Tyler Johnson-Discussion Leader Ch. 3-4

1)Was Adam Shepard’s argument with the owner of the baby clothing store an important part of his journey?
It makes a major impact on his story. It makes him see that he will not be able just to lay low through this experience. He must speak up for himself or he will not be able to get through his.

2)Was the decision of becoming a roommate with Marco a good or bad idea? Do you think it will happen?
I do believe that he will have Marco as a roommate. This is going to turn out to be a good decision as he will be able to go through being homeless with someone. It could possible turnout bad as they seem to have not spent much time together.

3)Should Adam have taken more time to try to explain to Larry that his plan will not work?
He should have taken time to get Larry’s attention. He is likely to fail in the payments of his apartment and end up in the shelter again. This will leave his depressed and more unlikely to get out of the shelter.

4)Should Adam have given up on Easy Labor and take his time in finding a permanent job?
I think that he should take the time to get a permanent job. An example of why he should do it is one day when he worked his whole day and only came out with $14. He should also take time to find a job that will give him benefits as in the end of chapter 4 he meet a guy that lost his job, because he had no medical insurance and was hit by a drunk driver.
