1. Both “Homeless” by Anna Quindlen and “Homeless Man” by C.J. Heck are concerned with the overall theme of homes; yet the essay has a more hopeful tone than the poem.
Are both of these emotional stances on this subject correct in your opinion? Why or why not?
2. “Homeless Man’s” specific theme concerns homelessness.
–What picture about homelessness does the author paint?
–How do the last two lines tie into this in your opinion?
–Line #21 contains two actions the poet takes toward homelessness. Are there additional things he could do? You could do? Society in general could do?
