  2. 1. making them feel better about them selves, cheer them up
    2. sacrificed himself
    3. how the people had jobs but it still couldnt buy a house with the money you make
    4. I think it means that it is not a guarentee that you will have food. It happens when people dont have money.

  7. 1. Help someone who is struggling with homework understand what they are doing and pick someone for your team early that doesn't usually get picked until really late of last.
    2. He jumped off of the cart to get joy out of the pit
    3. Kids think that it's their fault for their families' homelessness
    4. No but I think it means you don't know where your next meal is coming from and because they don't have a good enough source of income to pay for food.

  8. 1. Two ways selflessness could make someone's day would be during free seating friday if someone is being left out than invite them to sit with you and your friends, another example would be if someone is having trouble with homework or understanding something in school than you can explain it to them so they understand it better
    2. He put others before he put himself
    3. I remember how some kids were embarrassed or they thought the reason they were homeless was there fault
    4. I think food insecure means you don't have very much food...I'm not sure

  9. 1. You could ask how their day is going and if they are having a bad day you could do something nice for them
    2. When they were going up the mountain he jumped off so Joy could get up to "headquarters"
    3. That most kids that are homeless die at around the age of 5 or 6
    4. Yes. I think it means that they don't know if they will be able to eat that night so it will probably effect their stress level, their level of attention, etc.

  10. 1. When you are selfless you could start up a conversation with someone you don't usually hang out with and become friends. The second way to show selflessness is show that you care for them and that you want to get to know them better.
    2. He got off the ride up so it is lighter for Joy to get up the cliff.
    3. That kids sometimes think that it is their fault they are living without a home.
    4. I have heard of food Insecure. I think this means that they don't own or contain food.

  12. 1. In basketball, sometimes people don't pass you the ball because you might lose it, or you won't make the basket. You can pass the ball to that person, so they actually feel like they are helping and playing. Another example is if you are with a group of people and one person is feeling left out, because your telling inside jokes with your other friends, you can talk to them and maybe even explain the story to them, and make new memories with them.
    2. He decided to spend his life in the hole so Joy could get out and go help his friemd become happy.
    3. Kids felt embarrassed, and like it was their fault they were homeless. Many people live in their car, and it's not safe for people to do that. Sometimes they offer a place for people to stay, but their families are most likely split up. Some homeless people have a job, but they don't make enough money to pay for a house on top of the necessities they need so they stay in a motel.
    4. I think it means that sometimes you have food, and sometimes you don't, but you never know for sure. I think this happens because you don't have enough money, or if your not in a good place.
