    He is a boy who doesn’t really know much about life or what struggles people go through and encounter during their life. After a while, Clint is left in the café while John goes to the interview. When John comes back he is full of disappointment and finds Clint is alone, and the bait has been stolen from a ‘hungry tramp’. In a long shot, John runs after the ‘tramp’ after seeing him digging into their bait. John seems very heated and shoes intense signs of stress, because of all his failed interviews which therefore resulted in him not getting the job.

This is symbolic off the problems we all encounter in life and how we deal with them. The two shots of John and the ‘Tramp’ powerfully show that this is a serious matter but the scene also shows that poverty is slightly different for everyone and that there are many types of levels to…

Hell, he probably was. Any sane person, after all, would have given Fido nothing but a passing glance before returning to less morbid curiosities. Mrs. Francis and the lack of appearances from his other neighbors stood as a testament to that. But, he felt an accord with this dog’s small, beaten down body—so much like his own—that he just couldn’t bring himself to walk away, not yet. The answer formed before his mind had even begun to scratch the surface of the question and with a sense of clarity that had alluded him for years. He was going to bury the…
