Creative Writing: Homeless People

Homelessness is defined as having no fixed place to sleep at night. This includes people staying in motels until their money runs out, those staying with friends, those staying in shelters, and those sleeping inside or out whatever space they can find to protect themselves. The number of homeless people has been growing and it has become a serious problem in our society. Every night in Canada there are thousands of people living on the streets. This type of behaviour is considered deviant because it does not reflect the norms and values of our society. In many cases the homeless people in our country are treated as total outcasts. Many of these people have severe mental disorders. Some are victims of an economy that has

I walk along the bumpy sidewalk as I begin the daily search for food. This morning, like all others I can remember, I woke to darkness, crawled from the hill, and made the usual trek to this harsh, gray strip. Everyday, I have to forage for food for the colony. I don’t complain, though. Life could be worse. One day, I was scavenging by a red flower bush when a terrible shadow came over me and a massive, white object came down and crushed two legs of one of my co-workers. The white object continued down the sidewalk, alternating with another. They were attached to the bottom of one of the tan beasts we call “hoarders”. I had to help my co-worker back to the hill and then we had to sleep on empty stomachs as punishment for not bringing food.

Now that he had his adult card, he realized just how much his parents did for him. Life wasn’t a romantic comedy with a predetermined story arc. He needed to remain focused and not let everything go south and just lose all control over his life. He stayed focused and was able to do what he wanted to do. He now teaches and runs a lab at Ohio State

help but wonder why he is on house arrest. I don’t think much about it, he probably did something harmless, like lighting up in a park. He feeds my dog and waves to me when I get home everyday, but I’m not gonna lie, I do keep my space. Today is different though, I had a really great day, and already in a friendly mood, so when I got home and I saw Mr.Flufferson with him in his front steps I didn’t hesitate to come and grab him. “Hi” “hey” I said. “He was pretty hungry” “thanks for feeding him” I said. It’s nice to see him engaging with me, I love interacting with my neighbors. He asked me to come in for tea, and I mean why not. His house is quaint. It doesn’t look like he’s hosted anyone in years.

A person without a home, and therefore living on the streets is defined as homeless. America has numbers of homeless people living without a home or starving from hunger. The solution to this problem would be the United States providing homeless people with permanent, affordable housing, and wraparound services. Permanent supportive housing will resolve this issue for our country.

Billy was a hopeless creature with a face filled with such desolation that he brought out the humanity in people as they took pity on him. Whenever they walked past his spot on Sixth Avenue they made sure to drop him a coin or two and say a prayer, while ignoring every other penniless person down the street. Even those more unfortunate than him gave him money, one time, a homeless man approached him,

We walk up the steps and step into the testing building, we stop at our lockers to take our Focus. Today is the beginning of many lasting: our last day of school, our last summer break, our last time as children. After the test we are adults with mates and careers.

The next stepping stone in his pursuit of knowledge was Boston University, which is where Martin continued his odyssey for the ultimate truth; whether it be economical, spiritual, or philosophical (Carson 30). Martin increasingly had impulses while studying which would result in acquiring a partial yes and a partial no from the writers. Furthermore, this would only leave him thirsty for further arguments and perspectives (Carson 21). At times; however, these clashing principles would leave him utterly perplexed, undecidedly continuing the pilgrimage (Carson 26). Regardless of the many he studied, none would prove to be as influential on his thoughts than Gandhi was (Carson 23). Gandhi taught him the importance of loving the enemy, as well as

My waking brother preparing for work, the only clue that it was seven o’clock already. By this time, I would have made a two hour dent into the endless amount of material and educational videos about science, from recent discoveries and ideas such as the limitless potential of metallic hydrogen, and proposed and conducted treatments for harmful algal bloom in our own Great Lakes to the history of setups and labs that have led to the foundation of knowledge that is studied in school such as the experimentation which led to Sanger

Erin balls up the fourth sheet of paper in the past hour. His idea is more intensive than he had originally thought, but he was almost done. He has spent too many nights working on this to stop now, and he probably couldn’t get a good grade from studying now His plan is finishes within a couple days of the final for Renholds’ class.

“To keep Martin from looking towards the fat lady, He stared at the numbers by the door”.(27) He was also tense that the fat lady was just watching him. After getting off the elevator Martin went to school, “during school he thought about her all day did she live in the building he kept asking himself “.(73) Martin was not sure if she lived there, so he was thinking what to do if he saw her again. He was also thinking if she did not live there he can not be scared of her.

The old man sits in his same old position outside the bar, slumped over like a fallen tree. He begs for more of his precious drink as the rain showers down his long greasy hair. His dirty hands clasp a bottle of cheap wine. Dark grey eyes look sadly over a broken nose.

“That test was so easy,” my friend Olivia said, turning around to show off her A-. My heart pounded against my rib cage. Was I the only one who got such a low score? Something had to be done. I would have to take initiative of my learning and find out what was wrong.

First, Rikki proves himself very intelligent, when he explains his plan saying to Darzee, ¨Not eat exactly; no Darzee if you have a grain of sense, you will fly off to the stables and pretend that your wing is broken… I must go to the melon bed¨(23), this is so Nagaina will not see him when he goes to crush the eggs. He shows again great intelligence when “Rikki-Tikki put his paws on either side of the egg and his eyes were blood-red. What price for a snake’s eggs for a young cobra? For the last, the very last of the brood!” (25). This authenticates my statement by telling us that he can blackmail people into what he wants them to do. Finally, he shows that he knows his own abilities when “He did not feel he could manage two snakes at once, so he trotted off.” (19)

Thomas crossed the road, looking both ways before he dashed across the cracked pavement. Just because the crosswalk was blinking a little green man didn't mean the early morning New York commuters wouldn't run him down if he took too long. In his hand was a small brown package from the deli behind him that crinkled as he moved. After crossing the street he stopped for a moment to catch his breath. Despite being young, he was not in the best shape, and running was not something he did often. As he pushed his sandy blond hair out of his face, and straightened his tie, which has flipped over his shoulder. His brown eyes locked onto his motivation for crossing the street. With his lungs need for oxygen satiated, he took a few hesitant steps
