English 10E

1. Continued working on essay. Reviewed quote integration. Review the following example for body paragraphs:

......(indent). In "Theories of Relativity," one of the hardships Dylan experiences is the shame associated with being homeless. First, even though they know Dylan is a street kid, the police want him to stay out of sight so that they and the public will not be bothered by him. For example, one cold night a pair of cops wake Dylan when they find him sleeping on a vent to keep warm. When Glen intercedes to take Dylan out for breakfast, one cop says, "Get out of here and quit littering the streets" (116). This quotation shows how the public disregards street kids as shameful and embarrassing. Shame is one of many factors that makes living on the street difficult and demoralising.
