Michael and Mister are alike in the fact that
they are both trying to bring awareness to a homeless problem. The events that
Mister caused by holding the eight lawyers hostage is what got Michael thinking
about the problem. Mister and Michael both didn’t have anybody who really cared
for them. Mister was a lonely man who was just looking for justice and Michael
seemed to be denied by his ex wife Claire who seemed to only have interest in
Michael because of the money. Mister was trying to be the voice for the
homeless; Michael also became the voice for the homeless once he realized that
people are wrong for evicting families. They both broke the law; Mister came to
Drake & Sweeney Firm and held hostage to lawyers and Michael stole a file
of people who have been evicted.
Ruby
illustrates the plight of the homeless in not having a safe job all to keep her
son happy and giving him everything he needs. Her difficulties of the homeless
tell her drug addiction causing her to lose custody of her son. The effect that
she has on Michael is noticing that there is much more to live and accomplish
without the use of drugs and fighting back for custody of her son. She
expresses to his narrative by giving herself the chance to reflect on herself
and allow for Michael and Brock to help her out so she can see her son again.
When she showed up at the clinic seeking for help to see her son who was taken
under custody of the family who she used to work as a maid for, Michael felt
empathy for her and she accepts to get help. She goes out of the city with
Michael to help her cope and have the feeling of starting a new life hoping one
day soon to get her son back and make him proud of her.
