Bag Lady
I am a reporter of local newspaper and today I am spending my time observing peoples reactions as I live alongside a homeless woman. I had seen the anger and the sadness in her eyes. As strangers, who pass her on the street, rush past without noticeable unease.
As soon as people passed by us, they typically were looking at me—ignoring her existence. In my perspective, people have judged the bag lady without knowing anything about her.
Water was dripping down her clothes cutting off the violence on the streets. If only for the moment, the homeless, not only are viewed as less than human by society.
I feel sorry enough for the lady on the street. I wanted to do something special for her—like take her out to dinner. However, I know that I will only take care of her for one day.
My mind was everywhere. I was not sure enough to write the things I saw today. I had something special in my mind. I thought, in back the way it goes because I know we try hard.

As a reporter for a local newspaper, I decided to observe the reactions of other people by spending an entire day appearing to live alongside a homeless woman. All through the day, strangers passed by us and I could see the anger and sadness in her eyes as they ignored her very existence. She's a bag lady. She pushes a cart and fills up bags with our discarded trash. She'll pick up anything that might help her survive her time on the streets. People not only don't make eye contact with her, they don't say a word. Water dripped off her clothes cutting off the violent noise of life lived on the streets. The homeless tend to be viewed as less than human. I feel sorry for the bag lady. I wanted to do something special for her - maybe take her out to dinner. But I know I can only take care of her for this one day. Or maybe tell her story so next time you pass her by, you'll acknowledge she is a part of all of us.

oh i think thats a big A in my book, I dont see anything wrong with it, You have a topic, You have a beginning, middle , and end, although maybe you should add at the end, of the story, Soo I decided to turn on my heels and go back to the lady, and through alot of snickering with background laughter, I asked her to go to a near by diner, and i paid for her dinner, and we became good friends
