Question 1. Paragraph 38, Kozol says that we are afraid of homeless children. What are we afraid of?
- From what I read it seems that we don't know exactly what we are afraid of in regards to the homeless children. It could be a number of different things. (E.g. What they become if they survive, the sickness they may carry). It is to broad to pinpoint one specific fear.
Question 2. Are any examples particularly moving? Which ones? Why do they affect you the way they do?
- One that moved me quite a bit was near the end when it was mentioned that a senior attending Boston University was aggravated by the lack of aggressiveness to move the homeless people off the street. I find that a little to harsh. I was taught that you don't have to like someone, but you should be nice. And homeless people should be extended that same courtesy.
Question 3. Has your perception of the homeless changed as a result of reading "Untouchables"? Explain.
- I don't think my view has been differed to a great degree. If anything it has made me split on the issue. For one thing we know the problem and are trying to take care of it through means that aren't so nice, but again, I believe kindness is key.
