"On Dumpster Diving", is a rather strange but interesting piece of writing by Lars Eighner. He is a great writer and architect of the Senates. Eighner's "On Dumpster Diving" is considered the best chapter in the book "Travels with Lizbeth." Eighner describes in his own words and tells us about his dumpster diving experiences and even educates us on the wasteful habits of the American population. Eighner explains, “Students throw away canned goods and staples at the end of semesters and when they drop out of college midterm. » (para. 23). When he became homeless, he had no choice but to make a living from scavenging trash. Through his experiences, he uses an ethical, logical and humorous approach to inform his readers about dumpster diving. Eighner tells us about the time he started dumpster diving. He notes that he started digging through trash a year before he became homeless. In the story he introduces a logical term, "scavenger", which he describes as. Eighner tells us about the different terms used to refer to dumpster divers, winos and bums. Eighner's dumpster diving topics range from what food is worth eating to what items are worth saving and why they might be there. His life is now spent in these dumpsters and he is finding ways to improve the types of trash he finds. First, Eighner explains why he considers himself a scavenger and not a dumpster diver. Eighner was able to collect his basic necessities from the dumpsters. Before raiding the dumpsters, he used his logic and above all his common sense, which is quite rare, which consisted of simply selecting the things he needed and then leaving the rest on top of the trash. , so it might be useful to someone else. . Eighner describes: “Most divers come... middle of paper...... Abeth. Eighner and Lizabeth had a unique understanding of each other. It was a bit like, “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.” Both of them would look out for each other, and not only would Eighner have a dog that would give her a sense of security while she scavenged the dumpsters, Lizabeth would have an eye out for anyone coming their way, the cats, vermin and even fire ants. Eighner describes fire ants as the worst danger in a dumpster (paragraph 51). In my opinion, Eighner gives me a sense of wisdom. Even though he is homeless, we can still learn from him even when he hits rock bottom. he did not leave behind his decency, his self-respect and above all his hope. Eighner is an honorable person, he knows his situation very well and tries to make the best of it. We can learn this from what you have but never settle. give up hope of being able to reach higher.
