The Whipping Boy 7

After learning more about the characters, what kind of connections did you make between the characters and some people in your life such as a family member or friend?

There are a lot of homeless people on the streets where I live.  The homeless people will do a anything for money, shelter, and clothes.  You can find homeless people in Spring Valley.  Homeless can be found a lot of places trying to find somewhere to live.  I know some homeless people that stand by the store, and when people come out they ask for their change.  Homeless people beg for food and money because they are hungry and thirsty.  In the book Jemmy is homeless he has no money, water or food just like the homeless people where I live.

If you had change would you give the homeless person money?
If you had clothes will you donate them to homeless people?
