In this article, John Baranski talks about how he homeless people in America are actually shaping America. It helps us understand more of what life is like as a homeless person. “Citizen Hobo makes a significant contribution to our understanding of homelessness and domesticity in the century after the civil war.” This quote shows what the author is trying to say in the article. “Mostly young, single, and male, these hobos by necessity and choice hopped the rails in search of seasonal jobs and relief, using their wits, each other, and labor as their primary means of survival.” I like this quote because it shows how the men that were homeless, were homeless on purpose. These men wanted to find better, so they left everything in search of new. Times have changed now and it’s harder to come by money and many other necessities. I like this source a lot, but I might not end up using it very much because it mainly talks about back in the day and not modern times.
