In House for the Homeless I liked the way she interview the different indivduals and got their story about their problems in life. But the one I like the most was when she talked to a girl named Hope. It seem as if she was really going through alot in her life. She had psychological problem that doctors couldn't diagnose. She dropped out of school and alot of things were just going so wrong in her life. But the author didn't belive her cause her stories weren't adding up. I felt like the author felt what the people were going through because she too was a immigrant and had to come to the USA with nothing. Another thing was the headline ,A Place to Hang Your Hat, made you think about having a home or a place to stay. She showed how some people from other countries come to the USA and they can't find jobs that they went to school for. I feel as if thats not fair!!!!
In Ralph's Sports Bar she talked about how there are different types of subcultures in one environment. And basically got into detail about the bar. she describe the signs and the rules that were hanging up nd how she didn't think he bar would have rules. She talked about the tables and the songs that were playing in the juke box. She seemed as if she was scared to interview the people in the bar because she didn't interview many people. She interview a lady named Alice that was the girlfriend of the owner of the bar. her and Alice worked together at a law firm. And she told her about all of the stereotypes in the bar and how they treated the women.
She showed the different situations that immigrants have to go through just to live in the so called Land of Opportunity and theres no opportunities for them but the really low income jobs that nobody else wants. How fair is that?!
