Description of a Bum

When most people think of big cities, they imagine gigantic structures climbing into the bright blue sky, or millions and millions of people scampering around like little ants trying to get food in for the winter. What they don’t think about, however, are the lower-class people, men and women who live on the cold, cracked sidewalks in the shadows of those gigantic buildings. There is a section of every big city called the slums. …

…notices this man, cold and hungry, standing in the center of a pile of garbage. The people that pass by never take the time to look to the side and see what kind of life he has. Maybe they are afraid of what they might see? Everyone thinks of the major business and important people in big cities. They always seem to overlook the lower-class people who live in the slums of these massive cities.
