1. It's Tuesday and I finally feel that we can do this within the time limit. We got all the shooting for the trailer done last Thursday and on Sunday we spent four hours on editing the trailer. Zoe and I sat in that tiny, little room, worked out buts off and almost went crazy. The trailer didn't work out as good as we wanted it to be, but we're hoping to get a stronger comeback with our documentary. before starting this project i would never think that it would be possible to spend four hours on 20 seconds, but apparently I was wrong. The plan is now to get some more filming done next week, hopefully all the footage we need and then to start edit as soon as possible so we don't have to sit the last Sunday session and do it all in a rush and get a really bad documentary. So that's they plan. I like working on this project, but it takes so much time and power from you. Well well.

2. "A Bed for the Night" by Bertolt Brech

The man in the poem helps homeless people out by appealing and asking people who pass by if they can give a homeless man or woman a bed for the night. I believe he does this since this man has realised that by doing this for others, he helps people out and he let other people help the homeless people. These people would probably not offered a bed for the night if the man on the street hadn't reminded them that they could make a change in somebody else everyday life. I also believe that passers-by feel that it's more safe when a man that is not homeless ask them, than if a homeless is begging.

the man is basically just asking strangers if they can give a homeless person a bed for the night. I really liked this poem and hope that that man exist. The man on the corner, who helps homeless people. a man that is so unselfish, a man that has a home, a family, but realise that he needs other peoples help to be able to help all the people he wants to help.

In the poem they say that "it won't change the world, it won't improve relations among men, it will not shorten the age of exploitation" this is true, but it will give a man a smile on his face when he for the first in a long time lays in a warm, safe bed.
