Whenever I see someone who needs to rely on other people for basic necessities, it fills me with a lot of thoughts and feelings about the world and my own place in it. I wonder if we can stop this from happening somehow. I wish that the isolation that tends to follow poverty could end. Most of all, I think that as human beings, we're all entitled to a certain level of comfort in our lives and that too often random chance determines who will have that comfort and who won't.

Sam,
This is sort of what I thought about when I was thinking of hunger. I actaully thought about children that are starving in 3rd world nations. It's sad that that is what we think of when we hear hunger. Good job with portraying the image of hunger.
