Lecture: Read "Homeless"-Anna Quidlen
Q1. What is Quindlen's thesis? Can you state it in your own words?
Q2. What attitude does Quindlen have about homeless people? What is the worst aspect of their situation?
Q3. Quindlen states that people use language to lessen their involvement with others by turning "an adjective into a noun: the poor, not poor people." What does she mean? Can you think of other examples?
Q4. What role does Ann play in the article? Would an essay about homeless people be as effective without a personal example?
