Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
This piece, I feel, talks a lot about living your life the way you want it and to not just go on with your everyday life doing what everyone else does in this world. Be different and enjoy life. Its also saying you never know what is going to happen so live everyday as it is your last.

The Making of a Marginal Farm
In this piece, the author is trying to show us how you can live off a small farm and the importance of using the land around us. The family in this piece planted a lot of there own food and did it without using all the fertilizers that other big farms did. I think this shows a good example of how we can use everything around us to survive without using a lot of excess materials to do so.
