The Dervaes


When I saw this movie one of the things that shocked me was that the only electricity they used was for their refrigerator I thought that was really interesting because normally everyone uses electricity for light and cooking appliances. An other thing that surprised me was how successful and happy the family looked.
I think the Dervaes family needs vs. want sheets would probably have more needs than wants because they have limited because hey have limited items and they seem satisfied and most of the stuff they own our stuff that is needed.
The Dervaes family fit into Ishmael because if you look on pg. 54 Ishmael talks aboit keeping food under lock and key and in order to get that food the dancers would dance for it, so it relates to our world that we buy food but by growing food we could save money and car miles from going ton a store and we could be more healthy.
Overall I think that they way they live is very simple and very helpful to the environment if you check out this website http://www.pathtofreedom.com/ it shows you several ways in going green and great info. about making a difference.

To me it looked like the family was always busy yet they were happy. It seemed like they had no free time
