They do not have families that care about them or want them. Describing the characters, the author did a wonderful job using colorful adjectives. (introductory participial phrase) Greasers overall have very complicated, hard lives but they always make the most of what their life handed
The first Beatitude is is the root from which all other Beatitudes grow. Once one gains understanding of this Beatitude, the rest will become clear. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” To be poor means to have literally nothing. It means that one becomes a beggar, and are completely and utterly destitute. Poverty is a lack of the essential needs in one’s life.
I know they say not to goof off at work. However I just can’t help it. The jobs too much fun and the people are too crazy not to let loose every now and then. Q: What do you dislike about your present job? A: Money!
Lights flash all over the place from carnival games that seem hopeless victory. Rollercoasters are probably my most favorite attractions because the joy of riding a rollercoaster never gets old. No matter how many times I have been on the ride, it always brings forth new excitements and thrills. The adventure is always new; my adrenaline rush keeps me going. Rollercoasters track are able to produce infinite number of option for the coaster to travel, where it can loop, twist and turn, or simply go in reverse.
My feelings are strong for racing like theirs is for other sports. But that why we are blessed to live in America, we can love what we want to it doesn’t really matter what people think. After reading both sides of the argument I hope there is a different opinion about racing. Whether people like it or not, racing is here to stay.

But Kozol makes some big important points why being illiterate can hurt the person in all parts of life.

Everything these days counts on mostly technology, being able to understand and read technology is a huge part of today’s society.
As a young child, I lived my life to play soccer. I grew up everyday being surrounded by the sport. Naturally, the love for the game has been embedded within me. There are few things in life a person can have such passion for. I lived in Spain until the age of eleven, when I moved to Chico California.
I have lived my life to the fullest so far focusing more on personal happiness and gain than on things others find important such as school and family. I have made stupid mistakes and taken lots of risks but ultimately I have never had to pay for any of the shenanigans I take part in. You know they say you can only get away with something for so long; well I’m starting to wonder when my luck is going to run out. I was thinking one day and discovered a new idea, something that never crossed my mind. Maybe, just maybe I was getting away with so many things, getting so many 2nd chances, and not dying for a reason.
Its quite amazing how fast your opinion can change. All the activities that I can do now do not compare to even one day as being a child. On the other hand I still enjoy being an adult and I still have a lot to experience. My life as a child and as an adult is vastly different but still is similar in small ways. When I was a child I was allowed to do basically anything that I wanted to do.
Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." - Oscar Wilde "Time is the enemy of identity" - Michael Moorcock "In contrast to how a child belongs in the world, adult belonging is never as natural, innocent, or playful. Adult belonging has to be chosen, received, and renewed. It is a lifetime's work." - John O'Donohue (Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong) "Our bodies know they belong; it is our minds that make our lives so homeless."
