Recommended: Animal rescue essay

I would have to say that the reading I have enjoyed the most in the past year was A Dog Called Homeless. This book possesses a touching underlying main idea of showing how much you must respect and value your parents, as well as how you should help people in need and be there for others. All throughout, the plot develops a good moral theme. The main character gives her food to a homeless man, helps become a much needed friend to a blind boy, and helps her father deal with the grieving processes of her recently deceased mother. As the story comes to an end, the main character will learn how much her parents do for her and how she should appreciate them.

  • Homeless Problem Essay

    510 Words  | 2 Pages

    The homeless population is growing in America. There are more and more Americans living in boxes, sleeping on park benches and panhandling on the streets each day. These people tend to make us, the non-homeless, feel uncomfortable and unsafe. They are also placing increasing stress on the nation's economy. In short, the homeless are a burden on the rest of society. There needs to be action taken against them. "I shall now humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection (Swift.)" I propose that all of the homeless be relocated to foreign third world countries. They can then be hired in American factories producing shoes, automobiles and other various goods at less than one dollar per hour.
