Later that night he told my mom of what I said during that conversation‚ though she wasn’t surprised as I had grown up as a very aware child in Ottawa‚ a city with over six thousand homeless citizens. She believed that my exposure to cultures in school and my natural empathetic abilities helped me become the person I am now. During

Are the Rich Happy vs Homeless: A Comparison Are the Rich Happy is more compelling than Homeless because the author uses wry cynicism to shine a light on rich people’s money problems being about social status rather than money while Homeless is based on describing the homeless problem. Although both of these stories are written in different ways‚ one being a narrative while the other is descriptive‚ they are both dealing with two different ends of the human financial spectrum.

It’s no fun being homeless. Everyday‚ I wake up‚ I am forced to spend another meaningless morning roaming around without a purpose‚ and another meaningless afternoon fighting for a spot in a shelter. Some days are better than others. Like on days that I make it to a decent shelter‚ I am blessed with an abundant amount of food‚ access to clean water‚ a warm bed that hasn’t been used‚ and a story from the book of life‚ aka‚ the bible.

In the spring of last year‚ my mother and I were walking down the street on our way to serve dinner to the homeless when it turned into a nightmare. The place we had enjoyed going to together and helping those in need became a place that made us shudder and think of bad thoughts. At 4:15 we were attacked and robbed in front of hundreds of people waiting in line to get the dinner that we were going to serve them. I watched‚ helpless‚ as my mom had her hair pulled and was punched multiple times

I decided that I would much rather live in the society we live in today rather than in an Amish society for many reasons. One of the areas that I will be discussing is the education system of the Amish Children. The second area that I will be discussing is the impacts and how important religion is to the Amish. Finally‚ I also felt that another interesting area of consideration would be the relationship between Amish children‚ parents‚ and the community as a whole. As you can see‚ I have many areas

open and closed societies‚ the differences between the two are more thought of than the similarities. During World War II‚ Germany was a closed society. The citizens were told what to do in every aspect of their lives. The German government wanted to try and create a “perfect race”. In an open society‚ like the United States‚ each individual is able to be just that‚ an individual. There are no set standards that Americans have to reach. One of the biggest ways these two societies differ is the speech

school shootings. We need a not always question what is going on and why so we don’t turn into a world completely like The Giver. However‚ we are somewhat like their world and still different from their world and that is a good thing. Our society and the society in The Giver have many similarities and differences in having children. For example‚ page 8 paragraph 6 of The Giver states “Two children - one male‚ one female - to each family unit. It was written very clearly in the rules.” Also on page
