Poor people are very vulnerable to abuses in many ways. Some people are as desperate for money as to sell organs to other people to get money. An example will be selling kidneys, which is short in supply for transplants. In this kind of shady business, the rich pays the poor to get a chance to live a longer life. 56% of those living in poverty are woman, 36% are children, and the rest are men. In 2007, the overall people who live in poverty is 37 million people. Poverty is not just in America, but in every place in the world. There has been programs that is helping those that are in need. An good example is freereice.com (http://freerice.com/) which helps donates free food. Some of the poorest countries includes Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, Laos, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, and many more. There are many poor countries that needs help even today.

White fang comparing book and movie
Movie
-Less information about White Fang's childhood
-Main character was a human, not the dog
-White Fang did not go to San Fransisco
-Shorter and less scenes
-Added some scenes
-Gets sold/taken to different owners by different ways
-Different ending
-Slight/totally different characters
Book
-More descriptive
-Longer
-Story line is different
Same
-Has a dog named White Fang
-Gets three different owners
-Born in the wild
-About dog and humans
If I were to compare the book and the movie, I would say they are two different stores. The main character is suppose to be a wolf-dog named White Fang. But in the movie, instead of the dog, the main character is a fat American guy that comes along looking the gold. I prefer the book over the movie. Some scenes in he movie was switched and added, making parts of the movie to be confusing and dull. But the book also have flaws, the author tends to get over descriptive. Just the fact that the main character is different in the movie than in the book, the story can be changed alot. Basically almost all of the story line and ending was affected by this. The history of the dog White Fang was changed as well. Instead of being born from a hole that suddenly appeared in the ground, White Fang was suppose to be born in a cave in the wold. Different characters appear and die which can make me sometimes think "What happened to ......"
