1)What did you think of Mr. Tom Hayden?
i think he is a really interesting guy he taught us more about we are learning in class
2)Tom Hayden does not think he is a civil rigths leader.Do you see him as one?why or why not?
i think he sord of is a leader but at the same time no. i say yes because he was doing some interesting thing to help others specially people that were not his race, for example, he was regestrating blacks to vote
3)Tom Hayden feels that leaders are not as important as the hundreds or thousands of people behind them.what does he mean by that?
i think when he said this he meant that somtimes the ones that are really important are the people that the leaders are leading because they are really the ones getting all the attention

a. Write down a quote that you agree with or disagree with, and explain why you agree or disagree.
"if you've spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking." i agree with this quote because you learn from your mistakes. wich means that if you've broken so many pots than u've done many mistakes, and if u've done so many mistakes than u already learned what u needed to learn
b. Describe one of the biggest failures you’ve made in your life. How did the failure affect you? What did you learn from the failure?
i used to always do everything for my friend and be nice to them but when i really needed them they would not be there for me and the ones i always ignored and didnt listen too when i really needed help they would be there instead of the ones i was always nice to and everything
c. Why do you think I’m having you listen to this story?
i think it was to get us thinking of the mistakes we do in life and what we learned out of them

1) What is the theme of this movie? What message do you think this movie is trying to convey?
i think the theme to do this movie is that every one can make a change in this world no mather how small the change is. this movie is trying to tell every one that they can also make a change so this world can be a better place to live in.
2) Which character do you find the most interesting? Why?
the character i find the most intereting is Trevor. i find him interesting because he is so into the movement and then is going to give up but then he doesnt
3) If you were to write the movie script for Pay It Forward, Part 2, what kinds of characters would you have in the movie? What would you have them do to “Pay It Forward?”
i would put the same characters and i would make them continue with the pay it foward idea. for example i would make the mom and the teacher tell other people about the pay it foward the they can help 3 other people and so on so everybody can help people around them.
i think that is what im gonna do!!!!!!!!!!!

i. Do you think this activity had any effect on how the 9th graders treated each other in the past week? Why or why not?
i think this activity did not chage the 9th graders on how they treat each other because i thinkl no one was actually nice to their chosen ones.
ii. What do you think would happen if this activity involved the 10th and 11th graders?
i think if we involve the 10th and 11th graders it would be worser because most of us dont know all of them. for example i only know like 10 of them!!!!!!!
iii. What do you think would happen if we continued this activity for the rest of the year?
maybe more in the future when we all know each then the activity will work.
