The word homeless is usually used to define those people who have lost everything, including their property, and have no monetary income to sustain themselves or family. A person could be homeless for different reasons. One of the most common reasons to end up homeless is because…

In Mary Doria Russell’s novel The Sparrow, the complexities of social and structural sin, as well as fate and free will are evident.

With the decreased economy, the…

Have you ever driven past a homeless person and thought to yourself, where in life did this person go wrong? I know everyone has a different story, but I feel as though all homeless people deserve a second chance to better their lives. To help with this, I think the public should offer special assistance and resources to homeless people. Homeless people should be offered resources to go back to school, if needed, financial support and financial management, as well as reliable transportation to…
