When Adam side tracks from the story to mention circumstances in his past life such as, “She was just like my mom, she couldn’t throw anything away,” does this side track from the story and unnecessary, or help his story be more relatable to the readers?
One of the reasons Adam has more money than his roommate is because he doesn’t spend any money on alcohol and tobacco. So why do many people who are poor spend money on these unnecessary items.
What must this experience been like for Adams family? He goes back home for Christmas but he doesn’t mention any of their feelings. Why?
Adam mentions it takes him a long time before he realizes there is a free clinic for sick people. One could infer that Adam is not the first person to no know about some of the options available to those who are sick and poor. What kinds of consequences could this create in real life?
Answers:1) We found personally find the side stories distracting from the story. Not because their not important but, he never introduced his parents that much, so when he mentions them it seems awkward.
2)We thought think many people spend money on unnecessary items because of their social influences.
3)We think it would have been important for Adam to mention more about his family, so it helps the reader develop a better sense of the story he is telling.
4)We think there should be more information to people to help them find places that can help them.
