On Compassion

On Dumpster Diving is one of the most fascinating essays I have ever read. Lars Eighner approaches homelessness from the perspective of a professional way. For instance, he avoids ethnic foods that he is unfamiliar with and he knows where to find fresh pizzas and what time is the best for it. He describes dumpsters and explains them with the intellectual examples and the rational details. Eighner is particularly interested in how he can approach his foods rationally and describe them to the reader. Nonetheless, he doesn’t talk about himself much in his essay. It is a poorer essay from this point for that omission despite its perfect approach to "homeless life".
