Putting myself in the Younger's Shoes

  1. Put yourself into the shoes of the Younger family. What do you think it would be like to live in a tiny, three-room apartment with three generations of your family, without the choice or resources to move elsewhere?  
     To be honest I have some cousins who have been in a similar situation, so it is easy to palace myself in the Younger's situation. They lived in New Orleans, around the time when Hurricane Katrina hit, which was in 2005. Their houses got destroyed during the storm. So my mom decided to reach out to them, while we were in the middle of moving into an apartment because we were waiting on our new house to be built. My mom invited them to stay with us in the new apartment because they had no where else to go. They were so grateful for our help, the Younger's situation is a little different from this because they they did not have another place to go after a certain amount of time passed, unlike my cousins who got a new house after the hurricane had finished.
