>		 Given that Nona's paper is about her walk to school, it is impossible for me to express, far less modify, her own attachments to the journey. Thus, I decided to go on a walk myself -- treading her path once and then once more. I must admit that I had no music (it was sunny outside and the birds could be heard over the sounds of traffic) and the want of David Byrne may have reduced the value of my walk. But I do not think so.

Those homeless men that sleep on top of the heating ventilators surely provoke strong emotions in me too, including shame. And I always wondered why was it that I feel these things, but I cannot transform the emotions into actions?
Line: 41 to 43
  I am not sure if those questions are directed at me as my editor or at the class as a question. Maybe that's why we feel shameful. We aren't doing shit.

>		 I think your comment on the homeless is a rather romanticised view of the reality -- easy for us to harbour since we are far removed from the plight. The fact is that there is homelessness, that hundreds die from cold every winter, and that people eat scraps of food from the trash. But sympathy will not solve the problem -- in fact, it only puts us on a pedestal of illusional superiority. You either do something to help, or you don't. The person who offered those boxes was not consumed by philosophical grief when he offered some of his "hard-earned" boxes. He did what he had to do. That's it.
