Peace, once again, sheds its ray;

For how long...no one can say.

 

Ray

 

Ray is an unmotivated man who generally is looking for some way to find some money. He does get some day work occasionally, but doesn't get up in the morning and drinks alot of beer. He always looks terrible and seems to be the example of how we don't want to be. He is a nice guy but only when he gets something he wants, otherwise he gets angry and blames others for his lack of luck in discovering free beer or cigarettes.

 

Ray cannot help being a liar, and seldom ever bathes or eats. He lives in a demolished tent alongside Matt, and trash is all around. He takes no responsibility for his actions while drinking beer is his focus. Begging on the street corner for beer money, and begging from everyone he encounters, is his routine. This poor man is a hopeless alcoholic with nothing to look forward to each day...except beer.

 

Allen

 

You can always recognize Allen from a distance because he almost never goes anywhere without his three-legged dog. He has a long gray beard and long gray hair, and is like me...skinny. He does a lot of walking also. He had to wait a very long time to get his disability approved but it finally came through. I like Allen alot but he has let me down because I had higher hopes for him, as he has potential to be one of the homeless examples for the local churches to observe...but he lost his commitment. He could have taught them much.

 

Allen assumes constantly, which is a direct result of his huge ego. Even though he is nothing to look at, other than a perfect example of a homeless man, Allen thinks he knows everything and cannot listen. He begs for his beer money, as it is easy for such a pathetic looking man. He only wears long sleeves and overalls. I would like him to take responsibility for his actions.

 

Shane

 

Shane is Brittany's wife, and is the poster child for the local church groups. He is a wonderful and very good looking, perfect example of how a young man should be. He carries a positive attitude and retains his faith even when all others fail to do so. Although I have not witnessed him do much, and he doesn't seem to have a career di
