"Bread" was a film that not only allowed its viewers to understand the dangerous working conditions that the featured family had to work in, but their appreciation for food. Something that we often take for granted. Although one of the brothers dream is to one day become a secretary so that he would't have to work so hard. He didn't complain about what he was doing at the time, because it help give them the bread they needed to survive. This film help me to appreciate the necessities of life, such as food and clothes, and to think about the hard work that others have to go through to get what so many of us already have.

After looking at this short film, it makes me feel bad about the harsh conditions this family lives under. But even though they are living in poverty, they are working hard so they can have enough food for their family. Even though the family is in such a bad place now, it's inspiring to see that the children and their father aren,t complaining. It's good to see these people striving to get "bread."

I agree with Tony Partridge on his comments about the short bread. I also feel that he feels strongly about it. To you Tony if you want lets get together and we can have a drive so that we can get the food that is needed and we can get things accomplished. This is an effort for the people that are starving. Being able to be a voice in the struggle that could become an ally for those that have no way of voicing their opinion would be great volunteer work. Helping those in need s a reward within itself and if you are about the cause lets do something about it.

This short is something that most people will look at and think about tryin to help people out like that, but will never do. People do things for food like they did in this short all over the world. You can only hope that someone will step up and help them out with food to eat, water to drink. Think about what would happen if they couldn't work. They would never have any food, which is why some people should give to the needy and not be so greedy.

After viewing this film I am saden to see young kids that youg doing some extrem labor of that sort. This film also helps me to realize just how lucky I am to not have to go threw thing of that sort,It also sadens me to Know that people have to go threw things of that nature every single day just to survive an provide for their families.
