Bartleby was basically hired for copying the text but eventually he started refusing the work requested by the lawyer. The story reflects the mental and physical breakdown of the character Bartleby through the eyes of other people. Even as the story progresses and different people come into contact with Bartleby, he remains unchanged. The narrator repeatedly states that “Bartleby did nothing but stand at his window in his dead-wall revery” (Melville 607). This is yet another way that Bartleby’s static character, along with his flat nature, is shown.
If I would have passed by this event without the current research pulsing through my mind, I fear I would have not have even put in the effort to think twice about the matter, but I noticed something that neither my search for knowledge or ignorance of that knowledge could satisfy, unless I were to find out myself. One group of homeless victims stood out to me, so I began to deeply observe the situation even further. I could not help but notice that this was not just a group of homeless people, but rather a husband, wife, and daughter, and to even top things off, the father of this family was recording the entire situation with his Apple I-Phone. The homeless family was just a sad wake up call to the actual impact of homelessness, but what intrigued my attention, towards the study of the culture at least, was the fact that this homeless man had an I-Phone. How could a homeless man afford an I-Phone and not put in the extra cent for a considerably decent place for his family?
Like, if she was somebody then what did she do to end up on the bench of a bus station? This story honestly doesn’t change my perspective on homeless people at all. I feel that they are there because they were just being lazy and didn’t take care of whatever business that should have been taken care of to become successful. I fully understand the author’s view on the homeless, though.
McEwan tells the story through his first person narrator, Joe. His ideas come across as contrasting, maybe hinting at his future lack of structure as a result of these events and the trauma they cause. The first sentence in the chapter is ‘The beginning is simple to mark,’ however in this chapter alone there are many theories and ideas thrown out there despite very little information being given away. He explains this by saying later “I am holding back the laying information”…”because this was a time when other outcomes were still possible”. With this, Joe describes many things in his current situation such as his girlfriend and the different settings in a large amount of detail, however, the one thing he does not describe once and the reader is given no information on is Joe himself- this could have a deeper meaning in the sense that Joe may be a man who always thinks about other people (however this may be contrasted with his deep sorrow and feeling of selfishness for releasing the balloon).

Why do we do that? When we see a homeless person on the street begging, why do we walk on by? There are some people like my friend Sarah, who “instead of giving homeless people money, I will give them food. I don’t like to give them money, because I’m not sure what they will do with it. I have a hard time of ignoring them” – She does it because it is the right thing to do for her.
On the other hand for the positive aspect homeless says that the staff treat them as human and listen carefully to the word from homeless people. Therefore this study shows that to decrease the negative aspect people in the health service need to make good relationship. Moreover, this relation of the trust make homeless to continue treatment and encourage. The significance of this study is to understand the idea and perception of the young homeless with mental problem. It is said to be that they are not sufficient with the services around them.
The homeless need helps and supports in order to deal with their problems. The homeless know how to take care of themselves as same as everyone but because of lacking supports and help such as money and a home from the government, they are unable to deal with their problems. One of many ways, the homeless people can feel better and safe is by getting help and support from their problems and show them things, for instance, getting a job. According to the article “No More Homeless In America: It Can Be Done, Here Is How”? the author agrees that “[People] can end homelessness by providing those who are without home with a home meaning a real home not a shelter.
Homelessness In America Most of us never question where we will lay our heads to sleep tonight. For many Americans, though, the answer is not quite so simple. Homelessness is defined by Merriam-Webster as, “having no home or permanent place of residence.” In a country the size of the United States, homelessness is a result of issues much deeper than we can imagine. Being homeless is probably one of the most overlooked and dismissed problems in our country today. It is easy to group these people together and label them all the same, but every homeless person has a story, a reason, or a problem, that has lead them to where they are today.
