Chapter Nine Thoughts

After reading through some of other people's thoughts, I wanted to give my response in a post, rather than commenting on everyone's. Personal preference. Pat had said: "I find it interesting that Jane is pregnant and needs her job for the obvious support of her child but she is so driven and such a documentarian that she may be willing to lose her job to show what the meat industry has done and is doing to the human condition."  which I find interesting as well. In a sense, she's risking her child's life. How so? Well, if she loses her job, she cannot support her child, or at least support her child as easily. Not to mention, even supporting herself. I understand determination for something you're passionate about, but I think that when it comes to survival, and a kid, whom I'm to assume that she will/already does love, you need to put those needs first. Like Madi, I too would take the approach to quote "get inside the head who is in the factory everyday." There's no better way than working with someone who is involved directly in the issue you're looking into. When Akiko wrote that note to Jane about where she could find happiness, that didn't really click with me. The only reason I say this is because everyone's happiness is different, and I don't think that you can really find it in a certain place. I think it's more of a "figure it out on your own" sort of thing. I think people can aid you in to how to find your happiness, but they cannot tell you where it is, what it is, or find it for you. If any of that makes sense.
