A Single Lucid Moment

      In the story "A Single Lucid Moment" by Robert W. Soderstorm it talks about how much of America and the first world countries take advantage of all the little things. In "A Single Lucid Moment" it tells about the Maimafu Tribe and about how they do everything by themselves. In the story a husband and wife go to Maimafu for three months at a time and stay with a tribe. During there stay the family of two and the Maimafu tribe start to get to know each other more and show one another around. While looking around and getting to know the place the family starts to figure out there living style and how hard work is key to survive. During a long hard day the family shows the Maimafu tribe a picture of two homeless men. The next morning the family was wakened by four of the tribesmen, that the tribesmen wanted to fly the homeless people out to stay with them to learn how to take care of themselves. Little do the Maimafu tribe know it cost more money than they think to send out two homeless men all the way out to New Guinea for a couple of months.
      In "A Single Lucid Moment" it shows how much we take for granted. I know that if I lived in New Guinea things would have to change a lot. Because I am raised in the first world, I would not have the experience or knowledge of how to live the way that the Maimafu tribe does. In the story the Maimafu tribe wants to send two homeless men to New Guinea to live with them. The tribe doesn't know that it will cost a lot of money just to send two people out. Even if the Tribe did get the homeless people to New Guinea it would be extremely hard to teach them  a new language, how to farm, and ho to adjust. I think that would be harder than they think.  In all it was a great plan but it was not a success...yet. If the Maimafu tribe were to start to raise money to send one out at a time and work with them would work better in my mind.
