Hi my name is Tyler Beers. I am a sophomore here and I am majoring in business. I am originally from Dubois Pennsylvania. I have moved a few times in my life. I have lived in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania/ New York state line, Indiana, and now Ohio. Even though i live in Ohio i still root from the Pittsburgh sports teams. My fact was after college my goal is to open a sports bar called Beers and Friends.
In the reading in the book Holding on my favorite profile is the interview with Steam Train. The theme that stood out to me was how he has been homeless since the age thirteen. I feel this is important because Steam Train has basically been homeless his whole life. At the the age of thirteen most kids are living at home and getting some sort of education. The section that i had highlighted is on page 20. It is in the section of the page where Steam Train talked about the difference between hobos and bums. And my question is when Steam Train is talking about the hobo camps, I wonder why the hobos didn't want him around even when he was a hobo.

I was amazed that he was homeless by the age of 13 also. Its amazing how the times have changed where now you wouldn't be able to live away from home and quite school like that. I think the reason that the hobos didn't want him around was because they believed in him that he could do better for himself than being a hobo. The passage did make a comment that they pushed each other to do better.
ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool how you want to open up your own sports bar. My favorite profile in holding on was also steam train. I also highlighted the section about the difference between hobo's and bums.
ReplyDeleteI was amazed also that he became homeless at a young age. Mostly children at that age say they would run away from home and not mean it. I didn't think there was a difference between hobos and bums. I just thought they were just homeless.
