This book describes the lifestyle of the teenagers with no home and explains with detail about what consist in their everyday lives in the streets of New York City.

A homeless person is an individual without a permanent, stable housing situation who either spends his or her nights on the streets or in temporary facilities, such as shelters and abandoned buildings. Throughout history, society has been “holding the poor, rape or incest victims, minorities, or the handicapped responsible for their misfortunes” (Zur). Society has been blaming the homeless for being in the position they are in. However, upon closer inspection, it must be noted that “children under the age of 18 accounts for 39% of the homeless population…battered women who live in poverty are often forced to choose between abusive relationships and homelessness…[and] 40% of homeless men have served in the armed forces” (Who Is Homeless?). It is clear that those who are homeless are not

In “Invisible Child,” a New York Times article written by Andrea Elliot, we follow a day in the life of a young African American girl, Dasani, growing up in New York City. However, instead of living in an “Empire State of Mind,” Dasani lives in the slums, growing up homeless with her two drug addicted parents and seven siblings. Dasani often finds herself taking care of her siblings, making sure they have enough to eat, tying shoelaces, changing diapers, getting them to the bus stop in time, and the list goes on. An 11 year old girl, essentially taking care of a whole family, as well as taking care of herself by going to school, receiving an education, and partaking in extra-curricular activities. Elliot captures the life and struggles of a family well under the poverty line, giving us an unprecedented look into what Dasani must do each day not just to grow up in New York City, but to survive.

In the award winning movie We Bought a Zoo, directed by Cameron Crowe, Dylan Mee isolates himself from life and his life’s issues. In the beginning of the story when the Mee family moves to a zoo, Dylan is discouraged and stops communicating with people. In fact, Lily forces Dylan to communicate with her, “I’ll bring you a sandwich everyday at four o’clock.” (Crowe, x:xx) Dylan would much rather draw in his journal than to have to deal with Lily everyday. Later in the story, Dylan refuses to work at the zoo; instead Dylan would rather find some corner and work in his art journal. In an argument, his dad even says to “pick up a shovel, dig a hole. Do SOMETHING!” (Crowe, x:xx) This causes Dylan to isolate himself even more; but, the next day

Relativism, defined by Rachel’s is the differentiation of cultural codes among societies, in respect to morality. Insofar the problem that is faced is whether or not there is a universal moral code all people can abide too? In explaining Rachel’s and Williams standpoint on Relativism and what they argue for, I on the other hand, will argue for relativism, in using some of Rachel’s views, in rejecting Williams conclusion of relativism. For Williams perceives no one outside of a society should impend on the social matters of a differing nation. To argue why his view is abstract, As well in many moral degrees, his philosophical conclusion could never be followed. For the axioms of morality are distinct, in varying situations, in which leads us to compare traditions, to see if they are right or wrong..

After being caught for fighting with her classmates, Angie is sent to the counselor’s office where she confesses her frustration with her current living situation.

Quindlen assumes that her audience buys into the cliché of “home is where the heart is,” and believes that homeless people are different than people with homes. The author’s assumptions are reasonable because the idea of homeless that Quindlen is battling, is the version portrayed through the media. When Quindlen included the idea that home is a feeling, she specifically addressed an assumption that undermined her views.
