In the story “A Lost Wood” by H.M Tomlinson the author expresses how he felt about the construction of roads for motor-cars. He also expressed how he felt about the petrol business that the government was starting. I strongly agree with the way he felt and how he reacted in some situations, growing up I grew up in the city where we did not have a lot of automobiles or any businesses for that matter. But eleven years later everything was different and yes in a way it was for a better change but the environment was being affected and people were losing their homes and no one seem to care. The documentary, a lost wood and what happened to me as I was growing up all have the some plot lines. It’s important to understand that before all the big businesses there was small houses where people use to call home and because of the big industries it’s all destroyed and there's nothing us the powerless can do. People have tried to protest but the end results are always the same, people either end up in jail or hurt so it doesn’t matter how hard you try or who’s trying with you the government is always gonna have all the power and were always going to be the powerless.

I have a similar experience about growing up in not industrialized area but having that change. When I was younger, I had woods in my backyard. I absolutely loved it. It was where I would go for walks and where I could go to think. When I was about 12 or 13, the original owner of that land passed away and left the land to her son. The new owner decided to turn the woods into affordable housing, which seems like a good thing when you live in an area where housing is expensive, however that meant they were going to tear down the woods in my backyard. There wasn't anything my family could do or say that would change the minds of those in charge. It's hard to realize that you don't have much power in these situations. That being said, I still try to maintain hope that as I reach adulthood, I can help other people who, like me and my family, were unable to speak up against the destruction of land.
