to support some of the images to add a story and better understanding. I wrote and presented pictures about the cause of the water crisis and some of the solutions Jim Hightower mentioned or hinted at in the text. The essay talks about how corporations are becoming more greedy and overlooking the humanitarian issues such as droughts, and water shortages. This idea inspired me to provide two columns with each conflicting idea to show a contrast between each of them. I understand the importance of making money but I do not believe it should be a priority over the overwhelming need for water all over the world. We all have a responsibility to one another and we need to think of life before material things. Water should be distributed from Canada's lakes to places that are in need of it. A person in need of water due to droughts or other circumstances should not have to pay money to quench their thirst.
