  1. At the end of chapter 16 Michael states that both he and Claire have lost.  Support or refute this statement. Michael and Claire both have lost in their matrimony because it wasn’t thrilled for them to be single again. When he drove away there had not been no type of feeling of liberation. He still had mixed feelings but showed no emotion.
  2. Michael's activities become questionable and even illegal.  Are these actions justified? The actions are not justified because he was only trying to help the people who were and are suffering from poverty. Although, stealing files and threatening the police is not the best way to help himself to a better job to help the homeless.
  3. Why does Hector Palma help Michael? Hector Palma helps Michael because he feels empathy after his divorce with Claire and his accident. He recognizes that Michael is very humorous and tries to help the families who are poor, with families who are dying.  
  4. Is Michael's changing life a downward spiral?  Why or why not? Michael’s changing life is a downward spiral because just lost his matrimony with Claire when all she wanted was attention from her husband but he never took the time to make it feel like they were married. He spent all his time working and helping homeless people which is a good thing to feel empathy for them but he also needs to think about his future with Claire. Now it is late, he got kicked out his house and is now living in an apartment by himself in the ghetto.
