Roxane and Laura

In chapter 7, " Blan" means a white person. Farmer does not care about being called a "blan", he just smile and wave back. For Ophelia, she thinks Farmer should not longer wave at people since he is not longer a tourist. Farmer believes that the primary cause of poverty in Haiti is the Americans because they give money to the dictector who used the money for himself instead for developping the country.
In chapter 8, many things have influenced Dr Farmer's choice of life's proper work. for instance we have his sickness there in Haiti due to the unprotected food he was buying on the street, the woman who was pregnant and who died with her baby because of the lack of blood and the fact that the patient must pay for everything before they get treated. Before establishing an hosital to Cange Farmer set out to find out the health needs of the people. The health census was important because it showed how bad the conditions were. Being an Antrhropologist was very helpful for Farmer because it helped himknow more about the culture so he was able to understand thier beliefs and that help him to be more open to patients. In return Farmer's patients were more open and trusting of him. Farmer was 23 when he was fully formed. Farmer's philosophie and world view are that all people are equal, we should help poor people and take care of them because as us- rich people-, they deserve to be happy .
