I thought that it was sad because the kid was just comparing the things he has to the things his cousins have. But in reality the things you own are the things you have so we should be grateful.

I think that it made Angus even more grateful after the visit to Hamish. It taught Angus a lesson, and I found it inspiring to me. I also believe that when he said that Hamish was the rich one, he meant that Hamish was rich of nature.

I think that the poverty have tow parts :the material poverty and the spirit poverty, many people want to let their children out of material poverty,but they do not know they let their children into the spirit poverty. Their children just in the wall in their mind,they need to be free they need to play they need to join in the nature they need to be happy. The most thing they need is love. A lot of working poor people's

I really liked the video, and it was very touching. I think that when Bruce told Angus that they are poor, it made him realize that money isn't everything, and just how wise his son is. When Bruce said that they are poor, he meant that they are not poor of money, but of the real world, like where Hamish and his family live. In the nature and wildlife.

I thought that was a sad video, especially when Bruce said "Thanks dad, for showing me just how poor we are" because I thought that Angus should have been grateful for what he had. Like, at least he had a dog, at least he had a car, and a home. Yes, Hamish's life did seem a bit richer and nicer so maybe Bruce was jealous of that, but he could have hurt the dad's (a.k.a Angus) feelings by saying that they are poor just because Hamish had more advantages and more nicer things, but that doesn't mean that Bruce and his dad were poor.

xee dawg,when bruce said "thanks dad,for showing me just how poor we are",is an expression saying"you may be able to buy everything in the world,but you can't buy freedom.

I think the richer people should try and live in poverty and they would help more because they rely on money and would realize on how hard it is to live in poverty.

I really liked the video, I am really glad that he was more great full after visiting Hamish. It is really cool how one trip or visit, makes you see past money, and it just makes you thoughtful that way ( I am sorry if that did not make sense).

I think what this quote is trying to say is that poverty isnt always made by god and sometimes it can be made by you, one example of this is drugs, people do drugs and they get addicted so they keep buying drugs until they run out of money and they cant pay their rent

My opinion of this video is that some people don't take in consideration that some people are poor while they are rich and take advantage of it. Making fun of people who are poor and making them feel insecure

I think rich people need to think more about the poor, because they have so much money that they only keep for their self, that they could give away to the poor.

It was very depressing cause like mr. Bushwhacked said he was comparing their things to their cousins and they had weLthier stuff then the boy but it makes you see what poor looks like and being wealthy looks like or even feels like.

I think that Angus was telling Bruce how he was pour and Bruce was saying he had that stuff and they have even expensive stuff for example he said that "they have three dogs we have one dog" so he trying to say rich people have more stuff or better stuff and people in poverty have cheap stuff.😉😎
