Personal Narrative: Being Evicted Out Of A Home
I found the tile of the book is the perfect match for this book. It really does show the true meaning of being evicted. I was honestly kind of ifty when I first open up the book I honestly thought it was going to be boring. It really does show true hardship living in property and it also shows how people go on with their life. I believe I would of went crazy if I was being evicted out of my house. I wouldn't know what to do , it will be exteremly hard to come up with extra money or the thoughts going threw a person head on what to do next. What would happened if they don't have any sources to get them help ? Or all the homeless shelters are full up ?. I just can't image people thoughts once they get a eviction notice. Also , I image …show more content…
I really don't know why I had that in my head maybe because he tried working off his rent . I'm thankful that my mothers and I landlord is very understanding with us when we are short with rent. He trust us to get catch back up without worrying. In my oppion , it felt every chapter went in order. It went from people living in rough conditions, making ends meat , and landlord point of view. I never really thought how landlords feel actually evicting a family. I know I wouldn't have a heart evicted a family espically If they have young babies I guess being landlord need to have heartless side to actually be successful in their business . They will need to make money if they depend on people paying their rent. When the book was talking about mobile home park how the manager tries to section off the drugs dealers , the hard workers , and Felonies . I picture different types of trailers , one section is all broke down trailers and another section is all beautiful trailers . I honestly felt extremely terrible for Ned and Pam in chapter 4 I felt like they was young

    Lost Angels: Skid Row Is My Home is an investigative documentary that gives us the untold story of the homeless and disadvantaged living on Skid Row. Skid Row is a name given to fifty blocks radius in Downtown Los Angeles whose residents tends to have a lower income or are homeless. Many people view the homeless as being dirty, poor and even lazy; it is very rare that we wonder why how they came to be in such a predicament. For many on Skid Row their battles are mental illness and grave poverty. The documentary introduces us to eight different but very similar individuals living on Skid Row; they tell us their very different stories and then explain their similar experiences living on Skid Row. We meet a transgender Caucasian male, an African- American mother of three, an old Caucasian female and her African American “fiancé”, they all suffer from mental illness in one form or the other and there is even an ex Olympian who battled through substance abuse. The only difference between these people and us are certain circumstances and situations. The film just sheds light and gives understanding to the fact that yes they are homeless, yes they lie in the street but they are people just like me and you. Watching this film had me literally questioning why we are socialized to believe being homeless is demeaning and a social taboo.…

    My second point is the Hermit. The Hermit is one of the side stories in the book they don't get that deep into the story but they give up just enough details to make a point out of it. The hermit in the book is considered to be evil by everyone in Wirrawee. But when Ellie discovers the Hermits den she finds old documents and photo's of his family. If he was so evil why would he keep them. Personally I think that he was putting his family out of their misery by shooting them, and he stayed away from everyone because he could not stand being judged.…

    The video was a great visual on understanding more into this population.Being homeless can mean foodless, cloths less, and sometimes friends or family less for many people. Homelessness in a way is a put down for many. It stops them from being able to accomplish their goals and ambitions. Some people are in a daily struggle of survival that it becomes their only struggle. In the video Sammy talks about just being able to survive, taking life day by day. Adam talks about going to complete more of his schooling and getting a BA. Keegan looks for love. They all have struggles and ambitions. I think that the interview shows us a good view point on how this population lives. I’m proud of these student being able to interview people and learn more into the homeless population. I have been in that place before. Not having a home is a big thing. Just knowing you don’t have anywhere you can rest your head at night and relax. Most people don’t understand that being homeless can sometimes mean more than just “not having a home”. Often times this means not having anything to eat. It’s sad because even if you have stuff, you don’t have anywhere to leave it, it often means carrying it or hiding it in public places. I think that homeless people need a more resources and help. Watching this video I can sometimes remember my struggles. When Sammy mentioned feeling “cold” I kind of felt sad. With the weather changing all the time you have to struggle threw all types of…

    It’s no fun being homeless. Everyday, I wake up, I am forced to spend another meaningless morning roaming around without a purpose, and another meaningless afternoon fighting for a spot in a shelter. Some days are better than others. Like on days that I make it to a decent shelter, I am blessed with an abundant amount of food, access to clean water, a warm bed that hasn’t been used, and a story from the book of life, aka, the bible. Life is good on those days, and no amount of rejection from the streets can take away my smile when I’m inside a place full of love.…

    "Can you guys come in the dining room for a minute?" As my face turns reddish and my stomach feelings like it is turning inside out, my stomach has never felt the way it felt that day? On just a day like no other I could not even believe that this had happened. That just a few words could have such a strong meaning, these words felt as if the world had been crashing all at once. This had felt like a nightmare, it stills feels like one to till this day, and I just have not woken up from it. I tell myself every day "everything happens for a reason" but I just can never seem to understand even after four years later what that reason was for. Why did this have to happen? I was only twelve years old, and when your parents tell you that they will no longer be able to be together it is the hardest thing to take in and think about.…
