Roger and Me

In the documentary, a more realistic situation was portrayed. It is much easier to ignore a problem than actually fix it and that is what was shown. People were given things such as a theater and an amusement part to distract themselves from the real problem. Nothing was being solved or fixed. The consequences of ignoring the problem were also pointed out by showing what people had to do to make money such as the woman selling bunnies. "Ragged Dick" gives off a better feeling and has a typical storybook ending. Although this does occur in the real world at times, I think that the first situation occurs more often. "Roger and Me" is more realistic in my opinion, but I think that most people would rather have what was presented in "Ragged Dick" to be reality.
