Begging

In today’s society, not many people will take a second glance when they see a homeless person. They may give a homeless person some spare change when asked for it, but not many people go the extra mile for a complete stranger living on the streets. My family is friends with a couple, the Harper’s, and the Harper’s were nice enough to take in a stranger off the streets. They had never met this woman in their lives, and yet they were kind enough to bring her in and let her live with them. I…

There is a homeless man that seems to reside in the area where I grew up. He is often found at the intersection in front of the local HEB and nearby areas. He is frequently running out into the intersections making vigorous motions at cars and yelling unintelligible commands, while dressed in puzzling outfits. This man is so often spotted doing ludicrous tasks, that the local young adults have created a Facebook page for him, where their friends can post pictures of where he is seen and their…

Some people discriminate on the all homeless people in the world. Hell even I do sometimes. The one thing we don't know though is what they do when we are not around to see. They have the ability to go anywhere and do anything since they have no responsibilities. The one thing no one has ever realized is that they seem homeless but they are keeping up this show to hide their deep and dark secrets they all have hidden from the world. They were all over! The car was leaking gas everywhere! They…

Hiss states that Grand Central is ever-changing: These days, though, there are much sadder sights in the concourse than there used to be: In the mid-1980s, Grand Central became a principal hangout for large numbers of homeless people, as well as for some of those who prey on the homeless. The various means of population displacement are as a result of economic, social, or political factors. Society and culture generally demand a hierarchy, a likely result of our animalistic origins of predator…

Throughout the community I reside in, there is a continuous problem of what goes on in the streets. It is not uncommon to see people walking the streets late at night, or begging for money during the day. The reality is these people are struggling, and they need help of some sort.

Many people are going without…

The Struggle is Real When a grown man that smells of smoke comes up to someone and spills a storyline of his children and wife and how they are working hard to get a bite to eat, how he finally got a job but the paycheck does not come until Friday, the story seems so rehearsed, anyone who listens may call bluff and turn and walk away. However, homelessness is a real struggle to many people who live locally in Licking County, Ohio. The homelessness rates in Licking County, Ohio are alarming and…

up entirely of knitted fabric of sorts. Typically you would recoil just from the contrast of appearance but this may not be entirely true. If we look further into it, it may be the contrast of appearing settings. We notice someone who is dressed begging for change in an environment that contradicts what's being seen. This resorts to instincts, all not…

I stood in my house as I observed my dad saying “we got accepted”. With laughter and tears in his eyes, he ran to the phone and called his bestfriend telling him about the happy news. With confusion and wondering what is going on, my dad gathered us and said “ we are going to migrate to the United States Of America during the summer.” I was lost, shocked and had many mixed feelings. It felt like I was going to migrate to the new world. Everything seemed to be unclear. Then my dad said that “I…
