23. Homeless Crazy?

            A question manny years ago arose that was as follows: what is the main cause for people to not have a home? After some quick research they concluded that homeless people become homeless for mental disabilities affect them. The other people how work to help homeless have a different opinion. They believe that yes there are some homeless people how have mental illnesses, yet most are homeless because they could not pay there rent sometime or another in there life. The government was naturally more pleased with the first reasoning, they did not want people thinking that the homeless are in some way there fault. It is much better to think of them as wanting or choosing to be there, as being dangerous, unpredictable people. By presenting this false view, “normal” people can continue to care about there own lives without any worries, when they actually should worry. The author concludes his essay by saying that if the homeless rose up as one, with one clear voice, they would possibly be heard, and then government would do something about it.

             The way the essay is written is clear, yet it presents some wordy part. The author did a good job in providing many outside sources. With the outside sources the author is able to both gain readers trust and also prove his point. The author also present a good informational topic in witch the public should be aware of. It is a topic involving the misguiding and misleadings of the government in witch greatly affects people in a particular situation how need help. Overall the author did a good job with his language and presentation of a topic witch needs more public attention.
