7 Page 12 9/18 Sicko Gist (General Summary) Period 6 Example The movie Sicko by Michael Moore is about Period 5 Example The movie Sicko by Michael Moore is about bad health care companies that deny people any help, even people that have health insurance just to save money. Many innocent people die, 18,000 who don t have insurance and many tens of thousands that do. They do this for selfish reasons, to increase their profits. The companies, the doctors, and the workers only care about the money. Some reasons people are being denied include racism, too thin or too fat, too old, minor problems like yeast infections, other pre-existing conditions or experimental treatments. 7

8 Period 5 Class Discussion The movie Sicko by Michael Moore is about health care companies that don t want to pay and want to save money by denying coverage to people that are sick. Many people are sick and need treatment. The health care companies are denying the treatment. Because of the denials, thousands of Americans are dying. Having insurance or not having insurance doesn t seem to matter and having insurance may not actually be worth it. They could promise miracles, but they don t do anything. They give some patients false hope that they may get insurance, and then call and deny them. To even get insurance, you have to meet their standards which are really high. They go through your medical records looking for pre-existing conditions to deny coverage. Even a yeast infection can deny you insurance coverage or payment for care. 8

10 Page 14 9/23 Sojourner Truth Read Pages then Page 42 Identify the writer s Thesis (Claim, Argument, Position, Point, Opinion) I think that twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them. Sojourner Truth s position is that women and Negroes should get equal rights to the white men. 10

11 Page 15 9/24 - Sojourner Truth 4 Reasons Quote 4 Reasons I can work as much and eat as much as a man and bear the lash as well. Analysis Her experience working, eating, and getting whipped has been equal to men. Therefore, she thinks women should have equal rights. If my cup won t hold but a pint wouldn t you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full. Man had nothing to do with [Christ]. Even if Sojourner admits that women aren t as smart as men, that isn t a reason to deny them equal rights. It s just mean. Because a woman gave birth to Christ and God was the father, men had nothing to do with Christ. Women are holy enough to have equal rights. If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down alone 11
